Savolit Plus

wood wool boards

natural building boards
for sustainable construction

Savolit Plus is the result of continuous research and the desire to provide the best environmentally friendly products and solutions. Savolit Plus wood wool boards are genuine natural panels and consist of long, strong wood fibres which are mineralised and bonded into panels. The raw timber originates from sustainably managed forests and is PEFC labelled. From production, installation, lifespan and decomposition (recycling) Savolit Plus panels do not pose a risk to the environment. Savolit Plus wood wool boards are 100% recyclable.

Composition

Savolit Plus composition

Savolit Plus wood wool boards consist of long strong wood fibres, stabilised by chemical impregnation and bound by cement-binding agent into a compact coherent structure. The mineralisation process strongly increases the fire resistance of wood wool. The composition and performance of the boards make them ideal for many different applications in building constructions.

As a result of Plus panels composition, tests have shown that they are unaffected by moisture and frost.

Produced in accordance to standard EN 13168 and are CE and UKCA marked.

Savolit Plus timber comes from forests certified PEFC that are sustainably managed.

CE, PEFC, UKCA

Boards are PEFC certified and are also available with FSC® certification.
