Main benefits
Its incredible benefits and characteristics such as natural insulation, both thermal and acoustic, make wood the best option to save energy in air conditioning and soundproofing spaces. This energy saving is achieved when wood is available in the windows, floors and walls of the space. This material remarkably absorbs all types of noise, so a lot is gained in terms of comfort, privacy and a feeling of comfort.
