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.

Picture
​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.

How Dry is my Wood Home?

Picture
​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%.

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.

Moonwood Used by Luthiers for Violins

11/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Luthiers, who had no advanced technology at their disposal, were able to make spruce timber a 100 times more expensive than gold. It is not just the material value that counts. Such an exceptional instrument such as a violin becomes priceless for all cultures, since its sound will continue to provide joy to many generations of music lovers for centuries. As such, Holz100 uses high quality timber carefully selected, moon harvested and air-dried wood for every single project.

Lower Saxony's research has revealed recently that 80% of all homes equipped with styrofoam thermal insulation have developed mildew between the wall and the styrofoam. Mold is one of the worst poisons of all that can toxicate residential buildings. Guarantee your home free from mold for generations with Holz100 Canada.

Moonwood Guarantees 50 Year Warranty for Mold

11/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
Did you know? We offer a 50 year warranty against mold and condensation for our Holz100 products! 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.

The Ultimate Material for Building: Moonwood

11/2/2018

0 Comments

 
Picture
How does wood become a material which can withstand the toll of thousands of years of weather unscathed? Three things are responsible for making wood particularly durable. First, choosing properly grown trees; second, harvesting the wood at the right time, and, third, correctly storing, drying and processing the wood. That is why Holz100 exclusively uses moon harvested wood thousands of feet high in the alps that have been hand-picked and air-dried naturally for years.

Moonwood Built Homes Last Longest Naturally

"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."

Lunar Harvested Timber: Moonwood

"Looking for differences in wood properties as a function of the felling date: lunar phase-correlated variations in the drying behavior of Norway Spruce and Sweet Chestnut" by Ernst Zurcher

Excerpt: "These lunar rhythmicities occur in both Picea and Castanea, in heartwood and sapwood. These results raise new questions and perspectives about a rhythmic character of the wood–water relation."

The Rhythm of the Moon for Timber Harvesting

10/3/2018

0 Comments

 
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 and Innovation of Holz100

10/3/2018

0 Comments

 
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.

Moonwood Buildings Immune to Infestation

3/16/2018

0 Comments

 
Nutrients are attractive to insects and when wood is aging, protein and carbohydrates are broken down, leaving 30-50 year old buildings immune to infestation. It is important therefore to allow wood to season slowly and naturally before working with it.

Wood Harvested at the Right Time: Moonwood

It is best to use wood which has been harvested at the right time. Treat all wooden components before installing them with a boric salt preparation. Boric salt is a naturally occurring substance and is classed as harmless in the ecological building industry.

Mobile Homes Made from Conifer Wood

It doesn't like conifers at all and only the light colored types of leafy trees (like maple) or the periphery of some trunks are edible. In the northern hemisphere, this tropical migrant can't fly from one home to the next; therefore, new infestation is hardly possible.

Moonwood and European Species of Trees

​The Common Powderpost Beetle is not native to Europe; most likely it was introduced with imported wood from the tropics. Even though it is able to infest dry wood in our cold climate, it doesn't feel at ease here. It doesn't enjoy the European species of trees.
