WHY
WOOD?
Parquet fights
the climate change.
The ecological advantages of real wood as a floor are undeniable. Far less energy is used in the extraction, processing and disposal of wood than with any other building material. As the popularity of real wood floors is increasing, so has the commitment to growing wood. More trees are currently being planted than harvested.
The more
trees we
use, the
we also plant more.
Virtually all of the wood we use comes from sustainably managed European forests. “Harvesting” creates space for new growth. For every tree felled, we plant two young trees.
Parquet corresponds
the concept of
circular economy
Wood is fully recyclable. It can be used and reused, recycled and finally converted into bioenergy. In terms of volume and economy, this is not possible with any other material.
So much better
as carbon hungry
alternatives
The production and processing of wood is extremely energy-efficient, so that wood products have an extremely favorable CO2 balance. In addition, wood can often be used as a substitute for materials such as steel, aluminium, concrete or plastics, which require much greater amounts of energy to produce.
Parquet
reduced
Greenhouse gases
The “carbon store” or “energy saving effect” of wood products plays a significant role in reducing greenhouse gases. The increasing use of wood products leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
