Soundproofing with Holz100

5/10/2018

Noise makes you ill - when building a house, it is important to plan rest. With double-shell wall structures and adapted ceiling constructions, Holz100 offers solutions far exceeding the requirements of the sound insulation standard.

​The impairment of the quality of life through noise is a disruptive factor that affects many people. Noise disturbs the well-being, the ability to concentrate and the communication. Typical consequences of continuous noise are limited performance and a higher susceptibility to disease.

In the case of a new building, considerable protection against noise pollution can already be effected in the planning phase without additional expenditure. Acoustic windows are only part of the measures. The highest degree of protection is achieved when choosing the right building fabric. Prefabricated houses in lightweight construction offer only low noise protection and brick or concrete walls are sometimes even very good (ie harmful) "sound bridges". The best solution is provided by solid wood - provided that it is processed correctly. Solid wood is the best natural sound or noise insulation.

​In the past, wooden houses were considered to be clairaudient - and almost everyone can tell an amusing anecdote about thin hotel walls. Thanks to the Thoma Holz100 walls, which have been awarded numerous innovation prizes and certificates, the exact opposite can now be experienced. Wood becomes the building material for the most peaceful recreation homes. In Längenfeld / Tyrol (pictures below) is probably the quietest wooden hotel in the world - the Waldklause. Here, a sound insulation was measured, which is twice as high as the standard values ​​of Europe demand.

The Best Soundproof Walls

Soundproof Holz100 Wooden Walls
Soundproof Holz100 Wooden Walls


"A happy life consists in tranquility of mind." - Marcus Tullius Cicero


Noise has a lot more to do with our mental and physical health than we think. That's why it is so important to plan ahead for acoustic insulation when constructing a house. With its wooden mass design, Holz100 provides above-and-beyond soundproof ratings. Our double-layered wall constructions offer solutions far exceeding the strict requirements of current acoustic insulation standards.

The impaired quality of life caused by noise is a disturbing factor that affects many.  Noise disturbs our well-being, concentration and communication. Common symptoms of continuous noise include limited performance and higher incidence of disease:


"Excessive noise seriously harms human health and interferes with people’s daily activities at school, at work, at home and during leisure time. It can disturb sleep, cause cardiovascular and psychophysiological effects, reduce performance and provoke annoyance responses and changes in social behaviour." - WHO


In the case of a new building, a considerable protection against noise loading can be achieved without additional effort in the planning phase. Soundproofing windows are only a part of it - the highest degree of protection is achieved when choosing the right building system. Prefabricated buildings in lightweight construction offer low noise protection while brick or concrete walls in some cases act as "sound bridges" (health-damaging).  The best solution is solid wood, provided it is processed correctly by quality construction techniques and engineering. Solid wood brings any home peace and comfort.

For a long time, people thought that a wood house, though comfortable and romantic, was just not very soundproof. However, Holz100 homes consist of 100% wooden elements which have excellent sound attenuation.

An architect challenged us with the following task: Can you build a hotel with Holz100 that would have the best soundproofed rooms?

And we built the 'quietest wood hotel in the world' with our Holz100 building system for the Auer Family in the Tyrolean 'Oetztal'. Every room of this hotel has an acoustic rating twice as good as the building norms and regulations for hotels prescribe. Please note, the building standards for hotels are very strict and some hotels cannot even comply.

To those who still question and have concerns about the Holz100 ratings, we suggest and recommend you to spend a weekend of wellness and rest in 'Hotel Waldklause' in the Austrian 'Oetztal'. This saves long discussions and so far has convinced everyone who doubted the superiority of wood.

In this Holz100 commercial building in Munich are offices, a doctor's office and a children's day-care center without noise pollution.
