New: Guide to proper storage of lumber for natural drying
/0 Comments/in News /by Ivana DuchoňováTransporting and storing lumber has its own rules. Wood is a natural material and constantly adapts to the conditions in which it finds itself. It is affected by humidity, temperature, sunlight, location, air flow, and also the way it is stored.
The Timber Institute has now published a new guide entitled How to properly store sawn timber products for natural drying?
In this publication, experts understandably summarize the needs and requirements for proper storage of lumber. They point out the basic principles of its storage, wood handling, transportation, and also the main risks.
The czech manual is intended for roundwood processors, traders, as well as all other craftsmen, builders, furniture makers and DIYers.
The price is 350 CZK incl. VAT.
Recommendation for purchases from abroad: use SEPA payments.

Recycled building boards presented to the president
/0 Comments/in News /by Ivana DuchoňováLast year, representatives of the Diakonie Broumov social cooperative and I discussed methods of testing and certifying multipurpose building boards made from textile waste.
In our laboratory, we verified the properties of these boards according to the testing and classification methods of ten selected ČSN EN standards. The aim was to verify the mechanical and physical properties of the boards, the health aspect of the release of volatile substances, and fire resistance.
After the certificates are issued, the boards can be marketed not only in the Czech Republic, but also in the EU and other selected countries around the world.
Meeting with the presidential couple
A few days ago, building boards made from textile waste were presented to President Petr Pavlov and his wife Eva at a meeting with selected representatives of Czech innovative companies with export overlap.
Congratulations to Mr. Hendrichovský’s team from Diakonia for being chosen as a progressive innovator to present their products at the highest level!
We are pleased to have contributed to this success with our laboratory services and expertise. Our research and development team contributes to innovation for manufacturing companies across the woodworking industry.
The area of recycling and reuse of waste or secondary raw materials is also part of our activities. And it’s not our first time dealing with textile processing.
Board production line
The groundbreaking idea of processing textile waste into building boards continues with the establishment of a new company, TXB CZ (Textile Board), which will resell the products and also expand their portfolio.
President’s statement
President Petr Pavel commented on the meeting: “It is undeniable that innovation is the driving force of progress and there are great opportunities in fresh ideas. Yesterday, Eva and I, in cooperation with regional innovation centers, invited representatives of startup and inspiring companies to Lány, which help, inspire and enrich with their work and unique approach.
At the same time, we would like to use this meeting to motivate those regions in which innovation centers can only be created. Whether it is the production of optical systems for satellites, the use of artificial intelligence to detect heart arrhythmias, an application to support mental health, or the active use of virtual reality in education – you deserve great recognition for your courage and creativity, thanks to which you are moving the Czech Republic forward.
