In addition to having character and being calming, timber houses from De Backer are also environmentally friendly. Both during the production (trees) and processing (no unprocessable waste) of wood the environment is protected.
De Backer does not use any tropical wood from endangered rainforests but rather Scandinavian fir, for which strict, well thought-out forest management applies. For each tree that is felled another one is planted. The energy required for timber construction is between 2 1/2 and 4 times less than for other construction processes.
In addition, the use of timber does not require the huge amount of water necessary to build and plaster traditional brick houses. And once the house has been built, the good insulation means that savings can be made on burning environmentally harmful fossil fuels for heating purposes.
So when you opt for a timber house, you opt for nature. You not only live in among nature, you also help preserve it!
