Wood all the way
Founded in 1993, Barrus has become a leading manufacturer of glued and laminated timber components in Europe. The company’s choice of solid wood for its doors and windows has always been easy and obvious, explains Glinvad. “Wood is more energy efficient than PVC and aluminium. It has a supreme aesthetic look and feel, which allows everyone to experience luxury while, at same time, it helps to reduce global warming.” He believes that wood has a “huge role” to play in saving the planet. “Wood is outstanding in comparison to any other material because it absorbs and sequesters the CO2 emissions from several other industries.” Barrus is big fan of Nordic timber because, as Glinvad notes, Nordic forests are very well managed by their owners and protected by law. “For decades, the Nordic countries have managed the forest as a sustainable resource. Nordic wood is the best guarantee the consumer can get for a sustainable raw material.” •
