Knightwood Oak

General information

Green Oak

Bespoke oak-framed buildings are full of character and they have a beauty and grace that compliments their strength and durability. They are also environmentally friendly and by marrying traditional and modern materials they can be made extremely energy efficient. Oak becomes harder and stronger with age, ensuring the buildings longevity. Craftsmen have been building with oak for centuries and these handcrafted oak buildings have stood the test of time.

Oak and the Environment

Building, using green oak, requires less energy than other forms of general construction and unlike other timber, green oak does not need to be treated extensively with preservatives.

An oak frame is also environmentally friendly (a stand of growing oaks produces large amounts of oxygen) and when used to build an oak frame the carbon dioxide remains locked in, thus reducing the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. When mature trees are felled, young trees are planted to replace them and the cycle starts again.
