The practice of timber framing itself is considered eco-friendly and "green". Timber framing is sustainable for many reasons; below are some of the most common:

  • Renewable resource
  • Fewer structural members, less wood volume
  • Less milling waste
  • Wood joinery takes the place of metal
  • Uses local resources

CTF's owners and employees take our responsibility towards the environment seriously. All of our Douglas fir is locally harvested from managed forests, ensuring that these forest ecosystems maintain their biodiversity, regeneration and vitality.
