Learn the Green Benefits of TimberLuxe Doors
An increasing number of homeowners are now searching for environmentally friendly front doors that can balance performance, security, and environmental worth. The most popular choice at present is likely to be the composite door. ‘Composite’ is not a word we use lightly because the door in question from our TimberLuxe engineered timber range is far superior to an ordinary composite door.
So are TimberLuxe engineered timber composite doors eco-friendly? Let’s find out what makes TimberLuxe a top choice for homeowners who want a green, energy-efficient, and stylish makeover for their home.
What Makes TimberLuxe Composite Doors Eco-Friendly?
1. Sustainably Sourced Timber
Each TimberLuxe door starts with sustainably harvested timber from woodlands that are controlled to economic, social, and ecological standards. Better still, four new seedlings are planted for each felled tree, helping towards reforestation over the long term.
2. Carbon Storage with Kerto LVL Core
Within each TimberLuxe door is Metsä’s LVL Kerto, a timber that has been strengthened, boasts remarkable durability and, as a carbon sink, contains around 1 tonne of CO₂ per cubic metre. Its manufacture is carbon-negative, with more CO₂ being used than released, which reduces your home’s overall carbon footprint.
3. No Waste to Landfill
Sustainability is embedded in the production process. TimberLuxe door manufacturing waste to landfill is 0%, which is an optimal practice in waste reduction and the efficient use of resources.
Additionally, we have an extensive post-consumer waste program, whereby plastic, timber, metal, and glass removed from customers’ homes are recycled through trusted third-party partners.
Eco-Friendly Materials and Design Features
Recycled uPVC Moisture Barrier
The unique TimberLuxe moisture barrier system is made from recycled uPVC, giving a new life to plastic and stopping any destruction caused by moisture. This is an important feature to maximise your door’s lifespan as it protects the timber core of the door from moisture ingress.
Solid 48mm Timber Core for Maximum Insulation
Unlike most composite doors featuring a polyurethane or chipboard core, TimberLuxe has an engineered 48mm cross-laminated timber core, which is:
- 10% thicker than most others
- More resilient against heat loss
- Engineered for enhanced thermal performance and energy efficiency
Installation Matters: Performance and Sustainability
A high-quality installation is as vital as the quality of the door product itself. That’s why all of our tradespeople are directly employed (link to crsmith.co.uk/lorimer/craftsmanship/) by us and expertly trained to maintain our high standards and dedication to excellence on every single project. The Lorimer Fit Standard guarantees:
- A clean, professional finish
- Industry-leading insulation
- A finish that complements your home
Chief Executive of CR Smith, Kevin Eadie, rightly states,
“A window or door’s performance is only ever as good as its fitting.”
Environmental Impact of Choosing TimberLuxe Composite Doors
By choosing TimberLuxe, you’re not only investing in a high-performance door, but you’re also:
- Reducing your home’s energy consumption
- Supporting sustainable forestry
- Minimising waste
- Using doors made with recycled and recyclable materials
Our Impact So Far
To offset the timber used in the construction of a TimberLuxe door, four seedlings are planted. Since our launch of TimberLuxe engineered timber composite doors, we have contributed to over 6000 trees being planted.
