Where can I use Holzhof products?

Holzhof products are extremely versatile and can be used in practically every outdoor space. Create decks, cladding, balconies, roof gardens, boardwalks, bridges, pontoons, seating, steps, planters and more. Holzhof can be used as the decorative face for most outdoor designs, as long as it is fixed to a structural element.

Are Holzhof product colors consistent?

We do our best to recreate the natural look of natural timber. As with all products affected by weather conditions, such as sunlight, snow, and rain, Holzhof products weather and change shades naturally and gradually. Slight tarnish and shine loss are expected and intended. Natural wood endures mother nature the same way after a while.

Do Holzhof products get hot in the sun?

As with all composite products, the surfaces of the boards tend to be hotter than timber when exposed to direct sunlight. Darker colors particularly will feel hotter and may be uncomfortable to walk on in bare feet. Under direct sunlight and high temperature, footwear may be necessary. Special caution should be taken when using decking in areas by heat/UV reflective glass, or around pools.

Will Holzhof products expand or contract?

As Holzhof is made from high-quality virgin materials it is stable in comparison to timber. However, slight expansion or contraction is possible during seasonal changing. We recommend a 4mm gap between the sides of boards and a 1mm gap between the ends of boards, a 10mm gap should be left between the boards and any solid surface to aid drainage.

Are Holzhof products covered by a warranty?

We would like to say our products are going to last forever, but it would be a deceit. However, we managed to get close to it. We use only high-quality virgin materials. We spent years of research developing our products. Holzhof is going to stand the test of time! Moreover, Holzhof products come with a 2-year warranty as long as you follow installation instructions.

Holzhof finish is resistant to food and drink stains and scratches, and everyday wear and tear. Sharp objects such as unprotected table or chair legs, spiked shoes, animal claws or metal planter bases can leave marks if dragged across the surface, so take care when moving these items around. The risk of marking from strong dyes and stains such as berries and animal droppings will be reduced if removed as soon as possible, this also applies to cooking oils or fats that come into contact with the surface of Holzhof products. Please ensure to cover and protect the boards from any surrounding building or landscaping works, painting, rendering or cementitious dust that could contaminate or mark the surface, especially if the boards have been recently installed. Holzhof will not be held responsible for issues arising from the boards being affected by foreign substances as this does not represent a fault with the product. We are able to recommend cleaning solutions that may be used to address contamination concerns or in situations where our guidance has not been followed.
