SECA, the company behind the FEEL WOOD solid wood flooring brand, can look back on a long and successful history. Since its founding in 1915, it has developed from a small frame sawmill into an internationally networked timber industry. Despite the growth, SECA continues to pursue the strategy of organic growth and focuses on sustainability and resource conservation.
The raw material processed by SECA comes from both hardwood and softwood. Both types of wood carry the certificate of recognized international certification systems for sustainable forestry – either FSC or PEFC. These certificates not only document the sustainability of the wood used, but also enable traceable origin. Thanks to this careful selection of our raw material sources, we can ensure that we do not destroy forests or contribute to deforestation. Instead, we support forestry companies and sawmills that are actively committed to preserving and protecting forests.
Origin of FEEL WOOD wood species
Origin plays a crucial role in the quality and sustainability of our products. Each individual type of wood has its own history, which is closely linked to its country of origin. Let's take a look at the different countries of origin and why they are important for our high-quality solid wood flooring:
spruce
Sweden is the home country of the Nordic spruce, one of the most popular types of wood for our products. Swedish forests offer ideal climatic conditions for the growth of this robust tree species. The high proportion of needles makes the wood particularly resistant to external influences.
Jaw
Finland, on the other hand, hosts the Nordic pine, whose characteristic grain and lively color make them a special eye-catcher. The Finnish climate ensures that this type of tree grows slowly and therefore achieves a high density - perfect for long-lasting solid wood flooring.
Larch and pine
Austria supplies us with both native larch as well as Alpine pine. The local larch is characterized by its warm color. The Alpine pine, on the other hand, is known for its pleasant scent and its calming effect on the human organism.
The Siberian and Canadian larch is native to the northern regions of Siberia and Canada, where temperatures are significantly colder. Because of these extreme conditions, it grows slower than other tree species. This slow growth rate results in narrow growth rings that give the wood exceptional strength. The dense structure of the wood makes Siberian and Canadian larch a popular choice for solid wood flooring.
oak
After all, Hungary has both European ones oak as well as European red oak and European Ash bestowed. These types of wood are characterized by their characteristic grain and warm color, which gives them a timeless beauty.
The origin of our FEEL WOOD types of wood not only shows our global connection, but also our commitment to quality and sustainability. Every piece of wood tells its own story - from the forests of Scandinavia to the mountains of Austria.
It is important to us that our customers know that when they purchase our FEEL WOOD solid wood floors, they are not only receiving a high-quality product, but are also making a contribution to preserving the environment. Because only through sustainable decisions today can we ensure a positive future for future generations.
