Description
Green Oak Framed Buildings
We are a New Forest based company specialising in the manufacture and
construction of green oak framed buildings. The company is named after
the Knightwood Oak, which at 450 years of age is widely believed to be
the oldest oak tree in the New Forest, Hampshire.
Traditional Oak Frames
Born out of a passion for working with wonderful oak, here at
Knightwood we maintain the standards of past craftsmen. Our specialist
carpenters have extensive experience in working with oak and creating
these timeless oak framed buildings, and they take great pride in their
art.
Green Oak
Oak-framed buildings are full of character and they have a beauty and
grace that compliments their strength and durability. They are also
environmentally friendly and by marrying traditional and modern
materials they can be made extremely energy efficient. Oak becomes
harder and stronger with age, ensuring the buildings longevity.
Craftsmen have been building with oak for centuries and these buildings
have stood the test of time.

Oak and the Environment Building
using green oak requires less energy than other forms of general
construction and unlike other timber green oak does not need to be
treated extensively with preservatives. An oak frame is also environmentally
friendly. A stand of growing oaks produces large amounts of oxygen and
when used to build an oak frame the carbon dioxide remains locked in,
thus reducing the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. When
mature trees are felled, young trees are planted to replace them and
the cycle starts again. |
