Sustainability intelligence
Count the carbon before you draw the detail.
Stored carbon, life-cycle impact, end-of-life outcomes and an honest comparison against non-timber alternatives.

Indicative figures for early-stage comparison. Confirm against an EPD for the supplied product.
Against the alternatives
Approximate cradle-to-gate impact per m² of cladding, same area.
- Timber cladding-0.7 t CO₂e
Stores carbon; renewable; reusable if detailed for disassembly.
- Aluminium panel+7.4 t CO₂e
High primary energy; excellent recyclability if separated.
- Fibre cement+1.3 t CO₂e
Durable, low maintenance, energy-intensive cement binder.
- Concrete panel+2.2 t CO₂e
High embodied carbon; very long service life.
