Sustainability in Timber Joinery

At Urban Woodwork, we believe in creating high-quality timber joinery that stands the test of time—both in craftsmanship and sustainability.

Timber is one of the most environmentally responsible materials available, offering durability, natural insulation, and a timeless aesthetic while reducing environmental impact.

Why Choose Timber?

Renewable & Responsibly Sourced

We prioritise using sustainably sourced timber from certified forests, ensuring responsible harvesting and long-term forest health. Unlike synthetic materials, timber is a renewable resource that can be regrown, making it a sustainable choice for your home.

Carbon Storage & Lower Footprint

Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide throughout their lifespan, and when used in construction, timber continues to lock in that carbon, reducing greenhouse gases. Compared to materials like aluminum or PVC, timber has a significantly lower carbon footprint in both production and disposal.

Durability & Longevity

Well-crafted timber joinery lasts for decades, often outliving alternative materials. With proper care, timber doors and windows can be restored rather than replaced, minimizing waste and promoting sustainable building practices.

Energy Efficiency

Timber is a natural insulator, helping to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption. This contributes to a more sustainable home by lowering heating and cooling costs.

We combine traditional craftsmanship with sustainable practices to create bespoke timber joinery that enhances your home while being mindful of the planet. Investing in high-quality timber doors and windows means choosing beauty, longevity, and environmental responsibility.
