Climate protection with wood


The use of wood as a building material helps to reduce the greenhouse gas footprint of the emissions-intensive construction sector. In the manufacture of doors and frames, we deliberately use wood, a natural, regionally available and renewable raw material.


Growth and CO₂ binding

As it grows, wood absorbsCO2 from the atmosphere and binds it in its biomass. Between 0.7 and 0.9 tons ofCO2 per cubic metre of wood are stored in this way.


Timber harvesting and reforestation

In responsible forestry, as many trees are felled as are planted, which ensures the long-term security of our forests. As they grow, young trees have an even greater capacity to storeCO2 than old trees.


Product and CO₂ storage

As long as the wood product exists, the storedCO2 remains bound.

Well-being

Wood in interiors contributes to a healthy indoor climate and can have a calming effect.


Certifications

The sustainable use of forests and wood as a raw material requires responsible management and procurement methods. To ensure this, we and various other companies within the Arbonia Group have obtained FSC® and PEFC certification. Climate change and its consequences, such as extreme weather events and pest infestations, have a negative impact on forests, which is why their protection and care is of great importance.
