HEALTH & THE ENVIRONMENT

Wood creates no environmental problems.  It improves the climate: gives off oxygen; absorbs carbon dioxide; increases air humidity; filters air; entails no health problems; and can be re-used when it has served its purpose.

Our skin breathes in order to keep us healthy - ideally, our clothes or 'second skin' should 'breathe' therefore we try to wear clothes made from natural materials - the same goes for our 'third skin', our home.

Therefore rather than lining the house with plastic vapour barriers and sealing us in, a log house breathes and allows air and moisture to pass gradually through its 'skin'.   Although the introduction of plastic vapour barriers and draughtproofing has come about from a need to conserve energy, there comes a point when it defeats the purpose of healthy living - causing probably many illnesses, particularly respiratory.

In passing through wood, air is filtered and purified because, like wool, wood has a detoxifying effect.

Wood even removes unpleasant odours quickly.

Timber as a building material uses less energy to produce and is stronger than many other materials.  It is completely recyclable and biodegradable at the end of its use.

Timber floors need little in the way of maintenance by chemicals for cleaning and electricity use for removing dust and dirt - they can be swept clean using brushes and mops the majority of the time.
