Wood is perfectly crafted by nature. Col Timbers has taken this one step further by engineering timber perfectly to create products that are both sustainable and beautiful in your home. Col timbers is laminated for improved strength and stability. Finger joints allow for longer lengths of clear timber and help to minimise lateral movement. This process will also ensure that our timber retains its natural beauty for years to come.
As part of our environmental responsibility, we strive to make quality products that are durable and long lasting. Col Timbers is 100% Guaranteed, which is why we kiln-dry our wood to a moisture content of 8%. This process helps keep the wood in perfect balance with atmospheric conditions, thereby stabilising the timber and minimising movement or warping.
Timber is a sustainable and renewable resource. The more wood we use, the more forests we grow. Not only does wood bring warmth into your home, it’s also the best choice for the environment.
Our pine is sourced from local plantations that are FSC-certified. The FSC-Forestry Stewardship Council applies primarily to plantation forests and sawmills worldwide. Sustainability requirements for the council include: housing for communities, schools, infrastructure and plantation measurement amongst other key community and environmental development measures.
Our hardwood is sourced from sawmills internationally, where governments in these regions have implemented strict sustainability policies and compulsory harvesting programmes. These policies protect the environment and forest ecosystems as well as the interests of local communities.
