Our Policy

Swift Joinery Manufacturers Limited is committed to protecting our fragile environment around the world and, as such, endeavours to use environmentally friendly products. All our timber is sourced from properly managed forests, which have continuous replanting programmes. Timber is our only natural renewable building product (uPVC, aluminium, steel and concrete production involves the use of finite resources).

To grow a tonne of wood it has been calculated that a tree uses 55 kilos of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas, and gives off 40 kilos of oxygen. In one year a tree consumes 9.1 kilos of carbon dioxide, the amount emitted by a car during an 11,500-mile trip, and exhales enough oxygen to keep a family of four breathing for a year. If we use more timber, the greenhouse effect would be lessened.

Swift Joinery are committed to excellent and eco-friendly design

A double glazed timber window is nearly 10% more efficient than the same window made of uPVC and over 15% more efficient than aluminium. Timber is also easily repaired and disposed of.
