Sustainable construction with wood

The construction sector contributes significantly to global CO₂ pollution — around 39 percent of global emissions are caused by the construction and use of buildings. The production of building materials in particular accounts for a large proportion of this. It is therefore all the more important to rely on sustainable materials.

Wood as a climate-friendly building material

Wood binds CO₂ over its entire life cycle and is therefore a decisive factor for climate-friendly construction. The targeted use of wood instead of CO₂-intensive building materials such as concrete or aluminum can significantly reduce environmental impact. In addition to its ecological balance, wood also impresses with its technical properties, durability and natural aesthetics.

Wood protection creates added value — for greater sustainability

Effective wood protection is essential for wood to retain its quality and functionality in the long term. Our KORA® wood protection products extend the life cycle of wood and thus increase its sustainability. Thanks to our tested quality products, wood is permanently protected — for sophisticated designs and efficient use.

Our contribution to sustainable construction

More value for your wood

Sustainable construction is not just about using ecological building materials, but also about their longevity and protection. As a natural, climate-friendly raw material, wood plays a central role — provided it is treated correctly. With KORA® wood protection products, you extend the life cycle of your wood, increase its resistance and thus actively contribute to sustainability and value retention.

Safe and reliable — proven product quality
For over 75 years, we have been developing high-quality wood protection and surface finishing products for crafts and industry. Our company meets quality and environmental standards (ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015). The high product quality is reflected in a variety of reference objects worth seeing all over the world.
Environmental and health protection — safe choice of materials
By using products that meet the highest quality levels of the established criteria of certification systems in accordance with DGNB, BNB and QNG, builders can ensure a good result to protect the health and environment for their construction project. As a member of the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council e.V.), our work supports the holistic approach as the key to sustainable construction.
Durable and sustainable — trendy building material treated wood
Proper wood protection significantly extends the life of wooden structures, particularly in areas exposed to the weather. This means: less maintenance, lower costs and longer CO₂ storage — a decisive factor for sustainable construction.
Transparent — Verified sustainability data
For reliable planning, we offer transparent and independently verified sustainability data. Our sustainability data sheets help architects, planners and builders select suitable products for certified construction projects.
Long-term cost savings — sustainability pays off
Sustainable building products are not necessarily more expensive — on the contrary: Effective wood protection reduces maintenance and replacement costs, thus reducing total operating costs and making sustainable construction economically profitable.
Efficient planning — quick access to product information
Our products are listed in leading databases such as the DGNB Navigator and baubook. This makes planning easier, enables rapid integration into certification processes and saves valuable time.
