At Norscot, we are passionate about manufacturing high-quality, sustainable homes that stand the test of time. That’s why we are proud to support the Time for Timber initiative, a movement that champions the use of timber in construction to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmentally responsible building practices.
Why Timber Matters
Timber is one of the most sustainable building materials available. It absorbs CO2 as it grows, and when used in construction, it locks away that carbon, helping to reduce the overall carbon footprint of buildings. The Time for Timber campaign highlights the crucial role timber can play in achieving the UK’s net-zero emissions target by 2050, a mission that we fully support.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
As a leading manufacturer of timber frame homes, we have always prioritised sustainability in our designs and processes. Timber frame construction not only provides superior insulation and energy efficiency but also minimises the environmental impact compared to traditional building materials like steel and concrete.
By supporting Time for Timber, we’re reinforcing our commitment to:
- Reducing carbon emissions: Timber construction can reduce a building’s carbon footprint by up to 70%.
- Sourcing responsibly: All our timber is sustainably sourced from certified forests, ensuring we support forestry practices that protect biodiversity and natural habitats.
- Innovating for the future: We continuously explore new methods and technologies to make timber construction even more energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
Why We Support Time for Timber
The UK construction industry is at a crossroads. As the demand for housing grows, so does the need for sustainable building solutions. The Time for Timber initiative is about more than just using timber—it’s about creating a future where the construction industry contributes positively to the environment, ensuring that the homes we build today leave a greener legacy for future generations.
At Norscot Kit Homes, we believe that timber is the key to building that future. By supporting this initiative, we are actively participating in the movement to make timber a central material in the UK’s sustainable construction efforts.
