Timber
The team at BTDW has a commitment to producing environmentally sustainable products. The timber we use in the manufacture of our windows is selected from managed plantations.
Timber windows have a proven life cycle of 100 years; it is unlikely that Aluminium or U.P.V.C could match this, as they are difficult to repair and apply new protective coatings, which usually results in the whole window or door being replaced.
Windows and doors manufactured in timber have a huge advantage environmentally over alternative materials commonly in use. This can be measured by the embodied energy used, the embodied energy measures the total energy used to transform raw material into ready to use building products. It is expressed in megajoules per kilogram (Mj/kg). The direct effect of the amount of energy being used to convert the raw material into a usable product reflects in the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. If you also consider the amount of carbon dioxide being stored during the manufacture of timber the benefits of timber become considerable.
Finishes
BTDW has a long standing relationship with Sikkens woodcare products. We seal all our products using a Sikkens WP560 water-borne translucent basecoat. Sikkens are committed to delivering Best Value products that provide the maximum benefit for the least environmental and economic cost. Best value is a concept that recognizes the importance of the future cost in;
- Use
- Environmental cost
- Purchase
- Disposal
These factors are assessed over the whole life cycle of the product to enable a genuine environmental and economic cost to be considered and provide genuine Best Value.
Warranty
At BTDW all the products we manufacture are produced in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards (AS1288 2006 & AS2047 2014). All products are covered by a seven year industry warranty.
