By choosing wood from certified forests, you give the forest economic value and enable the forest manager to protect the forest. Use the forest calculation tool to calculate how many m² of forest your project will protect if you choose FSC® wood.
Enter how many m² of wooden facade cladding you need (had) for the project. Forestlines® uses tropical wood, so you protect the most valuable forests in the world, tropical forests.
One m² of Forestlines® in accordance with the fire classification contains an average of 0.02593 m³ of wood. Of course, we also take extra account of approximately 10% cutting loss during assembly.
Yield data from various FSC® concessions show that an area of more than 1,000 m² of tropical forest (0.1 hectare) produces a yield of approximately 0.5 m³ of hardwood. Because the yield can differ per type of hardwood, averages have been used.
The FSC® forest calculation tool is a first step in quantifying the positive impact of using FSC® wood on protecting forests. No rights can be derived from the tool and the calculated impacts.
