Honouring Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Saturday, June 21, 2025.

We are kicking off Sustainability Week in the USA!

An interesting look at the critical, but often under-appreciated part of timber frames – the deck roof!

In time and time again, real-world testing in Europe, Canada, and Australia show that in fires, large-section mass timbers maintain their design strength, thanks to how wood reacts to fire.

It’s hard to believe that half a millimeter could significantly improve our appreciation of a material. With a carefully chosen and applied stain or finish, the natural beauty of the wood can transform from nice to outstanding!

Today, let’s step back to April 22,1970, a pivotal moment when over 20 million Americans, alongside passionate Canadians, united for the first Earth Day.

Enjoy this read as we revisit the past, understand the present and shape a sustainable future.

On this day, we at Cornerstone Timberframes take a moment to honour the vital role that forests play in our world!

As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, those of us at Cornerstone Timberframes with Irish roots find joy in the celebration, joined by colleagues who delight in the festivities of green beer and lively music. This time of year evokes memories of Ireland’s renewal, from the first green shoots to farmers preparing their fields. St. Paddy’s Day, once a Celtic celebration of rebirth, symbolizes love and the renewal of friendship.

In our work with timber, this season prompts us to reflect on the health of the environments crucial to our trade. In North America, St. Patrick’s Day marks a pivotal time for foresters monitoring snowpack and soil moisture amid rising drought conditions exacerbated by climate change. With increasing wildfires in regions like BC and California, the challenges are greater than ever.

Join us as we explore these green thoughts and the pressing environmental issues at hand.

At Cornerstone Timberframes, we embrace the power of natural elements in our designs, where wood and natural light are integral to creating beautifully crafted environments.

As we advance in our journey of mass timber construction, we are eager to delve into the important impact that window walls have on boosting the beauty, sustainability, and functionality of our projects.

To we celebrate International Day of Forests and our Commitment to Sustainable Solutions!
