Wood is the ONLY building material that uses the sun’s energy to renew itself in a continuous sustainable cycle. Permanent Wood Foundations are definitely a Green way to build!

• Wood is a renewable resource and the use of PWF’s actually reduce the carbon footprint compared to concrete and block construction. • Pressure treatment of lumber and wood panel products greatly extends their service life, which helps conserve forest resources for future generations. • Renewable, sustainable grown forests make Permanent Wood Foundations an earth-friendly choice. • Wood Products take five times less energy to produce than an equivalent amount of cement. • After construction, wood allows you save on your energy bills. • Wood has a better R-Value than concrete. • Wood is an insulator while concrete creates thermal bridges that transfer heat and cold. • No need to run humidifiers constantly as a Wood Foundation basement stays dry and comfortable |

After looking at the overall life cycle of different products, wood framed buildings are far more environmentally friendly than homes constructed with concrete and metal and thus make wood the most sustainable building material and the perfect choice for all around living comfort!
