ECO TIMBER
SPECIES
Under the waters of the lakes we find different species of timbers with unique and exclusive appearances that mark a history when they are reclaimed and extracted. This responsible source of wood, when processed, is resistant to the weather and insects, for this reason it is ideal for sustainable products for exteriors and interiors, furniture, tables, slabs, doors, frames, houses, decks or floors and terraces. At Eco Timber we were able to supply the raw species, tables, large slabs and finished pieces for decoration.
