Timber adds warmth, texture and tactility to a home and works perfectly with a wide range of styles from timeless classic renovations to even the most contemporary new builds. Timber’s natural insulating properties make it one of the most energy efficient window and door frame available, ensuring year-round comfort.

The Botanica timber series is available in either cedar or meranti. Botanica is constructed from engineered timber to minimise the effects of sun and moisture on the product over time and both cedar and meranti are sustainably sourced, with a traceable chain of custody.

Western Red Cedar is renowned for its natural beauty and colour variation. It works well indoors and outdoors, and achieves any look from natural and rustic to clean and contemporary. It also resists warping, cupping, twisting, rot, and termites. To enhance cedar's grain and colour it is most commonly stained, however it is possible to achieve a painted finish. Western Red Cedar is an environmentally friendly choice, as it’s sourced from the world’s most sustainably managed forests.

Meranti is of medium hardness, is easily handled and machined, and is very reasonably priced. It has a uniformly straight grain with few variations and is resistant to warping, cupping and twisting. Meranti readily accepts both stain and paint finishes. Meranti is widely used for decorative applications, including windows, doors, moulding and skirtings. The Meranti timber used in the Botanica range is sustainably sourced with a traceable chain of custody.

Trend's commitment to producing sustainable, high-performing solutions for any home or building is evident through its range of Botanica timber windows and doors. Selecting only timber grown and harvested under the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) schemes demonstrates how we recognise the value of investing in sound sustainable materials sourcing.

Sustainably managed and sourced timber provides benefits beyond framing the outside to the inside of a building. During the growing of timber, carbon is absorbed and stored in the timber, unlike conventional manufactured windows and doors that emit carbon during their manufacture.

The management of growing and harvesting of timber provides jobs that can, in turn, provide economic benefits to the wider community where they are grown and have little to no adverse environmental implications when grown under the FSC or PEFC stewardship.
