Safe and carefree play is essential for the development of children, who have always favored wooden constructions for the warmth and cozy feeling they can recreate.
A natural bond between man and wood, made even stronger by the undisputed strength of this completely renewable raw material, its antibacterial properties and excellent thermal insulation qualities. Characteristics that make, unquestionably, wood the most sustainable and safe choice for playgrounds dedicated to children and young people.
From the earliest dwellings built by Neolithic man, (pile dwellings and tree houses) to the present, wood has been constantly reevaluated as an environmentally friendly raw material, renewable par excellence and resistant to everything, even the most powerful seismic tremor.
The physical characteristics of wood allow it to excel in all climates: think of the homes of Scandinavia and Canada (all of which are absolutely built of wood) or the tropical villages and metropolises of California. The “secret” is the great thermal resistance of wood, which provides a natural barrier from heat and cold, adapting perfectly to every situation.
