Preparing Properties for a Greener Tomorrow

As someone looking to improve a property before you sell or rent it out, you have to not only to create a functional structure that meets current needs but also one that looks ahead to the needs of years to come. This requires forward-thinking solutions that prioritise eco-friendliness and energy efficiency to ensure your properties stand the test of time and adapt to future demands. 

Oak Frames Direct’s wooden garages are ideal for incorporating into these plans, both because of our expertise and because we allow you the opportunity to make your ideas a reality even after the garage has been installed.

Our Sustainable Materials

We prioritise sustainability in our material selection. We get green oak and Douglas-fir from one responsibly managed forest source in France, which we have worked with for many years to obtain our inventory. This site ensures and maintains the sustainability of its trees by planting three more for every tree felled for our work. 

All trees we use are cultivated for strength and straightness, allowing for maximum material usage and minimal waste. 90-95% of the wood we receive will be used in our products, with the remaining 5-10% being recycled.

WE MANUFACTURE AND DELIVER

Our Precision Craftsmanship

Precision craftsmanship plays a pivotal role in maintaining energy efficiency in our wooden garages. The meticulous attention to detail and perfectly accurate machinery that we use ensure the frames are built to exacting standards, leaving no room for gaps or inconsistencies that might allow cold air to infiltrate your building. This both enhances structural integrity and contributes to the energy efficiency of a build when garage doors are added to a design to make it closed.

When a garage design is closed off using a pair of timber doors, you might also consider adding insulation – which is one of our optional extras – to your order. This helps to protect the garage against invading moisture but also helps it retain heat if you plan on installing a heater of any kind.
