Sustainability at the Heart of Thermowood® Ayous: A Green Choice for Ceilings, Walls, and Rainscreens
At Lumber Plus, we don’t just talk about sustainability; it’s at the core of everything we do. Our manufacturing process is all about being eco-friendly. We use a completely natural method for thermal modification, powered by Novawood Technology, using only heat and steam. Unlike some other thermally modified woods that depend on harmful toxins and chemicals, our approach is focused on sustainability. By sticking to heat and steam, we achieve outstanding results without sacrificing environmental integrity.
Wood as a Solution in Combating Climate Change:
Wood isn’t just a building material; it’s a key player in the fight against climate change. In a world where a significant chunk of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption comes from construction, choosing sustainable materials is absolutely critical. Concrete and steel, the go-to materials in construction, are major culprits, being both energy-intensive and non-renewable, leaving behind a hefty carbon footprint. On the flip side, wood is a renewable resource that offers a host of environmental benefits:
Renewability and Minimal Waste:
when we make timber products, we use every bit of the material, leaving no waste behind. It’s all about moving towards a circular economy model.
Smaller Ecological Footprint:
Compared to concrete and steel, wood has a much smaller ecological footprint.
Carbon Sequestration:
Building a 20,000-square-meter structure with wood instead of other materials is like taking almost a thousand cars off the road for a whole year.
Thermowood® Ayous: not just an awarded premium wood product
It’s a green choice that really shows our dedication to taking care of the environment. From the way we make it using natural methods to how it helps fight climate change, Thermowood® Ayous proves just how powerful sustainable innovation can be in construction.
