Contrary to all expectations, the building material wood - tested in the form of non-glued, fully solid Thoma Holz100 walls - shields considerably better than, for example, brick variants or lightweight construction systems.

Natural wood that we use in Holz100 achieved one of the best results in radiation shielding. Holz100 panels blocked high frequency mobile phone radiation better than reinforced concrete, bricks or other commonly used prefabricated building systems.
Healthy living starts with your choice of what you bring into your home, and ultimately into your body. Your everyday choices affect your mental, physical and mental well-being. When you decide to build with Holz100, your daily life in merely breathing in the scent of natural wood will certainly benefit you in more ways than you realize.
We don’t notice right away, but why do we get headaches and feel dizzy or suffocated in large stores or new buildings? The reason is simple. According to EPA, “On average, we spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, where concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors up to ten times higher than outdoors… VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short and long-term adverse health effects”.
A Canadian study has demonstrated that the colours and texture of wood elicit feelings of ‘warmth’, ‘comfort’ and ‘relaxation’ in people, all emotions that have been shown to reduce stress, anxiety and recovery times in hospital by studies examining the influences of music, plants and therapeutic massage.
Holz100 is 100% free of toxic building chemicals. But it gets even better - with Holz100, you're surround by solid wood; just like second skin. Free of harmful off-gassing, and instead it provides its inhabitants of invigoration and healing. The Holz100 house is the best foundation for deep, healthy sleep and an active, dynamic life full of strength and tranquility.
Did you know that it has been scientifically proven that you sleep deeper and sounder in solid wood rooms? It has also been proven that the heart beats more slowly if you sleep in a solid wood rather than in an artificial surrounding.
Wood becomes the building material for the most peaceful recreation homes. In Längenfeld / Tyrol 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 demand.
The best solution is provided by solid wood - provided that it is processed correctly. Solid wood is the best sound or noise eater.
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. 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".
There is a Holz100 commercial building in Munich which houses offices for doctors and a day nursery for children yet have no problems with noise whatsoever.
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. Noise makes you ill - when building a house, it is important to plan rest. Holz100 is with its solid construction the best sound or noise choker. With double-shell wall structures and adapted ceiling constructions, Holz100 offers solutions far exceeding the requirements of the sound insulation standard.
"Lunar Rhythmicities in the Biology of Trees, Especially in the Germination of European Spruce: A New Statistical Analysis of Previously Published Data" by Ernst Zurcher and Rodolphe Schlaepfer
Excerpt: "Slight but statistically significant lunar rhythmicities were revealed by this new analysis. One of these fluctuations is found in the germination rate from sowings shortly before Full Moon, compared to those shortly before New Moon."
Among the different rhythms observed and statistically confirmed for 3 principle criteria was water loss, which for spruce varied systematically between the fellings just before the full moon and those just after. This type of variation is probably due not to differences in initial water content, but to the fact that the forces binding water to the cell walls of the ligneous tissue could be subject to fluctuations.
Traditional knowledge, in form of so-called rural rules, indicates that the date of tree felling has an important influence on wood quality. The main factor, after the season of the year, is said to be the position of the moon. The objective of the presented project was to study the variability of some user-related properties of wood, by analyzing measurable parameters.
In each of these cases, felling at the “right date” is thought to be an important factor to ensure the required properties of the product. Moreover, the rafting of timber used to be limited to certain days of the Moon cycle, when the water was supposed to carry the wood in the best way.
Holz100 naturally insulates your home with pure solid wood, as well as state-of-the-art technology and innovation. Our thermal walls have microscopic air grooves that act as extra insulation, and our airtightness tests show that Holz100 reaches passive house values!
As Canadians, we spend most of our time relaxing in the warm comfort of our home - so it's no wonder why a large portion of our monthly bills go into this category. Surprisingly, Holz100 is not only healthy for your family and children, it also significantly decreases the amount of energy you need to warm your home during winter and cooling during summer!
Maximize the energy efficiency of your home by building with Thoma Holz100. One of our outstanding projects called the "Woodcube" in Hamburg has been prized as a multi-family residential building that saves up to 90% of the energy otherwise used in conventional homes.
The best way to both save monthly costs and save the environment is to ensure that you live in a highly energy efficient home. Although it may not seem much, the costs build up over the years and result to an enormous sum. With Holz100, you can reduce energy consumption up to 90% its conventional counterpart - build with Holz100 today.
Did you know? Off grid living is becoming more and more popular as more families desire something new - to live in complete tranquility and luxury of islands, remote places and private lands. With Holz100, an entirely self-sufficient home is more than possible with solar or any other type of renewable energy as it is incredibly energy efficient.
For Holz100, the vapor pressure is continuously slowed down naturally instead of suppressed by a single, vulnerable layer of foil and guarantees 100% protection from condensation moisture and fungus. Build your home with Holz100 today!
Fungal resistance of a building material is very important, as a vapor retardant will eventually become worn and become less effective in preventing damage of mold / fungus. The best solution is a solid, homogenous wooden wall like the Holz100 system.
Wood naturally regulates both temperature and humidity to benefit every member of the household. Balancing these two important aspects of a healthy, ideal indoor climate can only be achieved by building with pure solid wood such as Thoma Holz100.
