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. Breathing Walls
Holz100 walls are permeable and windproof. This combination results from the material structure of walls made of 100% pure, solid wood. Thoma also provides a 50-year guarantee against mold and condensation for his buildings. This is unique in the construction industry! In the winter, the best values of the Holz100 system become particularly effective as it trumps all other building materials regarding the cooling time of the building envelope. That makes energy efficient living and self-sufficient passive houses without insulation and complicated building technology possible.
Holz100, thanks to its patented construction, absorbs heat almost twice as well as full or glued wood and thus holds the world record in thermal insulation among all building materials.
This wood is essential as there is minimum food for pests, is denser and therefore more naturally durable than conventionally harvested wood. No wood that contains toxins or preservatives can be safely dispensed.
That's Holz100
Moonwood - Lasting for Generations Wood harvested from the right time makes this possible. Holz100 only uses renewable, PEFC and FSC certified, native moonwood.
This is how wood is created in its best form:
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.
