How to assemble a world record

The world’s tallest timber building is groundbreaking for more than just its height. When Mjøstårnet was to be built, Moelven employed a completely new and untested assembly technique.

ThermoWood

ThermoWood products have undergone a special but environmentally friendly heat treatment process. The process gives the wood a number of new properties, such as transverse stability, with less cracking and splintering, in addition, the exterior products quickly get a great silver-grey patina.

A circular system

Designing interiors with system walls from Moelven Modus is the best environmental choice. You will be working with a building system that is environmentally approved and built on circular economy principles, where the components are designed to be able to be taken apart and reassembled in a new design, thereby reducing the burden on our shared environment.

Let nature come home

Never underestimate the power of nature. Wood has an inherent ability to transform houses and apartments into homes. Wooden panels, ceilings and solid wood flooring. Sometimes it takes only a wall or floor to make a big difference. Warmth and life spread throughout the entire house or apartment. Sounding, smelling and feeling as if you have nature at home.

Factory-painted cladding

Why use time and energy on surface treatment of new cladding when we can do it for you?

First sawmill in Norway with X-ray sorting of timber

Every single log is used where it is best suited, resulting in less waste. This is the goal of Moelven Våler AS in Braskereidfoss when the sawmill becomes the first in Norway with X-ray sorting of timber.

How the world's tallest timber building withstands fire

Mjøstårnet will be the world's tallest timber building. But what if a fire breaks out?

Strong result in snowy quarter

The great interest in using wood for building provided Moelven with strong operating income in the first quarter, although the winter cooled some parts of the market.

World-class engineering

Director Sverre Tiltnes of Bygg21 says that Mjøstårnet is world-class engineering.

Can build timber skyscraper taller than 150 metres

“With a wider building, it will be possible to build a timber building taller than 100 metres. 150 metres should also be possible. Possibly even taller.”
