By selecting Kebony Character for the exterior cladding of several of the homes , Greencore Construction recognises the benefit of using sustainably certified materials . A global leader in the production of environmentally friendly wood , Kebony ’ s pioneering wood-processing technology sees sustainably sourced softwoods heated with furfuryl alcohol , an agricultural by-product , modifying it to maintain the same durable properties of industrial hardwoods minus the same contribution to the carbon footprint . Kebony wood is both cost-effective and visually attractive , retaining a natural aesthetic which is in keeping with the rural location and surrounding wildlife .
" The high-performance homes provide comfortable , low carbon living as a result of the Biond system selected by Greencore Construction ."
