2 PHILOSOPHY OUR VALUES RESPONSIBILITY, INNOVATION, DESIGN, INSPIRATION. Dear reader, timura aspires not only to make beautiful things out of wood to enhance lives and homes, but also to achieve this goal in a manner that is ecologically sound. For this reason, we do not use tropical wood as a matter of principal. Our innovative alternative is to use ecologically grown native woods and, through the wonders of thermal processing, create a wood that has the durability class of tropical wood. The variety of designs and intelligent production technology constantly inspire our designers and product developers to new innovations. This has produced an impressive array of exceptional products with a uniform look for indoors and out, for customers with an eye for quality. timura stands for individuality. We offer retailers a wide range of warehouse goods for immediate sale. We manufacture all products from the diverse timura collections on request and are also more than happy to offer bespoke solutions tailored exclusively to your individual requirements. The range of colours, structures and products that we are able to produce from thermo wood is virtually endless. Whatever you require wall or ceiling panels, herringbone parquet your wish is our command! We offer a consultancy service that is individual, proficient, fair and professional. Please feel free to get in touch: Phone: +49 (0) info@timura.de. The timura team looks forward to hearing from you! Kind regards, Tom Sieverts Managing Partner timura timura The Wood Manufacturer

3 TIMURA ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION THERMO WOOD, THE GOOD AND ECOLOGICAL ALTERNATIVE. ECOLOGICALLY GROWN WOOD, TRANSFORMED TO THERMO WOOD WITH A DURABILITY CLASS COMPARABLE WITH TROPICAL WOOD. Tropical rainforests are absolutely essential for human and animal life on earth. Each year, approximately 13 million hectares of rain forest are destroyed and lost forever. In contrast to the alarming rainforest destruction, German forests are growing each year. According to the third German National Forest Inventory (2012), German forests increased in area by 50,000 hectares between 2002 and % of Germany s total surface area is covered with forests (a total of 11.5 million hectares). The German forestry industry is operated in an extremely sustainable manner and is a global model for ecology. MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND SOME HELPFUL FACTS. Only naturally grown tropical wood has durability class 1. Tropical wood from plantations does not have the product characteristics for this durability class and it is often hard to know whether tropical wood has been naturally grown or sourced from plantations. timura uses a patented thermal treatment process to transform ecologically grown native woods into thermo wood. Depending on the wood type, timura guarantees durability class 1 or 2.

4 TIMURA THERMO WOOD THE PRODUCTION PROCESS PATENTED TECHNOLOGY. USING ITS PATENTED VACUUM PRESS DRYING METHOD (VACU 3 ), TIMURA TRANSFORMS AND REFINES NATIVE WOODS INTO THERMO WOOD. Using our patented Vacu 3 method, we are able to thermally modify virtually any native wood. timura primarily uses its patented press drying method to transform and refine ash, poplar, pine and oak into thermo wood with durability class 1 or 2. The woods are placed in a vacuum chamber and thermally modified to make thermo wood. Heating plates placed between the individual layers of wood and 70 tons of mechanical pressure ensure even heat transfer. Unlike other thermal processes for the modification of wood to make thermo wood, timura s patented technology is more efficient and the use of heating plates to transfer heat ensures the uniform treatment and homogenous staining of all wood products. TIMURA THERMO WOOD CAN BE SANDED MULTIPLE TIMES WITHOUT LOSING ITS AESTHETIC OR TECHNICAL PROPERTIES. The 70-ton mechanical pressure irons out the wood panels so that we can guarantee the high dimensional stability of our products. The temperature of the vacuum chamber is only raised above 200 C when the residual moisture within the wood has reached 0% (kiln-dry). Treatment intensities can be precisely controlled via temperature and duration of the wood panels in the vacuum chamber. This

