Bereco Paint and Stain Finish Information
How to maintain the finish of your new timber windows and doors
After the installation of your Bereco products, maintaining the weather resistance and water repellent properties of the coating is very important to keep your windows looking new and performing for years to come
What is the difference between finger jointed and clear timber
Finger jointed timber is used on Redwood products with a painted finish. This is a cost effective option and joints in the timber cannot be seen through the paint. Clear timber is used on all Hardwood products and on Redwood products with a stained finish. Clear faced timber ensures no grain change is visible through finger joints
What is engineered multi-layered timber?
Engineered or multi-layered timber is used throughout our ranges and products. Opposing grain direction, combined with removal of the natural defects inherent in timber such as knots and shakes help add significant strength to product sections. Safe in the knowledge no defects are located around critical locations, engineered timber is also key to reducing the effects of warp and twist ensuring longevity and performance
What type of wood to do you?
Our Redwood Windows and Doors are manufactured using defect free, laminated Scandinavian Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris) with either a clear or finger jointed surface. C
European Redwood
European Redwood is an evergreen, coniferous tree that grows to around 30 meters in height and around 1 meter in diameter. Sourced from Northern Europe, at Bereco we love European Redwood for many reasons including
Redwood forests are remarkable carbon storage units
Redwood moisture uptake compared to other species is relatively low, making the wood less prone to dimensional change and movement – a necessity for timber windows and doors
The natural tannins that give European Redwood its distinctive colouring also give it a natural resistance to insects and decay, so gone are the days of rotting timber windows
Slow growing, we harvest the wood between 90 and 130 years of age. This gives the wood tight growth rings and a high heartwood content helping to prevent cracks and shakes appearing in the timber

European Redwood is lighter than most other species of wood with a density of around 500kgm3, whereas Oak is around 700kgm3 for its density. This makes Redwood an extremely durable and stable wood perfect for wooden windows and doors
Growing our trees
Foresters harvest timber in accordance with forest management plans. A properly managed forest can take up to 130 years before it’s ready for felling and harvesting. Most well managed forests will follow a management plan like the one below
Years 1-3: Soil preparation and planting of saplings
Years 4-5: Regeneration inspection
Years 10-20: Thinning
Years 20-30: Surveying the young forest
Years 30-60: Thinning
Years 60-80: Fertilising
Years 80-90: Forest inventory and road construction
Years 90-130: Harvesting and felling

Protecting our forest
When it comes to the process of harvesting, it’s no longer a case of heading into the forest and cutting down trees with an axe or even a chainsaw. Ask people to tell you how it’s done and your brain will conjure up images just like this but the process has become much more efficient considerate of the nature of the area being felled.
Trees can now be harvested easily with a machine called a feller buncher which allows one person to cut down four trees every minute.
Not only is the feller buncher ideal in terms of economies of scale for felling forest areas but the machine also removes the non-usable limbs from the trunks. By laying these on the forest floor, they protect the all-important soil from being damaged by the machines weight which is invaluable to the ecosystem of the forest.
Trees are not pulled from the roots, instead stumps are left to ensure the vital underground root system stays healthy and guarantees the longevity of the forest. Wildlife corridors and transition areas are always left in areas of harvesting. This allows any wildlife to move easily and discretely through areas of felling migrating to greener pastures in the standing forest
