Thoma means energy self-sufficiency and the woodpecker in the forest shows us the way for the energy of the future: being surrounded by massive timber allows your home to be warm during winter and cool in the summer.

Erwin Thoma published with the medical professor Dr. Max Moser, the inventor of the health effects from wood to man, the book "Gentle Medicine of the Trees", Servus Publisher Erwin Thoma and Max Moser.
Other aspects such as the spiritual messages of different types of wood, expand the holistic handling of wood which flows into all of Thoma's products. It is always important to leave the wood as unadulterated and natural as possible.
Scientific investigations were hired to prove the effects - with amazing results. Reduced heartbeats, more restful sleep, increased concentration, as well as a strengthening of the immune system and the autonomic nervous system could be used for a wood environment was detected.
The Pillars of the Company Thoma
Thoma stands for a healthy living environment. The ideal to use wood and its health-promoting effect in the form of building materials accompanied Thoma since its founding in 1990. - Holz100 is the first building material to be produced using solar energy.
- Thoma operates the world's first and largest moonwood sawmill as well as a saw casting plant. - The Neo Ark in Kitzbuhel. From Holz100 the first large office (6,600 sq.m.) was built entirely of wood in which the heating and cooling costs are zero Euros.
- The Forsthofalm in Leogang: Holz100 became the first seven-storey wooden hotel with a pool built on the roof. • Holz100 is the world's quietest wooden hotel. The Waldklause in Längenfeld.
• Holz100 became the first five-storey without insulation and heating technology made of wood. The residential and commercial building of N11 Architekten, Switzerland. What we've noticed is that all the successful floors we have come across have been installed in rooms where there was no central heating. For floors in heated buildings, the above method needs additional drying and storage time where the wood slowly releases its residual moisture.
It is essential that the floor is tight and without any gaps because otherwise the wheat pours through the gaps. However, if you find yourself thinking about using green wood for your floor in your house now, don't! We have tried again and again to uncover the secret of those joint-less, green floors.
Over the years, I have come to know many stories and reports where trees were felled in winter on specific days. In one story, these green logs, still frozen, were taken out of the forest and installed as barn floors. In this particular barn wheat was to be threshed on the floor.
I have visited him nearly every year over the past 30 years. The floor is still there, exactly as we laid it. There are no gaps whatsoever between the floorboards. You couldn't even insert a razor blade! You really get the impression that the boards have merged together. That was the remarkable story of an old Tyrolean carpenter.
Now I was really curious and took on the job. The green round logs were sawn and dressed straight away. I still remember it was difficult to get them through the dressing machine, because the boards still contained a lot of moisture. Afterwards we didn't wait and installed the nearly frozen boards as the farmer wanted us to.
I didn't want to do a job which was going to look appalling at the end. The farmer was laughing and said: "You are right; however it is different with the wood I brought you. Those spruce were logged at exactly the right moon phase and position. Carpenter, please don't worry, you can take on this job and I will pay you."
I was very surprised and explained to the farmer that this was impossible to do. Flooring boards need to have been dried before they are laid. It would be best if floorboards can air-dry for a year or even more.
Green flooring boards keep drying after they have been installed, they shrink, and the floor ends up with large gaps. The development of our operations was going along with the fast technological developments of the times. A local farmer visited us shortly after my exams, around Christmas time. "Carpenter, please build a wood floor for my hallway. I would like you to do this very soon. I have recently harvested the wood for it in my forest," and he showed me the trailer standing in front of the house, loaded with his freshly harvested spruce.
The merging floorboards
I remember the incredible story of a 60-year-old carpenter which I will share with you. "Shortly after I finished my master builder trade exams, I started my independent career in my parental company. As a young carpenter, I was very enthusiastic about new and modern technical advances which were developing all the time and I didn't pay too much attention to old traditional ways of harvesting trees at certain times of the year.
