Engineered wood products

No construction material offers more environmental benefits than wood. Renewable, non-toxic, recyclable and bio-degradable, forests absorb CO². Making timber also uses a fraction of the energy needed for concrete, steel and aluminium – and Södra even generates renewable power as part of the process.

The cold Swedish climate and resulting slow tree growth creates stability and strength. Södra's spruce, for instance, can grow for 60-80 years before harvesting. It's this slow growth that gives you distinctive durability and a premium finish.

Despite being remarkably strong and durable, timber is lightweight, versatile and easy to handle and install. On average, a timber frame reduces construction time by around a third and typically results in a less-expensive building.
