Forestlines® slats
Untreated wood with an unprecedented fire reaction
The Forestlines® slats are a revolution in the world of wooden cladding. They are the very first slats that achieve fire reaction class B-s1,d0 with untreated (!) wood. An intelligent aluminum profile is mounted in the side and ensures a reduction of +- 65 to 80% in flammable surface area. We also work with fire barriers, heat conduction, etc. A wide variation in dimensions is possible, 40-70mm thick, 90-360mm deep and 20-150cm spacing. The slats can also be made from recycled wood or Lesser Known Timber Species (LKTS) of FSC®, bringing biodiversity into the world of construction.

Steven Paulussen
Steven Paulussen is the second generation of Paulussen Houthandel BV.
On the one hand, his interest lies in wood and its various possibilities, while at the same time his passion lies mainly in innovation and ecology.
The fire in the Grenfell Tower in London (2017) initiated an extensive scientific study into fire reaction class.
The approach was always untreated wood to prevent all possible (potentially negative) impregnations.
Based on this, one innovation after another was launched in the wood world.
Innovation must always be combined with ecology.
