FAQ
NiTO wooden bricks are extremely sustainable. They are made from 100% pure solid wood without additives or adhesives and are completely recyclable. They also bind CO2 and thus actively contribute to climate protection.
NiTO wooden bricks create an excellent indoor climate. The natural wood material regulates the humidity, absorbs pollutants and creates a pleasant atmosphere. This promotes your well-being and your health.
Buildings made of NiTO wooden bricks are very safe and stable. The system is approved by the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt) for the construction of up to two floors plus an attic. The unique construction guarantees high stability.
NiTO wooden bricks offer you a wide range of design options. You can leave the natural wood look visible or cover the walls individually. The system is suitable for a wide range of building styles, from traditional homes to modern office buildings.
The NiTO wooden brick is made of solid wood. In the event of a fire, unlike many other building materials , it has the positive property of carbonization. The resulting layer of carbon protects the wood underneath and thus significantly slows down the burning rate.
