In these times of climate change, it is becoming increasingly important to ensure a more ecologically responsible approach, even for natural, sustainable resources. Wood is the only raw material capable of storing CO2 and in combination with our energy-saving production processes, results in a particularly favourable carbon footprint for Metsä Wood products. Metsä Wood produces timber building systems exclusively from sustainably managed and...

Timber building systems — metsä wood

RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS DESIGNED TO MEET EVERY REQUIREMENT Housing quality has a key impact on the quality of living. Living in a pleasant and healthy environment and consuming a minimum amount of energy for heating and air-conditioning can only be achieved using one natural material – wood. However, the design of the external and the internal surfaces is left completely to the preferences of the client – everything is possible from timber cavity façade with coloured cladding to rendered walls. Modern construction using our systems ensures the property retains its value. Villa in Wannsee...

SUSTAINABLE AND ENERGY EFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION IS A STRONG TREND Energy-efficient and Passive houses save energy, hold their value and can be eligible for state subsidy.

Benefit from our experience in successful building projects This residential estate in Darmstadt, comprising of 22 terraced houses, shows the individual and attractive constructions possible with Metsä Wood building systems. Each house is individually customised to the requirements of its owner. During the design process full advantage was taken of the material, construction and system benefits. Slim partition walls, with high-acoustic insulation, ensure quietness between the individual units and maintain privacy, which is so often lacking in terraced houses. This construction project is...

Commercial and industrial buildings Minimal construction time together with aesthetic freedom Regardless of the type of industrial property being planned and built, achieving optimal efficiency in terms of the purpose of the building, construction time and cost are particularly critical. Metsä Wood Building Systems fundamentally differ from the usual grid systems. Your construction, therefore, benefits from the design flexibility applied to the shape, size and structure of each individual component. The high level of prefabrication means very short construction periods can be included in...
