Sustainability

Sustainability Is In Our Roots

Our founder, Bob Davis, was a pioneer and trendsetter for using wood sustainably. One of the initial advocates of using reclaimed wood for restoration millwork, he laid the foundational principles Delta Millworks still follows to this day.  At Delta, we offer some of the most sustainable woods on the planet.

We are committed to the future of wood.

Delta Millworks leads the industry by using the best technologies in wood modification and tree farming practices. We believe fervently in the future of wood, preserving the forests of our world, and providing pristine products to our clients.

No tropical hardwoods

Sustainably Sourced

Tropical hardwoods (specifically, Ipe), are popular for their performance in exterior applications, but are sourced from highly sensitive regions such as the Brazilian rainforest. Tree farming and modified woods, such as Accoya® have made a historical shift in the availability of products that can perform for decades, and cause no harm to the environment in the process.

Reclaim & Repurpose

Char beetle

Rescue & Reuse

Delta’s line of interior cladding products utilize dead-standing Beetle Kill pine trees from the Western U.S. and Canada. Once textured, burned, and stained, the finish options become extensive, and the natural “worm holes” in the wood only add to its distinctiveness.
