Wood – the renewable material with a future

As a renewable natural building material, wood makes a major contribution to the environment. With the lowest production energy requirement, wood optimally combines ecological, building biology and economic advantages.

Types of wood and qualities – our raw materials at a glance

The quality of Karibu products begins with the careful selection of the right material . We use uniformly sorted Spruce and aspen woods from the forests of Northern Europe. In short summers and long, cold winters the wood grows extremely slowly. This results in very narrow growth rings, which give the wood particularly hard and resistant properties.

Nordic spruce – slow growth for high material density

For our garden sheds we use solid spruce wood, which is harsh climate of Scandinavia has grown. The Nordic spruce is particularly flexible and a highly renewable raw material with ideal properties for garden house construction. Especially in the colder regions, spruce wood becomes a Hard and stable type of wood with dense growth rings . Compared to native spruces, the Nordic spruce grows particularly slowly due to the short growing season and the long winter period. The following applies to softwoods: the less wide the individual annual rings are, the harder and more resistant the wood is. At the same time, the wood of the spruce trees from the far north has a Very good elasticity . In contrast to other conifers, Nordic spruce wood absorbs only a small amount of water and is therefore good for outdoor use suitable. To protect the wood from the weather for a long time, we recommend our coloured garden sheds or subsequent wood protection. In addition, the Nordic spruce is less rich in resins.

KDI boiler pressure impregnation - effective wood protection

We use the modern process of pressure impregnation for our woods. It is a Effective and ecologically sound method for wood protection . Liquefied impregnating salts are pressed into the wood under pressure and bond with the wood. This means that the salts cannot be washed out later, which makes a long-term protection of the wood and beyond does not pollute the environment . Boiler pressure impregnation effectively prevents the following damage:

• Insect infestation
• Rot fungi
• Mold infestation
• Blue stain and mold

This means that the wood retains its stability for a long time.

In our online shop you will find Tool and garden sheds, garden saunas and carports made of high-quality woods. Nordic spruce is excellent for outdoor use. The Proximity to the growing areas makes the natural raw material Particularly ecologically valuable . With our Well thought-out constructions it is also possible for less experienced do-it-yourselfers to use the Garden house to build yourself .
