PROCESS
High quality raw materials
Saga Wood's quality process begins with selecting the right quality raw material. To be able to deliver the desired final quality to our customers, it is important that the raw material meets the criteria we have defined for our various products. Wood is a natural product that always has natural shades and quality levels. Therefore, it is important for us that the raw material is processed and sorted so that it meets the given quality criteria.
Heat treatment
Saga Wood's heat treatment is based on a completely new technology, Termo 2.0. This treatment is gentler on the raw wood compared to other known processes, resulting in less waste and better quality. At the same time, energy consumption and process time are significantly reduced. Heat treatment increases the stability of the wood by up to 80% and reduces its ability to absorb moisture and water by up to 50%. These properties make heat-treated wood highly suitable for buildings with high requirements for stability and low moisture absorption.
The heat treatment also gives the wood a beautiful dark glow that over time patinates and becomesa beautiful gray if left untreated.
Surface treatment
Saga Wood products are sold as standard without surface treatment. Saga Wood thermo wood absorbs very little moisture, if a surface treatment is desired, such a treatment will always further reduce the moisture absorption.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability, care, and respect for nature are the foundation of our entire business and are an essential part of our DNA. Additionally, this is what sets us apart significantly from other manufacturers within the market for wood products.
Less C02
Our production is based on a combination processes and technologies that are both gentle on the tree and the environment. The production process itself has significantly reduced energy consumption. Because our wood comes from localyNorwegian forest, The transportation and the consumption of fossil fuels are reduced considerably compared to products that are transported from distant areas. All in all, our products are produced as a locally sourced product with significantly less environmental impact (CO2 footprint) compared to many other wood products on the market today.
