Where

Description

The company started as a small carpentry workshop by its founder Andreas Stavrakas in December 1954. In 1978 it transformed into a craft unit for the production of wood profiles and from the early 1990s began to develop as a timber trading company with a strong mechanical infrastructure. Today, after about 60 years, the combination of experience and knowledge of wood, mechanical infrastructure and a modern management has made the company ‘Stavrakas SA’ as one of the most dynamic companies in the timber sector in Western Greece.

Why wood?

It is useful that today we talk about the so-called green growth, and that the ecology factor is becoming more and more important for consumers, we have recorded some simple thoughts about the advantages and superiority of our favorite material so that we can easily reflect and recall them whenever there is a need to discuss and convince a potential customer.

Sustainability
Pretty often mistakenly coming to our fellow people’s minds that the use of wood is directly linked to deforestation and especially by destroying tropical forests and especially the Amazon. Indeed, the forests are destroyed, but not only for the purpose of producing timber, but for the creation of arable land. On the other hand, trade timber comes to a maximum of rational management of forests, in Sweden the surface of coniferous forests to be almost doubled from the beginning of the 20th century, as well as in the US. The woody volume has increased by about 100% since the 1950s. This sustainability is also a reason for its relatively steady price for many years now.
Wood is a renewable source of raw material-energy , unlike oil or aluminum, which will some time run out. Especially for aluminum we should not forget that it is a very good material for aeronautics and other high-tech products, and its exaggerated use will deprive it from future generations.

Required energy to produce
We also need to know that the rejuvenation of forests is something that greatly contributes to CO2 production and CO2 commitment from the atmosphere. A young 20-year-old tree located on forests, absorbs much more CO2 and yields much more oxygen in the atmosphere from a 100 year old tree that is no longer growing.
On the contrary, aluminum production requires high electricity consumption and therefore contributes In the emission of pollutants and CO2 in the atmosphere.

Recycling – Strength
The use of wood is always trapping CO2 that has absorbed, recycled and refreshed with little trouble. It has also demonstrated its durability in time when the necessary measures are taken to protect it from moisture. The Monasteries of Mount Athos and Medieval Homes in Austria and Germany, where wood has been used as static material, still stands proudly nowadays. We all know someone, who during a renovation of an old house has changed everything except perhaps from the floors, where a simple rubbing was all that was needed to make them look like new.

Thermal insulating properties
With regard to its thermal insulation properties, as our children are taught while reading their physics book, wood is the best heat-insulating material second only to air. The more heat-insulating materials include a building in its construction, the more “green” can be considered as it saves energy.

Maintenance
There is another myth that wood needs maintenance. With modern technology, the right construction and modern varnishes, these requirements have now been minimized.
Besides, YES, what we love requires maintenance such as our house, our car or even ourselves.

Aesthetics
Finally, the wide variety of timber items offers unlimited possibilities to the architect, the manufacturer, and the individual to cover their most demanding needs and personal tastes. Other materials don’t have this advantage.
