It all starts with this...

Forestry in Finland is different, forests cover 75% of the land area of Finland - 61% of which is privately owned. Management of this resource dates back to 1920 and today forests are a renewable resource as well as being a source of prosperity and mental well-being.

Forest growth is roughly 110 million cubic metres annually, harvesting accounts for around 70 million cubic metres each year and means that stocks grow in surplus year after year.

Around 13% of the forests are protected or under restricted use the highest such area in Europe, helping to maintain biodiversity and off-setting climate change by sequestering carbon capture.

The presence of large predators such as Brown bears and wolves, indicators of a balanced and diverse wilderness.

...and is transformed into this

Laminated Timber - after the initial felling and drying, the process sees selected sections of the heartwood machined and then glued under pressure, this method was developed in Finland over 30 years ago - it delivers an enormous range of benefits, including:

enhanced weatherability
greater dynamic stability and strength
higher insulation values
reduced and limited cracking
non-toxic manufacturing process
waste used elsewhere in the production process or in secondary products.

As a highly engineered product laminated timber logs guarantee high levels of consistency in the build process with the prospect of life spans well in excess of 100 years.

Weather Resistant - Naturally

Timber log buildings have existed since man first settled, the oldest existing timber buildings in Finland are over 400 years old.

Low-Energy - Eco Friendly

Timber is inherently energy efficient due to its natural insulation and lower embodied energy compared to concrete and steel for example.

Breathable - Healthy Buildings

Timber "breathes" by allowing moisture vapour to absorbed and released, helping to regulate humidity levels internally, creating a healthier environment.

Supply - Exceeds Demand

Annual forest growth in Finland is approx. 110 million cubic meters, whereas the annual logging volume is approximately 60 to 75 million cubic meters.
