Quality timbers from responsible suppliers

Forestry Stewardship Council

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organisation that brings people together to find solutions, which promote responsible stewardship of the world’s forests.

Paarhammer has been using FSC certified timbers – namely Malas from Papua New Guinea - as a timber option for environmentally aware customers for some time. Now Paarhammer itself has been certified for Chain of Custody as the first window manufacturer in Victoria.
Being certified shows that Paarhammer’s FSC products comply with the highest social and environmental standards on the market. Environmental and sustainability conscious consumers can now specify their new windows and doors to be FSC certified.
