Are oak frame houses more flammable than other constructions?

The Great Fire of London did not do timber any favours in the public eye. Often blamed on the abundance of wood in the city, it aligns with the general opinion that timber burns quickly and is not always a fire-safe option for a building. But would you believe us if we told you that that was a myth? Let’s take a look.

What’s the difference between fresh sawn, air dried and kiln dried wood?

In the world of timber, there exists a lot of jargon. To cut through the confusion and make sure everybody chooses the right wood for their construction projects, our team at EcoChoice likes to keep things simple. In this guide, we will be looking at the difference between air-dried, kiln-dried and fresh-sawn wood so that you know which would suit your needs.

How will climate change affect timber quality?

Climate change is not a prediction, it is a current certainty. We are already seeing changes to our planet as the world warms and our greenhouse gases alter the atmosphere, but there are many more still to be seen. One such change will be to the trees that provide us with timber, which could find its characteristics altered by the rising temperatures and harsher conditions of the planet we share.
