It's symbolic that the colour of polar red-hearted pine has a very similar shade to the meat of salmon that swims upstream in the Tornionjoki River to lay their eggs. On the shore of this river is located PUNAHONKA. We produce here beautiful houses for us and for you and as our houses have long durability, so also for your children in many generations.
What is red-hearted pine from Lapland ?
Lapland’s red-hearted pine has grown slowly into tight-grained wood in northern Finland; experts value this pine worthy of hardwood. Over the years, the red-hearted pine does not weather like pine that has grown quickly in lush areas, but reddish beautifully, as its name suggests. The slow growth rate and the large proportion of heartwood causes this effect. And therefore the red-hearted pine has reddish tone. Even in extreme conditions, red-hearted pine cracks considerably less than an ordinary log. Moreover, the sagging of timber, which happens in log cabins over the years, is of minor effect in red-hearted pine compared to ordinary log.
That is why it is a unique and a truly ideal lasting building material.
Approximately 65% of our products are made of pine, 35% of spruce.
We produce wooden constructions CONUS from wood material according a request of customers.
Our raw materials come from PEFC and FSC certified forests.
We buy timber from saw mills in Finland and Sweden.