5 means that wood colours for end products can also be individually modified from light brown to almost black. Reducing the atmospheric pressure in the chamber achieves a significantly lower water boiling point (54 C) and vacuum pressure and contact heat ensure a controlled evaporation of residual moisture and pollutants from the whole of the wood. That is why timura thermo wood falls significantly below the recommended limits for toxins and does not have the smokey smell generally typical of thermally treated wood. timura thermo wood is the world s first thermal timber to meet the test criteria of the Committee for Health-Related Evaluation of Building Products (AgBB) and is also entirely safe for indoor installation. THE ADVANTAGES OF TIMURA THERMO WOOD AT A GLANCE: n Environmentally friendly and ecological n Attractive and elegant colours n High dimensional stability n Low contraction and expansion n Durability class 1 or 2 n Pest-resistant n Low maintenance

6 TIMURA STRUCTURES BRINGING WOOD TO LIFE FOR BEAUTIFUL LIVING. THE WORLD S FIRST FACILITY WITH OSCILLATING PLANER HEADS STRUCTURES AND BRINGS WOOD TO LIFE IN ARTFUL DESIGNS. With its oscillating spindles, this structure planer can produce thermo wood boards that look as though they were carved by hand. With a feed rate of 50 metres per minute, the planer can create structured wood surfaces with accidental overcuts, as well as surfaces that are wave-shaped. ARBITRARY STRUCTURES OR CREATIVE DESIGNS BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. Multiple oscillations in a single pass enable the creation of extremely vibrant and diverse surface structures. The movement of the spindles is controlled by a random generator so that the structures retain a dynamic and natural look. Innovative 3D structuring offers huge creative freedom in the design when designing wood surfaces. This universal, freely programmable technology also enables us to create bespoke designs tailored to the individual needs of our customers. As well as our Terrace, Façade, Fencing and Parquet collections, it goes without saying that we are also able to design and structure woods for unique and creative furniture manufacture and interior fittings.

8 TIMURA SÜDHARZ LUSH SÜDHARZ DISCOVER OUR HOME. EXPERIENCE THE NATURAL SIDE OF HARZ S EVER-CHANGING FORESTS, CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL MATTERS AND TIMURA. There are many reasons for visiting Südharz: it may be to experience the innovative thermo wood production first-hand during a tour of the wood manufacturer timura, to see the impressive countryside and discover new places, to enjoy a break with the family, or simply to enjoy the peace and quiet. Simply escape the daily routine or combine business with pleasure. Südharz has something for everyone. Discover 500 year-old half-timbered houses in Stolberg. Browse through the history of this half-timbered town and discover Juliana von Stolberg-Wernigerode, the Primordial Mother of the House of Orange-Nassau, or Thomas Müntzer a contemporary and adversary of Martin Luther. Or maybe pay a visit to the statue of Roland in Questenberg and find out more about the secret of the quest. Watch the Master of the Mint at work and experience the magic of the centuries-old traditions of craftsmanship in Südharz. Admire the magnificent halls of Stolberg Castle, which has only recently thrown open its doors to the public again after a very extended period of hibernation. Stroll around the Staudengarten (perennial garden) and enjoy the view over the forest landscape. Discover the flora and fauna during guided hikes along the edge of the Südharz area. Orchids, heathlands, the Adonis rose, bats and fire salamanders are just some of nature s marvels that give shape to the variety that is the Südharz karst landscape. Walk to The Joseph Cross or discover the cool peace of the Heimkehle show

9 cave, which was turned into an armaments factory during the era of national socialism. Today, an underground memorial marks this dark period in our history. The show cave extends over an area of 2 km into the ridges of the Old Stolberg on the edge of the Thyra valley and the public is given access to around 600 m of the cave during a one-hour guided tour. The Heimkehle is a key winter refuge for bats, and the greater mouse-eared bat is right at home in the cave and can be observed during winter tours. If you like small and special churches, then maybe you should pay a visit to the smallest replica of the Dresden Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) in Schwenda and listen to the history of its creation. You are always welcome in Südharz and at timura and we would be delighted to show you our innovative thermo wood production and wood structuring process during a guided tour of the wood manufacturer timura.
