Our raw material: wood.
Our raw material comes from Scots pine trees from Scandinavia, which slow growth produces wood with very fine rings and excellent homogeneity. Only the weather in these regions ensures this slow growth, which gives our raw material the quality we are looking for.
An ecological material
Our wood is taken from selected trees, it is heartwood, it is cleaned of sapwood, which means that it is naturally class 3 and does not require any chemical treatment. We also ensure that the trees come from sustainably managed forest. Wood naturally has a very positive ecological balance. It capture CO2 and locks it in during its growth to store it in the structures once cut.
A beautiful and warm material
Not only does wood meet our durability requirements, but above all it has qualities that endow it with its special strentgh, it is soft, noble and warm. It brings emotion to each of the projects we undertake. Its textural, colour and light effects make it an easthetic asset.
A highly resistant material
Our engineers and buyers have drawn up rigorous specifications, and each laminated plank has an identification number that is tracked throughout the production process. Before being processed, the wood must have a moisture content of between 10 an 14%. This ensures a good quality finish for the stain to be impregnated properly and to guarantee its durability in its future location.
In addition to its original characteristics making it insensitive to salt and not subject to rust, wood benefits from the HTE manufacturing process developed by Aubrilam, which protects it from its two traditional enemies, wood-eating fungi and woodworm.
