Board / Beam BauBuche S
BauBuche S is mainly used for bar-shaped construction components.
To produce these, the boards are cut in longitudal direction in order to obtain small cross-sections of maximum 60 mm in width.
BauBuche S is currently only available for non-exposed applications.
Board BauBuche Q
BauBuche Q is available with approx. 15% cross-plies. The material is primarily designed for flat-bearing elements such as load-bearing wall panels, and for components in assembled elements including box girders or ribbed plates.
Thanks to the cross-layers, even large boards are resistant to warping.
As part of the Engineering Timber Construction Days 2023, Dipl. Ing. Jan Hassan spoke about the use of BauBuche. Get to know BauBuche, a high-performance material made of beech wood with a compressive strength like concrete C50/60. With it, columns and beams of skeleton structures can be executed as slender as with reinforced concrete.

For a long time beechwood was neglected in forestry, and was mainly used as firewood. It was not until the mid-19th century that the beech tree was discovered as a source of timber, and afforestation began. Today it is the most common deciduous tree in Germany, accounting for around 15% of the entire tree population.
