SUSTAINABILITY IS NOT AN IMAGINARY STRATEGY.
IT'S OUR WAY OF BEING.

The passion for wood as a unique natural and living material, and the hope of a sustainable production for both people and the environment. Wood hope and love, simply. Through continuous improvements, we will develop our business, for the customer, for our employees and partners. We actively try to influence people to make a sustainable choice.

SELF-SUFFICIENT HEAT AND HOT WATER

All the wood waste from the production is chipped and burned in a boiler so we are self-sufficient with heat and hot water. The hydraulic hot press for doors is also heated by hot water from our boiler. 400 m2 of solar cells contributes to our electricity supply. New electrical cabinets and smart power monitoring will control and run the big electricity consumers such as dehumidifiers when we have surplus energy from the solar cells.

CIRCULAR DESIGN

Many door models have been created from the waste that you get from the construction of existing models. This is because the company was founded in the 1940s before “wear and tear”, when you were careful with raw materials. For us, circularity is a new word for a natural thing, to be careful with resources. Read more about circular business models on TMF’s (Wood & Furniture Companies) website.

A SUSTAINABLE MEETING PLACE - STUDIO BOVALLSTRAND

A meeting place both digitally and physically to spread knowledge about sustainability, quality and design. Articles, lectures, rental of our facilities and events where the only cost is a contribution in the form of new trees. What is happening and how many trees have been planted through the Studio so far is displayed at www.studiobovalls.com.

WE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ORIGINS AND FUTURE IN OUR DOORS, WINDOWS AND PRODUCTS

All the scary facts about the state of the forests in the world, illegal logging and climate impact are some of the reasons why we have chosen to work with FSC certified wood.

We use FSC®-certified wood and other controlled materials for our doors

When we became FSC-certified, our goal was for all timber to be certified. We have now achieved that goal, although the road here has been bordered by both skepticism and setbacks. We have been close to giving up. Partly because of the laborious work of buying timber with the right origin, quality and dimension. It is still very difficult, but if we have decided to go for it, we will continue to work towards our goals. As producers and consumers, we can take greater responsibility for the environment by making demands.

How does illegal timber trade affect local communities and the world?

WE BELIEVE IN "WOOD, HOPE AND LOVE"

Our vision is a play on the expression “Faith, hope and love”, an expression many associate with the ocean, ships and sailors. The vision ties well together with our companies history in a playful way. But above all, the vision is all that we actually stand for, all that we want our customers to feel and experience. The love of wood as a unique natural and living material, and the hope of sustainable production for both people and the environment. Wood hope and love, simply. To the vision we have also tied our three core values:

UNCOMPROMISING: In sustainable materials, craftsmanship and quality.
HONESTY:We only build products we believe will leave our customers happy for a long time.
COMMITMENT: Commitment for our products and crafts, for our customers, partners and employees.

Through continuous improvements, we will develop our business, for the customer, for our employees and partners. We actively try to influence people to make a sustainable choice.

We always aim to source wood responsibly. Being located in a remote place where the sea
and the woods are always present, we feel it is our obligation as a company.
