Home from a renewable natural resource

Wood is a renewable natural resource. As the tree grows, it binds carbon dioxide which is then stored in the walls of a Honka® massive wood house for centuries. At the same time, a new forest absorbs even more carbon, which enables the future generations to enjoy fresh air. Honka® construction is a natural and ecologically sound choice. It is a true ecological act in the battle against global warming.

A part of sustainable development

In Finland, there are significantly more natural forests growing than there are those that are cut down. Honka is committed to the certification of Finnish forests and to sustainable forest economy – wood is not bought from areas that are a part of a conservation program.

Only carefully selected good-quality pine and spruce is used as raw material for our Honka® log houses. Our wood purchasing area is the most ideal growth area for high-quality pine. Our Finnish factories are also located in the same area. This way, wood transportation distances remain short, and the environmental load remains small.

Ecological choice – Your choice

Wood is undeniably more ecological as a building material. A Honka log home absorbs carbon from the atmosphere for many centuries. In addition, its production uses less energy than the production of other building materials. The energy consumption of the industrial production of massive wood is only approximately 50% of the energy required by cement production, and approximately 20% of the energy required by brick production.
