Sustainable wood sourcing for doors



Being Green With Your Wooden Products



Sustainability is everything in this era. We have been using wood to construct and build for hundreds of years. It’s a marvellous building product and it’s degradable, reusable and works as an effective insulator. 

Sourcing a sustainable source for doors isn’t difficult and it has its benefits. This can also help your products sell too. For example, let’s say you made this brand new door from renewable, sustainable, local materials. You would be able to pitch to you target audience and the customers showing them that it’s not all about the money and you do care for our planet and environment. Look at it this way; you would be able to tell them the materials used to build the door were locally sourced saving on delivery costs and carbon emissions. You would then also be able to tell them the wood used was from a sustainable source meaning the environment benefits from this.


How Do I Know It's Sustainable?


The aim is to give back what is taken. The general practice of a sustainable forest is for every 1 tree they cut down, they plant 3 more to replace it. They also take great care to protect the local wildlife while ensuring minimum impact. It is very important we support the sustainability of wood as it keeps a fresh supply of what we need and doesn’t affect the environment, if anything its better off right?

 Forest Stewardship Council are a non-government organisation dedicated to promoting the responsible management of the world’s forests. They run a certification system which, when award give the company the right to use the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) mark showing consumers that the products are sourced responsibly and sustainably which then allows consumers to correctly identify sustainable forest products.

Take Open Door Centre Warrington for example. They take pride in using sustainable, renewable materials in their doors. Yes it may be a little bit of extra work to source sustainable materials compared to non-sustainable ones but they take pride in making quality products with minimum impact to our environment, our planet.
