Savolit Plus - Wood Wool Boards

Wood Wool Board - Savolit Plus

Savolit Plus Wood Wool board is a great natural alternative to commercial plaster boards. Made from wood fibres which are mineralised and bonded into wood wool panels, they are perfect for timber frame cladding, both internally and externally. Wood wool boards can be finished with lime plaster or render to create a breathable, natural finish.

The timber used for the manufacture is sourced from sustainably managed forests and has PEFC certification.

Don't forget the washers, its important that stainless screws are used to prevent any corrosion when finish applied. Choose screw length to be at least double the depth of the board.
