Interior
Norway Spruce : Norway Spruce trees are found north of the 57th parallel, where inherent slow growth rates provide a higher than average fibre density and result in optimal resistance to shock. Its homogeneous structure delights with its magnificent sepia colouring.
 Exterior
Red Cedar: Red Cedar is a noble species, traditionally found in the forests of Canada and the United States. It offers excellent-quality dimensional stability, is highly-resistant and easy to use; it contains natural preservation oils and it exceeds the requirements set out in fire hazard regulations. Its wood is coloured with intensely beautiful red tones.
Larch: A local species, growing profusely in the Dordogne region, thus requiring very little transport. It has extremely high resin content and is optimally resistant to drought, to bad weather and to shocks. Its wood is rot-proof, highly durable and aesthetically pleasing. Its beautiful honey colouring blends to perfection with any surrounding landscape.
These two species are natural, meaning that they have inherent mechanical qualities and do not necessarily require any particular wood treatment.
Maritime Pine: A local wood (extremely widespread in the Landes region), very well adapted to its host environment. It is hardy, durable, easily impregnated, aesthetically pleasing and convivial.
This species is treated with the autoclave system; a controlled vacuum and pressure process impregnates the sapwood with non-toxic preservative agents which are environmentally friendly.
The autoclave treatment, which has been used for many years, is recognized as an extremely efficient way of preserving impregnable species against insects, rot and decay, fungus and termites.
It guarantees that your wood will last through time.
This treatment gives the wood a lime-blossom colouring, which may be kept, or you may choose to paint the wood another colour.
Whatever the species: natural or treated by autoclave, it will take on a light, homogenous greyish tint over the years.
Outdoor Terrace
Ipe Exotic Wood: It is one of the hardest woods existing. Its unique density gives it a natural rot-proofness and the fineness of its wood-grain makes it almost totally water-impermeable: Ipe wood belongs to the risk class 4. It grows in Central and Southern America. Its range of tan to brown tones brings a sense of warmth to your surroundings.
Acacia: A fast-growing species that grows everywhere and is very common all over France. Known for its excellent quality and durability, it easily replaces tropical woods. Its clear-honey colour is charming and very much appreciated. Its tints range from yellows to browns.
Robinia: Commonly known as “false acacia’, the Robinia is a species of North America. It is naturally highly-resistant to rot and decay and to insects. The Robinia is the only European species belonging to the resistance class 1 (in accordance with the DIN EN 350-2 standards). Robinia wood can therefore be used, without impregnation, as a surface wood and is a good alternative to exotic woods. It is increasingly used for building and manufacturing top-of-the-range products.
