Timber

It’s only right that every piece of timber we use is certified and has Full Chain of Custody accreditation – making it the most sustainable way to manufacture windows and doors.

Quality, sustainable timber windows and doors

All RTT’s doors and windows are made from close-grained, knot-free laminated redwood, solid or laminated clear-faced oak from Northern Europe and the Baltics, or the best quality hardwood. Slow-growing redwood and oak, and slower-growing hardwoods, are renowned for their long-term, trouble-free performance.

Laminated redwoods, oaks, and hardwoods are engineered to produce stable, durable, long life materials which are ideal for windows and doors.

Full Chain of Custody reassurance

The sustainable raw material timber we put in is the same sustainable timber as in the finished product – no materials are introduced or substituted in the manufacturing process. Known as a Full Chain of Custody, our customers can have the confidence that:

  • Every product is sustainable and fully-certified. With planned maintenance, and due care and attention, they will last the lifetime of a modern building.
  • We use timber from managed forests with Full Chain of Custody certified to FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) and PEFC™ (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest) standards.
  • Certification, based on regular audits of our manufacturing processes and systems, assures our customers of the complete traceability of our products through production and back to the managed forests they come from.

Why timber?

A natural material with inherent strength and great beauty, timber lends itself to multiple uses in the construction of windows and doors. It’s easy to maintain and repair, and can be readily recycled at the end of a long and useful life. Timber is also the only building material with a positive impact on the environment.

Caring for our environment

It is vital that we manage our forests for future generations. This means planting more trees than are used to meet tomorrow’s needs for production. Managed forests avoid deforestation and maintain a sustainable supply.

Timber processing is low in energy consumption and has no toxic side effects. We strive to continually improve our processes and products to meet or exceed all relevant environmental regulations.
