Why northern wood?
A sustainable home begins at the roots
Northern forests grow slowly but steadily. The harsh weather conditions — cold winters and short, bright summers — make the wood dense and durable. Wood is part of the story of northern nature, a story that continues in our homes.
At Olas, we select northern wood that has grown for 60–120 years, because we believe it offers the best combination of quality and longevity. Northern wood is not only beautiful — it brings lasting quality into our homes, built to endure for generations.
Timeless style
Northern wood creates an atmosphere where simplicity meets comfort. Its use is both modern and timeless at the same time.
Wood is a piece of nature that stays with you in everyday life. Its surface tells the story of the vitality of northern forests. Northern wood reflects how our geothermal homes are built with care and respect for tradition — yet in a modern and sustainable way. It represents a responsible choice and a desire to create homes designed for the most comfortable living possible.
Northern wood is a promise of quality, durability, and natural beauty — a spirit that lives in our geothermal homes.
Warm and durable
Wood is a natural and logical choice for building homes in Finland, suitable for both structural and interior use. Its lightness, strength, and excellent workability make it a high-quality building material. Wood is also a very good insulator, which makes it ideal for structural frameworks. When properly treated, it stands the test of time — even in Finland’s varying weather conditions. Wood is a renewable natural resource, perfectly aligned with the principles of sustainable construction. In addition, it offers a natural and timeless look for both interiors and exteriors.
Wood combines sustainability, functionality, and aesthetics — making it a popular material for homes where practicality and atmosphere go hand in hand.
