Glue Laminated
Timber Structure
The warm look of glue laminated
wood creates a cozy atmosphere, with no chemical
wood preservatives used is a healthy choice. Building
with glue laminated wood adds to the healthy home
environment by allowing enough space to be had for
all creative fantasy. In combination with other
building materials, such as glass, porcelain tiles,
Redab are creating a design of occupiers dreams.
Thanks to a wide selection of pollutant-free waxes,
glazes and paints, a traditional, natural, elegant
or modern atmosphere is to be created.
Using comparable data
from other projects it is estimated approximately
20% of annual carbon emissions are saved by changing
the construction materials from traditional steel/concrete
to sustainable timber. Europe - Scandinavia have
tradition to replant immediately after taking
down timber from the forest.
