Wood Essences
The selection of a wood essence for wood joinery is made according to several criteria:
- Geographical area (sea / mountain) to meet temperature and humidity requirements. For colder areas, with significant differences in temperature and humidity, the best option is Pine and Spruce, and for those areas with excessive humidity and heat, the best option is Meranti
- Interior and exterior style / design of the house
- Every customer's preference for wood fiber
- Budget accessibility. Regarding this aspect, Spruce and Pine are the most accessible and ecological essences, followed by Meranti essences, the most expensive essence being that of Oak
LUCA uses exclusively FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified raw materials in the production of wooden joinery, ensuring a sustainable and environmentally responsible process. FSC certification guarantees that the wood comes from responsibly managed forests, where logging is carried out in a controlled manner, respecting biodiversity and local communities.
Wood essences are divided into two categories: (1) Softwood – soft essences and (2) Hardwood – hard essences:
- Soft essences are easy to process, have good acoustic and thermal properties, they are fast growing species which diminishes the impact of their use on the environment. It is used in construction, panels, cladding, beams, pillars, furniture.

Stain / RAL staining
Remmers stain, a semi-transparent water-based solution that enhances the wood fiber, highlights the characteristics of each essence and reacts differently. There are available solutions that mark the pores and are suitable for oak essence, but not for softwood, which has no pores.
In addition to coloring, the stain has certain effects on the wood: it highlights the design and texture of the wood, evens out the natural color, hides defects and protects the wood.
Premium ecological paint from the same supplier Remmers is used to create the opaque coloring of the joinery. It covers the wood and it creates a film, with different degrees of gloss and elasticity, after drying. The paint protects the wood against external factors and rot, in addition to the aesthetic role of coloring. The color shade is chosen from the valid universal RAL palette.
