Wood reduces environmental impact:
Wood products need the least amount of energy to manufacture and that this process has the lowest impact on air and water quality. Using wood can offset climate change since trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow and the resulting products continue to store much of this carbon for decades or even centuries.
Wood itself is considered to be hypoallergenic: The smooth surface are easy to clean and prevent the build-up of particles that are common in soft finisheslike carpet.
Wood controls humidity: Use of wood products can improve indoor air quality by moderating humidity. Acting like a sponge, the wood absorbs or releases moisture in order to maintain equilibrium with the adjacent air.
Wood heals: Among the results, an increasing number of healthcare facilities are making use of natural daylight, views of nature, and exposed wood to create a warm, natural aesthetic that supports their healing objectives. These same techniques are also being used in schools and offices to improve performance, productivity, and occupant well-being.
