Wood trusses and structure

We called it StoneOak® because its texture and colors reminds us of the stone. Logs that have slipped beneath the ground as a result of landslides and upheavals of the forest area and were wrapped and protected under many layers of clay. The anaerobic environment has inhibited the development of microorganisms protecting and isolating the wood, thus preventing the inexorable process of slow degradation. Nature did the rest. Over the time the wood structural elements have changed and others have been added. Mineral salts have combined with the elements existing in the wooden matrix, gradually transforming its organic state. Now, after a long time, sometimes as a result of excavations and perforations, sometimes as a result of natural phenomena such as landslides or other movements of the earth, the logs emerge with their beauty. Nature has protected them as precious jewels and made them unique. Unique are the colors and the depth of their texture. StoneOak® - absolutely natural material. StoneOak® - The new interpretation of the surfaces proposed for your exclusive projects. The above information were gathered during the search of the raw material. Carbon dating tests are carried out systematically at each new discovery and further tests are being carried out to obtain accurate and irrefutable data about the organic composition. Certifications of carbon dating issued by CEDAD (Centro Datazione e Diagnostica) of the University of Salento - Department of Engineering and Diagnostics, are available upon request.
