NATURE COMES FIRST

We at CWP want to participate in the protection of nature. All of our products are maid mainly from Finnish birch veneer, but other types of wood can also be coloured. Veneer used as a raw material for products is PEFC or FSC certied. The wood selected for the products comes from a veried source. The birch is sourced from sustainably managed forests. The materials and methods used for manufacturing through-dyed veneer are environmentally friendly. Materials and products made from through-dyed veneer can be used for replacing endangered wood types from rainforests or developing countries, such as the brown merbau or blackish wenge. Thanks to through-dyeing, wood can also be given the tone the customer needs in an ecological way. Customers can enjoy products made from through-dyed veneer for as long as possible. The colour penetrates through the entire thickness of the material, and the surface can be renewed by sanding without loss of colour. Through-dyed veneer allows for a longer Birch Beech Ash Oak Maple end product lifetime, thereby putting less of a burden on the environment.

WOOD IS THE MOST ECOLOGICAL Ecological and sustainable building creates wellbeing for generations to come.

WOOD STORES CARBON As it grows, wood binds carbon dioxide from the air. Products made from wood act as carbon storage as the carbon stays in the products throughout their lifecycle.

GENUINE, HEALTHY WOOD Wood is a natural material. It gives off heat and creates a softening effect in different kinds of spaces. Wood cut from wellmanaged forests brings tidings of joy from the forest to its beholder.
