Sustainability

Revered for its versatility, durability and aesthetic appeal, sustainably sourced hardwood timber is one of the most environmentally friendly construction materials.

At Acacia, our commitment to sustainability shapes everything we do—from our processes and design approach to the way we source our materials and transform them into stunning works of art.

Responsibly sourced Australian timber is a valuable renewable resource, able to be regrown and harvested with minimal environmental impact. Every cubic metre of hardwood sequesters approximately one tonne of carbon dioxide as it grows, helping reduce greenhouse gases and lowering the carbon footprint of your project. It also has an enviable lifespan, does not contain harmful chemicals, and requires minimal energy to process.

This means every piece we produce doesn’t just transform the building it becomes part of—it helps create a more sustainable future too.

Environmental Stewardship

Our sustainability credentials

Sustainability is the cornerstone of forward-thinking design and the building block for modern architectural legacies. We’ve spent years refining our products and processes, embedding sustainability throughout every stage.

Sustainably sourced

We prefer to source timber from suppliers certified under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Australian Forestry Standards Certifications (AFSC), contributing to better conservation and management of our planet’s natural resources.

Energy efficient

The superior insulation properties of custom-fit hardwood windows and doors offer natural thermal efficiency, stabilising indoor temperatures for significantly reduced energy use. Processing wood also requires far less energy than materials such as aluminium, steel or plastics.

Crafted to last

Timber offers exceptional durability and longevity when compared with other materials. When appropriately maintained, our premium craftsmanship, quality materials and durable finishes ensure Acacia doors and windows will last generations.

Reduced waste

Acacia’s advanced manufacturing technologies and design practices have been developed and refined to minimise production waste. And unlike synthetic materials, the timber in our products naturally biodegrades at the end of its long lifespan.

Boosting wellbeing: the biophilic benefits of timber

Time spent in nature is a powerful tonic for human health and wellbeing.

The warmth and aroma of wood is a key element in biophilic design, an approach to creating built environments that brings the outdoors in to deliver genuine benefits to occupants—from reduced stress levels and blood pressure to enhanced mental health, cognitive function and productivity.
