Post and Beam and Building GREEN! Why choose a timber frame? Natural timber is renewable, can be recycled, beautiful (not that beauty has anything to do with building green) and timber is sustainable.
We all know of an old post and beam barn that has fallen in or been taken down. Company's like James & Company and Trestlewood search out these old timbers for re-sale...and there is quite a market for it. Standing dead timber is also a wonderful resource.
LEED "Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design" Points are earned toward your building green project by purchasing local, as well as FSC "Forest Stewardship Council" Certified Foresters.
Vermont Timber Works is proud to offer these GREEN building options for you.
