The Secrets of Moon Wood

The exceptional longevity of timber relies on three factors: selecting the right trees, harvesting them at the optimal time, and proper aging.

Historically, civilizations harvested wood during a waning moon when sap is dormant. Modern research by Prof. Ernst Zürcher at ETH Zurich validated this tradition, proving that tree trunks subtly pulse in tandem with lunar tides.

Why It Works 
Higher Density
Wood harvested during a waning moon contains more bound water. As it dries, the cell structure shrinks more tightly together, increasing density and pressure resistance.
Natural Pest & Weather Resistance
Because of its density and unique capillary water behavior, "moon wood" resists fungi, insects, and fire. In weathering tests, it significantly outperformed conventionally felled wood.
Eco-Friendly
Because it naturally lacks the nutrients that attract pests, it requires zero toxic chemical preservatives.
When combined with slow mountain-forest drying, this ancient timing yields the most durable, weather-resistant timber possible.

The Minimalist Sanctuary (Key Performance Benefits)

The Holz100 System: 100% Solid Wood, 0% Chemicals Unlike conventional mass timber or cross-laminated products, the patented Holz100 system utilizes zero toxic glues or chemical preservatives. Instead, multiple cross-layered strata of sustainable softwood are mechanically locked together using hyper-dense wooden dowels.
Healthy Living
Formed strictly from unaltered, pure wood. It naturally supports the human immune system, measurably reduces stress markers, and entirely eliminates toxic off-gassing associated with synthetic glues and plastics.
World-Record Insulation
Holz100-Thermo achieves an extraordinary thermal conductivity of just λ=0.079 W/mK. By retaining heat up to three times longer than highly insulated brick, it facilitates true passive homes with zero net heating or cooling costs.
Elite Fire Safety
The solid wood core retains its full structural load-bearing capacity for up to 150 minutes under intense temperatures of 180°C to 1000°C—outperforming conventional concrete, steel, brick, and standard timber framing.
Seismic Flexibility
Non-rigid, organic wooden dowel connections provide superior structural flexibility, natural dampening, and high-performance resistance against severe earthquake forces.
Acoustic & Shielding Comfort
Delivers twice the acoustic insulation required by standard high-end European building regulations, while naturally shielding up to 99% of high-frequency technical radiation (mobile networks, cellular towers, and Wi-Fi ambient fields).
True Circular Economy
Exclusively sourced from PEFC-certified high-altitude forests, harvested strictly during the waning winter moon (Moon Wood). This ancient, highly scientific timing ensures the timber is naturally dense, structurally stable, and fundamentally immune to pests and moisture. Holding the prestigious Cradle to Cradle GOLD certification, Holz100 is 100% recyclable for future generations.
