Environmental Benefits

Eco-Friendly Construction
Oak is a renewable resource, and many oak frame specialists source timber from responsibly managed forests or local suppliers, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Longevity
Oak is naturally durable and resistant to pests and decay, which means oak frame buildings can last for centuries with minimal maintenance, contributing to long-term sustainability.
