ecotects were delighted to work alongside County Oak Frames on a new home in the heart of the South Downs National Park.

County Oak Frames offer a wide range of hard and softwood products, specialising in bespoke furniture and timber clad and framed buildings.

This warm natural, material has many practical, aesthetic and environmental benefits including:

• Outstanding thermal and sound insulation properties

• Suitable for both new build and renovation projects

• Ease of repair

• Easily rejuvenated or redecorated

• Timber is a natural, warm, attractive material, suitable for use in rural or urban locations

• Timber is a renewable resource

• Source certification schemes ensure its sustainability

• Low carbon footprint – requires less energy to produce than any other construction material

• Growing trees remove CO₂ from the atmosphere. Using wood stimulates the expansion of managed forests to absorb more of this global warming gas.

• Major potential for re-use or recycling at end of life
