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.

Holz100 is a breathable building system that is 100% sustainable. The core principle behind a Holz100 home is its cradle-to-cradle approach. The product is 100% pure solid wood, without chemical toxins or preservatives, and can be reused and recycled back into nature as compost and nutrients for future thriving trees. Holz100 harvests only moonwood, that are slowly dried naturally, allowing the trees to mature and stabilize with a low relative moisture content. Holz100 has a 50-year warranty against mold and condensation. Do you have cabin fever? Never feel isolated again! Holz100 is an innovative breathable building system that brings nature indoors. Holz100 homes are 100% pure solid wood, free of chemicals and toxins. Without synthetic glues and paints, or dust from mineral wool, the building is able to breathe and acts as a natural filter. Holz100 is an eco-friendly product, and perfect for allergy sufferers. The moisture content in your new hardwood flooring is as important as the building structure to prevent shrinkage and gaps once you’ve moved in. Holz100 is a sustainable, natural, sound-proof solution to building a wood home that is less prone to dryness overtime due to its natural slow drying process. The moisture content of a wood home built with the Holz100 system is 6-10%. 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. Holz100 harvest trees at the right time and maximizes natural wood drying techniques to achieve quality timber with natural moisture protection. Moisture content below 20%, protects the wood from fungi growth. Moisture content below 8-12% deters insects from feeding on the wood. A wood home built with Holz100 timber will have a moisture content of 6-10% and will be naturally protected from fungi and insects. The secret is provided by nature: there is no building material that is so outstanding that it absorbs and at the same time stores and buffers so well. The Holz100 system acts like a natural air conditioner - it generates the best room climate, because it stores and insulates at the same time!
The room climate homes from the Thoma Holz100 system have two important features: They are 100% warm in winter and summer without additional insulation required as Holz100 naturally regulates temperature.

Heart rate detectable lower heart rate during sleep - better rest in the (pine) wood room Who actually makes you feel secure? The mechanization in all areas of life always brings new building materials to light. However, they are often enriched with chemical additives which negatively affect the health and wellbeing of people and the environment. This boom seems to be the natural force to push the wood and its benefits back into the background.
This knowledge of natural wood processing is used for Thoma products which has been maintained and passed down for centuries.
In the 20th Century In the 5th Century
With knowledge and intuition, the oldest timber constructions in Japan still hold unbelievable value in sustainability. The special moonwood harvesting during the trees' lowest level of sap allows durability, high quality and protection from fungi and insects which is crucial to our well-being. Old building materials become a valuable source of raw materials instead of hazardous waste which cascades into its next use. This is the ideal economic model for an environmentally friendly inter-generational future.
Holz100 houses have an enormously long life, for over centuries. They can be completely recycled without any toxic residues. It is much more possible to turn a house into another house or other useful resources even after centuries after it has been built.
Thoma also optimizes this principle with a production process that centers on a raw materials cycle. That's why our manufacturing plants are operated with solar power, the wood comes from sustainably managed forests and it remains uncontaminated of chemicals, such as wood preservatives or glue.
Thoma operates in sustainable cycles. For millions of years, there has been a model of the circular economy in the world which our company has taken its example: the forest knows no waste but only cycles of raw, renewable material.
So with Thoma Holz100, single family homes or even entire office complexes can function independent of a power grid and without further consumption of non-renewable resources. Renewable energy is the best choice for renewable materials such as Holz100.
The massive timber system Thoma Holz100 wall serves as a long-term storage and natural regulation of temperature which creates a balanced year-round indoor climate. On this basis, only a minimum of home technology is needed, such as being powered by solar energy.
Thoma Holz100 is #1
Holz100 brings always new, unimagined possibilities in timber construction. The following list shows pioneering projects in which Holz100 pushes the boundaries of the imaginable in solid wood construction has redefined. Thoma products have the European Technical Approval, as they come from sustainable raw material cycles in PEFC certified forests and are among many others. Holz100 is also awarded as the only building system in the world with the Cradle to Cradle Gold certification.
The services range from the small, relocatable and independent solid wood furniture to multi-storey hotel, office, school or hospital construction. Each house is a unique piece that is designed, calculated and manufactured for you and is mounted.
The company Thoma produces tailor made houses that are fit to every individual's tastes and harmonize with all climates. With over 100 partner companies is Thoma active in 33 countries of the world.
At the same time, by the freedom of chemistry and the special connection technology building with the preservation of the living space barth reconciled for our upcoming generations of grandchildren. In circular economy in the construction industry, Thoma is a pioneer and often cited model.
