The rise of
timber buildings

Timber continues to inspire and shape how we build. On the

following pages, you’ll see how the world's oldest building
material is transforming our cities from concrete jungles into
sustainable carbon sinks.

All of the projects showcased here are built with Sylva™

by Stora Enso or with wood products from our sawmills
throughout Europe. That is to say, the roots of these buildings
are in biodiverse, sustainably managed forests, harvested
with silviculture practices and produced, ensuring no part of
the tree went to waste.

By the time you finish reading this brochure, all of the wood
will have grown back and contributed to the flourishing and
expanding European forests. And while they do, we invite you
to ask yourself this: What if my next building was made with
wood too?

Why build in wood?

There are many compelling, smart, green and beautiful

reasons to build with wood.

This chapter succinctly encapsulates how wood addresses

climate change, boosts health, increases sales, acts as a
successful market differentiator, slashes construction times,
and transforms where we live, work and play for the better.

Take a look for yourself and add to the trending list of reasons
why wood works. Share how wood benefited your project on

Inspiration and design ideas for building with

Sylva™ by Stora Enso

Thinking about building in wood and want to know how

to get started? Our pre-designed Building concepts will put
you on the right path with a simple, practical, low-carbon,
cost-effective solution. When paired with your imagination,
our Sylva kit and concepts give you the right parts and pieces,
design ideas and tools to bring your ideas to life. They show
you ideas and options for different building types, layouts,
scales, needs and spatial requirements. And provide you with
key facts on carbon emissions and costs to help your decision-
making process.

In the project's concept design phase, many critical factors

can positively (or negatively) impact the construction process
and overall carbon footprint. Our Building concepts have been
refined and improved along the way for the optimal outcome
using the Stora Enso Sylva kit and platform to point you in the
right direction.

GLT/Glulam is an engineered wood product for load-bearing

conventional timber. With a higher strength to weight ratio than
steel, it can offer unlimited flexibility in design and construction
opportunities.

Window/door
components
GLT is particularly suitable for where there is a requirement for
a natural solid wood appearance without visible joints of
individual lamellas.

ThermoWood
GLT consists of at least two dried boards or lamellas made of
coniferous wood that are glued together in parallel with the fibers.
Due to the strength grading of the raw material and the optimized
Wood pellets

positioning of layered structures, the product ensures a stable

quality and has higher load capacities than conventional timber.
The manufacturing process makes GLT a very dimensionally
stable building material. GLT is available in visual or non-visual
quality. Using finger-jointing, lengths of up to 16 metres can
be produced.
