The purity of wood in our untreated mass timber product is possible with the simple ingenuity of wooden dowels.  With Holz100, we want to surround you in nothing other than healthy wood when building. Indoor air quality is vital considering the fact that we spend up to 90% of our time indoors with exposure to various paints, sealants, electromagnetic radiation, and VOC off gases from adhesives, as well as noise and sound pollution from HVAC systems. We are constantly bombarded with invisible ailments.

 Many features and benefits exist to take advantage of the Holz100 potential including its unique moonwood properties that provide a natural resistance to mold and condensation: 1. Safety and Performance 2. Thermal Performance 3. Reduced Structural Weight 4. Speed of Construction 5. Environmental Impact 6. Biophilic Design & Health Benefits What started as a quest to find the culprit of an unexpected asthma attack, has become a pioneering movement towards building healthier families and communities with untreated wood. With a wider awareness for sustainability, life-cycle impact assessment, and mass timber construction, Holz100 finds opportunities to make a difference by focusing on a health and well-being that pushes the boundaries of wood construction. Holz100 is a large panelized pure solid wood construction that is cross laminated without glue; it is friction fit with the use of beech wood dowels. Although made of wood, Holz100 has a completely different structure to conventional wood frame construction. The mass size of Holz100 in comparison, takes advantage of the inherent fire resistance of heavy timber. In the event of a fire, the surface layers char and act as sacrificial or insulating layers against the onset of heat to the inner layers of wood. There are no glues, chemical adhesives, or toxic chemicals. This means there is no fuel to ignite the fire or risk of premature delamination as a result of reduced strength in adhesive at rising temperatures during a fire. The moonwood used to manufacture Holz100 chars at a predictable rate of 0.5-0.7mm/min according to EN 13501-1. The European standard in high-tech woodblock and frame buildings (with normal, average wall, ceiling and roof thicknesses) is maximal F30. This means that the building element resists a flame at 1,000 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. Holz100 elements reached top ratings of up to F180! This means six times safer than the usual reinforced concrete or stud structured brick walls offer. The ceiling ratings are even better. The Venlo City Hall is the first public Cradle to Cradle whole building design in the Netherlands. The building delivers a positive contribution and focuses on the following themes: (people, planet, profit) to promote a healthy work environment and by utilizing sustainable innovations. Why Holz100 | Heavy timber construction has an inherent level of fire resistance which increases with thickness of the wooden elements – the outer layers char, creating a protective layer that insulates and delays the onset of burning the layer below. Why Holz100 | 99% protection from daily invisible electromagnetic radiation exposure – at 4GHz, only 1% penetrates a 17.6 cm thick Holz100 wall! Why Holz100 | PEFC Certification ensures Holz100 is manufactured from timber that comes from sustainable forests. Why Holz100 | Without glues or toxins, Holz100 is a breathable system that improves air quality by moderating humidity naturally. Why Holz100 | Wood has ancient roots aid in the long term storage of carbon, helping to fight climate change. Why Holz100 | Not only does untreated wood elicit feelings of warmth and comfort, wooden interiors help lower blood pressure, heart rate and stress levels. Summer is approaching. Stay cool in a well-built home. The wooden house not only warms in winter but stays cool in summer. Summer heat penetrates just as slowly from outside to inside as warming heat from inside to outside. Cooling times in comparison:
Feel-good climate – long cooling time made possible with 100% solid wood. Holz100 36cm wall has a cooling time of approx. 280hours. Compare that with wood frame construction of approx. 8-10 hours and a brick building of about 60-80 hours. Standard building materials include adhesives, paints, and chemical preservatives that emit harmful VOCs. Holz100 is 100% untreated wood and does not emit any VOCs. Our goal is to build the healthiest buildings from sustainable wood – utilizing state-of-the art technology and carefully harvested moon wood, Holz100 is the solution to healthy living.  Restorative Sleep Activated by MoonwoodHolz100 carefully selects timber harvested during a particular cycle of the moon when the sap levels are at its lowest. The wood is left to dry vertically, upside-down, with its bark and branches still intact to ensure gravity pulls all sap remains out. This ensures superior quality wood with no cracking, splitting, or warping. This process involves no use of toxins or kiln drying, thereby creating a low carbon footprint product.  Holz100 is the world's healthiest, safest, greenest and the most sustainable prefab solid wood building system. Feel relaxed and experience reduced blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels.

SAVE 8,640 BEATS OF HEART WORK WITH HOLZ100!Endless communication is made possible in today’s world with smart devices, cell phones, and even appliances that are all Wi-Fi enabled. We are constantly bombarded with exposure to radiofrequency radiation. This radiation can cause a wide variety of symptoms & health concerns; even cancer.  A person spends around 90% of their lives indoors; we need to reconsider the framework of the building envelop as the primary source of protection to minimize the effects of RF radiation. Thoma Holz100 is a building system that was developed using innovation in engineering technology and ancient wood doweling. Harnessing the knowledge of moonwood and its benefits on the properties of wood – Holz100 provides inhabitants with a building shell that is made of pure solid wood; without glues, chemicals, or toxins. The moonwood used in Holz100 has been tested to block high frequency mobile phone radiation better than reinforced concrete, bricks or other commonly used prefabricated systems. Damping testing values show Holz100 can offer 99.9% protective attenuation up to 60dB, at a frequency levels up to 80GHz!Solid wood building systems contribute to the success...... of building healthy communities and facilities that are safe and void of toxic chemicals and VOCs. Holz100 is a natural and healthy mass timber building system that is inherently breathable - without glues; it is through and through wood – structurally stable by hydraulically injecting compressed wood dowels that expand and maintain a friction fit connection between the solid wood panels.  Project: Venlo City Hall Holz100 is 100% untreated wood that can perform as well as conventional construction methods or 3-5 times better, in terms of fire protection and thermal insulation. Holz100 is the first building system to achieve GOLD Standard Cradle-to-Cradle Certification – sustainability that speaks to the core of the product; a closed-loop cycle without waste. Using wood as a building material also means that the use of much more carbon intensive and non-renewable materials like concrete and steel can be reduced. One study for example identified that the total energy consumption in the manufacturing of steel beams is 2-3 times higher, and the use of fossil fuels 6-12 times higher, than manufacturing timber beams.
