| Environmental remarks | Parana Pineis inported from Brasil where it is extracted from the tropical rain forest. Deforestation causes many serious local environmental problems and is possibly related to the climate changes in the world. The transport to the Netherlands requires 9000km by ship and 250km by trailer. The processing to beams is done in Brasil. | |

Apparently, people appreciate the easy way they can lookup the material properties and how we present the data.
