SUSTAINABILITY
IN WOOD
Wood is the green building material of choice, a commitment to sustainability. Join us in promoting green building practices that utilize sustainably sourced wood, while providing beauty and durability to your projects.
For thousands of years, wood has been a cornerstone of construction. Its environmental benefits far exceed those of other materials. Wood is biodegradable, an excellent insulator, and, most importantly, renewable. As we face the urgent challenge of climate change, the role of wood in sustainable building is more critical than ever.
Pritzker Prize laureate and architect Shigeru Ban states: “Steel, concrete—we are just consuming from a limited amount. Timber is the only renewable material.” By choosing wood, we are not just building; we are investing in a sustainable future.
THE POWER OF WOOD
IN CONSTRUCTION
SUSTAINABLE ADVANTAGES
OF USING WOOD
Building with wood is a powerful statement of commitment to sustainability. It reflects a choice for eco-friendly living and biophilic design, where each structure contributes positively to the environment. Wood is an ideal choice for modern builders who prioritize both aesthetics and sustainability.
01
BIODEGRADABLE
Unlike synthetic materials, wood is biodegradable, returning to the earth without harming the environment, thus contributing to a circular economy.
02
RENEWABLE
When sourced responsibly, wood is a renewable resource. Using sustainable wood can protect biodiversity and ensuring forests regeneration, so that the future generations can benefit from its beauty and utility.
RECYCLE & REPURPOSE

04
DURABLE & LONG LASTING
Wood can be replenished and repurposed over time. Recycled wood will be revived and crafted into brand new products. By this we are giving recycled wood a second chance and can help reducing waste. (e.g. Shipwood)
With proper maintenance and installation, wood can be a durable building material that lasts for decades, reducing the need for frequent replacements and the associated resource consumption.
RESPONSIBLY SOURCED
NATURAL WOOD
While wood offers numerous advantages, these benefits are only meaningful if our global forest reserves are managed responsibly.
The global timber pool is our advantage. Over the 20 years span, we maintained long standing relationships with our suppliers and have our strict Prima Excellence quality control system in place to preserve that consistency. We are proud to be part of the global trend towards sustainable practices. We carry certified wood that is compliant with international regulations, including but not limited to FSC™. This means that the timber is harvested in a way that maintains the ecological balance and supports forest regeneration.
Our FSC™ certification is not just a badge; it reflects our commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing.
CRAFTING A SUSTINABLE FUTURE, ONE TIMBER AT A TIME
SUSTAINABLE MATERIAL FOR GREEN BUILDING
Earn LEED credits with our sustainable wood solutions.
Wood is an excellent choice for green building, offering both aesthetic appeal and numerous environmental benefits. When incorporated into sustainable construction practices, wood can help projects to achieve LEED or BEAM Plus certification, the recognized symbols of sustainability and performance.
Projects can earn credits by using sustainably sourced wood, which promotes responsible forest management and conservation. The processing of wood use less energy than other building materials, making it a more environmentally-friendly choice. Additionally, wood also contributes to a healthier indoor environment by improving air quality and reducing the use of synthetic materials that may emit harmful VOCs.
BLEND SPACE WITH NATURE
Integrating wood for a biophilic and bioclimatic design
Wood is more than just a building material; it’s a bridge between nature and our living spaces. Its rich textures and warm hues invite the outdoors in, creating environments that nurture our well-being and foster a deep connection with nature. As a renewable resource, wood champions sustainability, enhancing energy efficiency through its insulation properties that keep indoor spaces cozy without relying heavily on artificial heating or cooling.
By incorporating natural wood materials, we are not only creating visually stunning spaces but also pave the way for eco-friendly, biophilic and bioclimatic architecture that resonate with health, comfort, and a harmonious relationship with the environment.
