Choosing sustainable timber

Nine Zero is committed to promoting sustainability and eco-friendliness in construction through the use of sustainable timber. By opting for timber products in your building projects, you actively contribute to reducing operational energy over the lifespan of structures – whether that’s a heritage home or huge commercial building.

Our sustainable timber selection includes FSC-certified Engineered Redwood, Red Grandis, Abodo, and Acoya timber, ensuring that every window and door we produce not only stands the test of time, but also supports the environment.

Wood is the only naturally renewable mainstream building material, and we take our responsibility in sourcing it very seriously. By using FSC-certified suppliers, we are supporting global forestry conservation efforts, and ensuring our customers receive products made from materials that are as eco-friendly as they are exquisite.
