Respect for forests
By utilizing Itlas engineered wood floors you are participating in conserving forests that will become more precious as time goes by. In fact an oak tree grows just 1mm a year. Each tree takes an average of 180 years to reach its final growth stage.
Furthermore, with its stringent Chain of Custody practices, ITLAS ensures that the wood it uses does not come from over logging or illegal sites and sources its raw material from suppliers that practice forest management.
