Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important topic within the construction industry. How can a project be equipped with a beautiful facade with ‘green’ certifications and be fireproof? Awood addresses this question by offering solutions for every facade project. Within Awood’s assortment, there is a wide range of products, including hardwood, (thermally) modified wood, bamboo, and wood composite.
Awood is not simply a timber trade, but also an advisor. The account managers of Awood travel across the country to give material presentations, help customers with questions, and assist with the start-up of projects. Awood is also an innovator in the field of environmentally friendly building materials and fireproof construction. The company builds its own mock-ups to then perform end-use fire tests. This has led, among other things, to a closed and clickable bamboo facade system with Fire Class B end-use certification.
Awood also regularly organizes events in its extensive showroom, to display innovations like these and answer issues in the industry. Previous editions have covered topics such as fireproof construction and bio-based design.
“At Awood, we come up with unique combinations of sustainable materials to surprise and help our customers. We mainly see our customers as partners and we like to think along with them,” says Wim Achterweust, commercial director and social media ambassador of Awood. “We use our online channels to promote our partners, we show their projects and their enthusiasm for the products. For our partners, this means extra promotion and for Awood, it means a happy chain.”
