Environmental Timber Engineering Policy:

At DTE, we are committed to assessing the environmental impact of our methods of manufacture and materials used for all of our business activities. We look to use certified timber in all of our products and reduce the environmental impact of construction wherever possible.

We aim to show that our goods are produced in an environmentally responsible manner. To do this and respond to our customers' needs and expectations, we keep sight of the wide range of raw materials; production processes and countries of operation in producing our goods.

We recognise that timber, as a building material, is a truly renewable resource when properly managed, so fully endorse the requirements of our PEFC chain of custody scheme, to ensure that where possible our timber is legally and sustainably sourced.

Sustainably Sourced Timber:

Certified timber is one of the most environmentally sound standard building materials available, and can significantly reduce the environmental impact of construction - particularly when compared to other building products.

Wood also has the best thermal insulation properties of any mainstream construction material, a major bonus when aiming for warmth and efficiency.
