Living with the best of nature

The power of the forest for a better indoor climate

In our latitudes, we spend 90 % of our time indoors. This makes it all the more important to use natural, sustainable and low-pollutant raw materials in the home – because indoor air that is as low in pollutants as possible is an important prerequisite for health and well-being. Wood is also a real all-rounder when it comes to healthy living.

Wood is good for people and the climate.

Wood lowers the heart rate.

International studies have shown that there is a connection between wood and a low heart rate.

Natural wood floors are hygienic.

While microorganisms are viable for a long time on synthetic fibers, they die quickly on wood.

Wood is good for the indoor climate.

It absorbs moisture from the environment and can also release it again if required.

Wood is sustainable.

As a renewable raw material, wood is one of the most natural materials for interior design and brings warmth and comfort to any room.

Admonter and the environment

At Admonter, we take our responsibility for the well-being of people and for an intact environment very seriously. Our certifications and approvals prove the quality of our raw materials and our products. In many areas, we also go the extra mile and voluntarily fulfill criteria that are not legally required.

You can’t see them and yet they are there:VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)

VOCs can be of completely natural origin. They are also contained in wood and wood-based materials and are partly responsible for the pleasant smell of wood. However, in appropriate concentrations they reduce indoor air quality. Possible sources of VOCs can be construction chemicals, furnishings and utensils or cleaning and care products. As these are different substances with equally different effects on human health, the hazard potential cannot be assessed across the board.

The current legal situation

There are currently no harmonized Europe-wide limit values for VOC emissions to indoor air. In addition to some national voluntary audits, only a few countries have mandatory assessment systems. In France, since 2012, furnishings and construction products must be classified and labeled with regard to their VOC emission behavior before they are placed on the market.

All Admonter multilayer solid wood products fall below the limits of the strictest class “A+” (very low emissions).

Formaldehyd

One of the best-known volatile organic compounds is formaldehyde, a colorless substance that smells pungent in concentrated form and is gaseous at room temperature. It occurs in raw wood with an equalizing concentration of less than 0.01 ppm.

We at Admonter are against the trivialization of the dangers of formaldehyde exposure:

  • In addition to internal monitoring, we also undergo regular external inspections.
  • All solid wood multilayer products fall well below the limits of the currently strictest European formaldehyde class E1.
  • On other continents, more sensitive test methods are sometimes used. Admonter also meets or falls below these limits.
