Wood contributes to thermal efficiency. With a wooden house, heat loss is limited and energy efficiency is improved.
Wood absorbs carbon, at a value of one tonne of CO² per cubic metre of wood and releases the oxygen we need to live.
Wood is light, quick to implement, flexible and resilient. It is therefore the ideal material for construction. It is compatible with dry construction processes and therefore reduces construction times.
Wood blends perfectly into the landscape and allows great architectural freedom
Wood is a healthy material, it does not emit harmful gases and it regulates humidity in a room.

Wood is indeed a responsible and eco-friendly option. In a society where unrestrained consumption leads to the depletion of resources, wood is also a choice of the future for future generations.
