Paulownia wood (also known as Kiri wood) is one of the lightest wood species in the world (which is why it is also called the aluminum of woods). At the same time it is dimensionally stable and weather resistant (data sheet).
Paulownia wood is suitable for many applications. It is used where light weight plays an important role. Furthermore, it is suitable wherever high stability and an aesthetic appearance are required. We produce, for example, furniture made of Paulownia wood for use in the Tiny House and caravanning sector, where the wood is laminated or veneered. Paulownia wood can also be used to produce Paulownia cross laminated timber (BSH/CLT) as well as Paulownia veneer.
Paulownia wood can also serve as a substitute for domestic wood, as it binds large amounts of carbon dioxide in a short time due to its rapid growth (approx. 47 tons per hectare and year). Furthermore, no forests are cleared for Paulownia plantations, as our Paulownia wood is grown on custom plantations. This is confirmed by the proof on the basis of the EUTR. We offer imported and/or European Paulownia wood, depending on your requirements. Furthermore, you can also invest with us in fast-growing Paulownia plantations.
Paulownia wood, like any other wood, can be treated with appropriate varnishes and coatings. Through the use of varnishes and paints, the unique grain can be accentuated. By using HPL/CPL or veneers, very durable and individual surfaces can be designed. This can be combined with the use of waterproof glued Paulownia plywood panels (available in emission class E0 and E1), which allows for very stable, light and individual products.
One of the best-known applications of Paulownia wood is its use in sauna construction, as it has an even lower specific thermal conductivity than Abachi wood. Unlike Abachi, Paulownia is not a tropical wood, and can be grown economically in Europe.
Paulownia wood is also suitable for outdoor use, as it absorbs little moisture and has very low swelling and shrinking behavior (this is why Paulownia wood is a popular material for surfboards and kiteboards). Therefore, it can also be used as a facade element. In terms of durability, it is comparable to domestic Larch, but has better properties (2 to 3 acc. to EN 350-2).
Paulownia wood is suitable for countless applications, with no limits to creativity. We are happy to provide you with our Paulownia wood for your ideas (e.g. as sawn timber, glued timber, plywood, veneer). Just contact us!
