Made From Wood
Responsibly sourced wood is a great choice as a building material. Not only does it help tackle climate change due to its ability to store carbon and its low embodied energy, but it is a great thermal insulator, easy to use, durable, renewable and recyclable.
It is also produces beautiful, aesthetically pleasing results. It can be used to make items as varied as iPad cases and surfboards to homes and multi-story office blocks. To demonstrate its wide range of uses, looks and feels we have drawn together a range of case studies that showcase the many products built from wood.
Have a look at the following examples of buildings within Australia and across the world that have used wood in their construction.
Australian examples
Responsibly harvested wood is becoming an increasingly common building material in Australia - even in the absence of the kinds of building requirements or government policies that exist in other countries. In Australia there is a 10 storey wooden building planned for construction. Others have already been built. Have a read to learn more about how easy it is to build with wood.
International examples
There are many international examples which demonstrate ways of using wood. Some governments around the world have implemented policies that encourage greater use of forest products. Have a look at what the rest of the world has already achieved.
Other uses of wood
In addition to buildings wood, can also be used for more everyday items such as iPad cases, expresso makers or bicycles.
