We Finns understand the power of the forest. Its silence, scent, and light help our bodies calm down, and even a short moment in nature lowers both heart rate and stress levels. Studies in recent years have shown that nature-inspired materials – especially wood – can bring that same feeling indoors.
Real wood brings warmth and a sense of safety into the home. Its presence reduces stress, supports concentration, and enhances overall well-being. Wood is not just an interior material; it is part of an environment to which humans have a natural connection. When we surround ourselves with real wood, we stay closer to nature even indoors.
The Forest – A home of well-being and inspiration
The Finnish forest is a unique place. It acts as a carbon sink and protects the environment, but even more important is the feeling it evokes: for many of us, the forest is a source of peace and inspiration.
When wood is crafted into a long-lasting and responsibly made product, its story continues in new environments. A Timberwise wooden floor is like bringing a piece of the forest into your home. It breathes, lives, and ages beautifully – just like wood in nature. Through it, your home becomes a space where the calmness of nature is present every day.
For Timberwise, wood is not just a material. It is a partner whose character we want to understand and respect. This respect is reflected in everything we do. You can explore more about the responsible origins of our floors here.
Humans and Wood – A natural coexistence
A real wooden floor brings warmth and softness that you can feel the moment you step inside. Wood is pleasant underfoot and creates a serene atmosphere. Its impact, however, is also concrete: wood balances indoor air, absorbs and releases moisture, and creates an environment that simply feels good. The coexistence of humans and wood is at its best when the home and its indoor conditions are in harmony.
Timberwise Wood Expertise – From the soul of wood to technology
Timberwise’s wood-processing expertise is built on a deep understanding of wood and how it behaves. All our floors are made in our own factory in Loimaa, where raw materials are carefully selected: we use certified, responsibly grown wood species that meet strict quality standards.
Our three-layer structure, featuring Finnish birch plywood in the middle layer, makes the floor stable and reduces the impact of moisture fluctuations. This is one of the reasons Timberwise floors withstand Finnish seasons and long-term use. Read more about the quality and structure of our products here.
Surface treatment and finishing are carried out with care, without formaldehyde and using safe, high-quality oils and lacquers. Every step of the process is part of our continued commitment to manufacturing floors that are safe, durable, and responsibly produced. Understanding wood behaviour and moisture balance is an essential part of this expertise.
When we guide you on proper indoor air conditions, it is not just technical advice – it is an expression of care. We want wood to thrive in your home, and we want your home to feel good every day.
Natural Balance: 35–60% – Good for both Wood and People
Both wood and humans thrive best when the indoor relative humidity stays between 35 % and 60 %. This balance keeps the wood structure stable while supporting our breathing, skin, and overall well-being. Air that is too dry can cause wood to shrink and form small gaps – and at the same time, it dries out skin and mucous membranes. Air that is too humid can cause wood to swell and make the room feel stuffy. When the home stays balanced, the wood moves in a controlled way, and the space feels pleasant. That is why monitoring humidity is part of caring for wood – and part of caring for people.
Timberwise x Ruuvi Innovations – Natural well-being, monitored smartly
To keep your home and its indoor conditions in balance, you sometimes need accurate information about what is happening in the air. When you want to ensure that your home stays within ideal conditions, modern technology provides an easy and reliable solution.
RuuviTag sensors from the Finnish company Ruuvi Innovations measure indoor humidity and temperature in real time. The data transfers directly to your phone, allowing you to easily monitor that the conditions remain optimal – for both you and your wooden floor.
When a Timberwise wooden floor is combined with RuuviTag monitoring, the result is a complete system where the beauty of nature and smart technology support each other. Your home stays balanced – for the wood, for the people, and for the years to come. Read more here.
