Madawaska Doors are committed to the environment. Wood is a renewable, reusable, recyclable and biodegradable source. Non-wood products require far more energy to manufacture than wood.
The supplies of ores and petroleum for the production of metal and plastic are finite and cause pollution of the air and water, contributing to global warming. One pound of wood grown in a vigorous younger forest removes 1.47 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and replaces it with 1.07 pounds of life-sustaining oxygen.
Wood is also the best insulator of all structural building materials with millions of tiny air cells trapped within its cellular structure providing a barrier against the heat and cold. An inch of wood is 15 times as efficient an insulator as concrete, 400 times as efficient as steel and 1770 times as efficient as aluminium. Homes built from wood require far less energy to heat and cool, thus conserving fossil fuels and coal.
In a very real sense, wood products are the most environmentally responsible building material available. In addition, their manufacturing facility gathers all saw dust made from their equipment into a silo where a machine compresses the saw dust into firewood briquettes. These firewood briquettes are used to heat the manufacturing facility.
Craftsmanship:
Madawaska Doors are built from 100% solid wood using traditional craftsmanship.
