Controlled Moisture for Healthy Homes

2/26/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The timber of Holz100 system is harvested when the sap levels in the trees are at its lowest; influenced by the gravitational pull of the moon cycle.  A stable moisture content is achieved by allowing the timber to drain vertically and drying naturally for at least 1-4 years.  This drying cycle builds a muscle memory in the cellulose fibres of the timbre, thereby producing lumber that is more stable and less prone to cracking and splintering over time.  The result is a controlled indoor climate in Holz100 homes.

Wood Home with Holz100

2/25/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The Holz100 system is harvested from mature trees that have been naturally exposed to varying temperatures and weather conditions throughout its drying lifecycle.  The drying process, therefore, instills in the wood a muscle memory.  The slow and natural drying process enables the oxidation and depletion of sugars that otherwise would attract the growth of fungi, mold and insects.  Build a sustainable wood home with Holz100.
