New figures released show that timber building products are at an all time high!
Results from Timber Trade Federation members show that provisional totals for 2016 show an import volume of 9.8 million cubic metres of the main timber and panel products. This total is likely to increase slightly as final figures become available, the federation said, but is currently 5% higher than in 2015.

This is great news for the sustainable building industry showing that attitudes towards building in timber are changing as more people choose to use wood rather than the traditional UK style of bricks and motor.
Spacetwo are part of those figures as we continue to import the highest quality German wooden buildings into the UK. Germany is one of the countries at the forefront of timber construction leading the way in innovation and design and we are proud to be part of such a sustainable and growing industry within the UK.
