Nine Zero emphasises timber as powerful solution on World Sustainability Day

Nine Zero explains why we must point to timber as a powerful solution for low-carbon building projects this World Sustainability Day ...

World Sustainability Day falls on October 30th, and as we see a peak in the global message to go green, Nine Zero Timber Windows and Doors is highlighting the need for the glazing industry to treat energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions as business critical.

“Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword, trend or obligation, it’s a necessity to comply with Building Regulations,” explains Steve Winscott, Managing Director at Nine Zero. “Sustainable timber is vital in reducing the carbon footprint of construction, but there is still work to be done when it comes to industry understanding of timber as a powerful solution.”

As the demand for low-carbon building materials rises – in line with initiatives such as the UK’s Timber in Construction Roadmap and Net Zero Strategy – Nine Zero’s choice to use FSC-certified timber offers developers, architects, installers and builders handcrafted, bespoke and exceptional quality products that align with rigorous sustainability requirements. Timber’s natural ability to store CO₂ provides a renewable advantage over materials like concrete, steel, aluminium and uPVC, helping construction projects meet regulations and contribute to a more sustainable future.

“The climate focus in construction has made sustainability a priority, which is great, but the link now needs to be made to timber – as a clear solution that’s both renewable and aligned with today’s dynamic building standards,” says Steve.

Nine Zero has a core commitment to sustainability that extends far wider than World Sustainability Day. By using FSC-certified suppliers, the business supports global forestry conservation efforts. It also recycles timber waste, provides renewable energy to local homes, partners with Pozitive Energy for green electricity and plants a tree for every order taken.
