Premium quality from BioMaderas - what does that mean?
The premium quality sets the highest standard for the quality of the wood, but also for its social and ecological sustainability:
| ✓ | Highest Quality in processing and careful manual sorting save resources, since no waste has to be planned. Not every irregularity is sorted out, but every plank can be used. |
| ✓ | The wood has a high resistance and durability so that the construction work is durable and material-friendly. |
| ✓ | Sustainable forest management is promoted so that the displacement of the forest by agriculture is stopped. |
| ✓ | social standards in forest and production are at least at fair trade level. |
| ✓ | transport takes place carbon neutral about certificate trading and reforestation projects. |
Despite the high quality standard, the material wood has natural properties that distinguish it from industrially manufactured products. These include: ✗ coloring ✗ grain ✗ swelling, shrinking and warping ✗ cracking. If you are aware of these typical wood properties, you will have a lot of fun with your wooden terrace.

Finger-jointed terrace wood
Finger-jointing is a tried-and-tested wood connection in timber construction, through which individual pieces of solid wood are put together to form a longer piece of decking wood. Wedge-shaped prongs on the ends of the pieces of wood interlock and are weatherproof glued together. This can be seen on the surface of the plank, but fades into the background with weathering and the formation of the patina.
Finger-jointing offers various advantages: the wood is less prone to warping and the tree trunk can be used more efficiently, which makes the product particularly sustainable and usually also cheaper.
