To offer a ready to use local construction product we worked out
the Belgian Lumber Standard. This means we offer dry and planed hard- & softwood. The wood comes in thicknesses of 4 cm and has various widhts of 4, 8, 12 & 16 cm. We sell and design with Beech, Oak & Poplar / Douglas, Pine & Spruce.

 The Belgian Lumber Standard project is part of the Green Deal - Lokaal hout from the Flemish Government. The Green deal calls together the entire forest and wood column to revalue sustainable production, processes and use of wood in Belgium. Locally produced and processed wood is a widely valued raw material with ecological, social and economic assets.


                                           


Most of the Belgian lumber is being shipped away, burned or shredded into wood chips. Yet at the same time we import the same types of wood. Due to a lack of infrastructure and logistics we don’t use local opportunities. In Wallonia for example there’s a big wood industry which we don’t use in Flanders. But also in Flemish forests and backyards there’s an abundant source of beautifull wood to work with.







The time is now to take advantage of using resources that can be harvested closeby. At Atelier Scheldeman we believe that we can contribute through Re-Think building processes by looking into the possibilities of building Spatial Structures with Native Timber.

Together with Hout Info Bois, the Belgian Wood confederation & Bois Local We Re-Search, Design & Build
Local Wood Structures in the field of Architectural Interventions.
