6 Comments

 

​
​A New Age of Quality Timber Construction

The world record for thermal insulation, sixfold fire protection, highest earthquake resistance and the construction of self-sufficient houses make wood into a high-tech construction material of the future. Building on traditional wood knowledge, the company Thoma developed the unique, massive wooden house building system Holz100.

HEALTH

  • 100% pure solid wood
    • 0% toxins, chemicals, glue, artificial additives or VOCs
    • Free of off-gassing and air pollutants
  • Natural stabilization of temperature and humidity fluctuations
    • No boundaries between the layers impermeable to vapor and humidity
    • Natural thermal insulation, storage and buffering
    • 3-4 times longer cooling down time due to the thermal mass of wooden walls
  • Exclusive use of ‘moonwood’: superior quality of wood harvested at the right time
    • Offers almost no nutrition for pests = no infestation
    • Less cracking, splitting or warping of wood; longer durability and longevity
    • No toxic wood preservatives needed
    • 50-year guarantee against mold and condensation
  • Hypoallergenic due to the natural fungal resistance of moonwood and natural reduction in household dust: a dream atmosphere for those who are allergic and sensitive such as children
  • Save up to 3,500 heartbeats per day as wood naturally slows down heart rates
    • Several international research studies show that living in solid wood structure brings harmony and relaxation, slows down the heart rate, boosts the immune system and provides restorative sleep at its best to reduce overall stress and stress-induced illnesses.

SAFETY

  • 5 times better fire safety ratings than conventional buildings of brick, concrete or steel: up to F180
  • A solid wood construction resists fire longer than any other building materials. In case of fire, no poisonous vapors are released and there is practically no increase in surface temperature on the opposite side of the fire. In fact, Holz100 is used as firewalls.
  • 99.9% effective barrier to electromagnetic radiation, ex. cell phones, microwaves, etc.
  • Soundproofing up to 63 dB
  • Storm, flood and earthquake resistant - forces of the nature has minimal damage on Holz100
    • Holz100 buildings survived numerous earthquakes in Japan without significant damage thanks to its outstanding flexibility to horizontal accelerations
    • Defied the strongest storms in German coastal regions
    • Suffers no major flood damage and are easily habitable after flooding

100% Pure Wood Building System

Sustainable, Healthy, Green, Safe 100% Solid Wood Prefab Home
One of our Holz100 Projects - Hotel Silberhorn

​Historians have divided our prehistoric periods in the categories of stone, bronze and iron. There is not a single word about wood, as if it did not play a role in the development of humankind. Even in those prehistoric ages, we know that mankind learned how to start a fire and without it, we would not have come this far without wood. When people moved over to the water’s edge and started fishing, they used spears, fishing rods and built boats which are all made of wood. They started building houses, then castle towns and chapels - all made of wood. Then they invented the wheel and built wagons - all made of wood. Men sailed to America on wooden ships and discovered the rest of the world. Humans owe most of their development to wood, and still, it appears that most people are not aware of how incredible this raw material is.

The current trends in design and architecture look at wood as an anachronism. The future of wood lies in laminated particle boards, glued with chemicals and covered with a synthetic grain-simulating film - A billion dollar business. Use of wood without the influence of the chemical industry seems impossible today; they produce glues, preservatives, insulation, varnishes, films, and hundreds of other toxic products, which are often deadly to both humans and the environment.  It’s a market worth billions - and even then, it is instead wood that is considered dangerous, because of its alleged flammability. For this reason only, houses were preferred to be made of bricks to last for years and heavily insulated with styrofoam.

The world would have kept following this destructive path without a second thought, had there not been one man, who in the recent past with his experience, perseverance, and endurance, started a revolution in the field of timber. He rediscovered and reapplied certain valuable knowledge that had already been commonly known since the ancient times, initially derided and mocked in modern Europe. However, staying firm and true to his own experiences and family generations of woodworkers, he didn't give up. Finally the scientists, who had initially mocked him, began to applaud him, even having renowned institutions and scientists back up his theories with studies, experiments, and lab testings. He successfully began to disintegrate the system of lies created by chemical, wood and other industries of the like, lobbyists and corrupt politicians.

Dr. Erwin Thoma, an Austrian raised in the Alpine forests, was a hiker and a mountain guide, but always wanted to become a forester. As a result of his forest engineering education, like many young people in the 70s and 80s - he was convinced that modern engineering was able to solve ongoing environmental problems. Modern machines, chemistry, and even computer science have all been invading all areas of the economy and forest management, as well.
​
In Austria, young foresters often have to wait several decades before receiving their own forest supervision area. He was lucky, however. It turned out that there was an area in the Karwendel Mountains where no one wanted to supervise as a forester as its residency was entirely snowed in and cut off from the world in winter - the closest store would be found 50 kilometers away. However, this was a dream come true for Dr. Thoma and moved in with his wife.

Healthy Sustainable Wood House
Holz100: A Healthy, Sustainable Wood House

Our goal is to build the healthiest houses from sustainable wood. We know that we can’t continue to exploit nature to simply make profit. We looked at the marvels of nature and the trees that surround us and realized that they demonstrate every day the very things we search for in our products and technologies: waste-free closed-loop recycling, self-healing and natural remedies, energy independence based on intelligent use of solar and other sources of green energy. A Thoma Holz100 home is suitable for generations to come, because its components are based on nature’s wisdom.
Waste Free Wood Home
Waste Free Wood Home

​
It has nothing to do with the idea of short term consumption and disposable products. The house is built from solid wood using a new construction method – layers of solid wood connected with wooden dowels.

As a result, the house warms up and cools down independently of any oil, gas, coal or electrical systems. It improves our health and our sleep. At the end of its life everything in the house remains a recoverable raw material that can be used over and over again.


​Rather than ‘waste’ we have health, true sustainability and energy independence.
