In a world pummelled by speculation of global warming, acid rain and energy crises, how comforting it is that at the heart of your Potton home is a structural system build out of the oldest and most natural building resource known to man …. timber.

Our environment is precious and building with timber shows just how much we care because:

• Trees are the lungs of the earth, absorbing CO2 and producing oxygen.
• Timber is sustainable and renewable and in Europe our stock of timber is increasing year on year as we plant more trees than we harvest.
• Timber is a natural insulator that provides excellent thermal and acoustic performance and that is an energy gain for this year, next year and for decades to come.
• Timber is a “low embodied energy” source of building material. Strength for strength, timber can be produced using only 20% of the energy that is needed to produce concrete or steel and that means far fewer greenhouse gases and a better environment for us all.
