The product
Stairs and balustrades are made of solid wood. The main woods used are spruce, birch, beech, oak, ash and maple. Replanting is guaranteed with all species.
Manufacture
The products are manufactured to a high technical standard incorporating a long tradition of quality workmanship. he wood waste arising from manufacture is recovered to provide energy for our production. he emissions that occur come from dust and smoke from the solid fuel plant. No solvents are used as we use UV-hardening in ATAB-Trappan’s EcoFinish™ production system.
Use
The stairs are used in homes and in public spaces. . .
Recycling
Energy recovery – As ATAB-Trappan’s stairs are made entirely of wood, 100 % of the material can be recovered as energy.
Landfill – Wood is a biological material that is gradually broken down in nature by the microorganisms that naturally occur in a balanced ecosystem.
