Cape Cod, produced from Canadian lodgepole pine, has always been sourced from sustainably managed forests, but has only recently received FSC accreditation.

The product is hugely popular in the UK where sales in 2006 have already increased by 40% year on year.

“FSC certification for Cape Cod means that we can supply all our cladding products to the same high level of sustainability,” said John Vincent, chairman of Vincent Timber.
