Wood is a nature material and must be regarded therefore always in connection with the environment dampness It is probably correct that our dwellings become ever drier, but yet today we dawn not completely expenditure-dried new buildings.

You should begin in each case with massif wood.
- How should the wood be glued?

Gluing is master thing!
Wood must have absolutely gone through a good and careful drying process; otherwise the wood has a too high natural "tension" and tears later up. In our enterprise the care is already begun in the sawmill and dried with careful drying process stair wood on 9 % wood moisture. So only same wood moisture is glued.
