Timber and timber usage

Wood is the most important renewable raw material; it can be used for a wide variety of purposes, as a building material or fuel, and has a number of advantages over non-regenerative raw materials.

Wood can be used reliably and cheaply in the construction sector and also allows attractive and creative applications in interior design and furniture production. The possibilities are almost unlimited and range from healthy children's toys, modern kitchen fittings and resistant wooden flooring through to energy-efficient timber houses or innovative hall roof constructions.

Products and structures of timber are environment-friendly, help protect the climate as carbon stores and are recyclable. Consumers particularly appreciate the positive image of wood. Wood appeals to all of the senses, it improves the climate for living, health at home and quality of life. Wood is the material of the future – it combines life and sustainability.
