Funderplan
Funderplan – The Hardboard with natureplus, IQUH and SHI Certifications
The use of bio-based building materials in sustainable construction is becoming increasingly important. Sustainability and the complex interaction between design and the responsible use of natural resources require low-emission, independently verified materials. Funderplan was specifically developed for interior applications where low emissions and healthy indoor environments are key requirements.
Our high-density wood fibre board Funderplan is manufactured using a special production process based on fresh fibre wood sourced from certified sustainable forestry. During production, the wood's natural resins are activated and used as the binding agent, creating a wood fibre board that relies on the wood's own natural binders. This is what makes Funderplan unique.
The ingredients and emissions have been independently assessed by natureplus, IQUH, and the Sentinel Holding Institute (SHI). Funderplan meets the requirements of these certifications for low-emission building products.
Product overview Funderplan
Funderplan 3-field panel
Funderplan is a structural panel used as an interior bracing board in timber frame construction. Its bending strength and transverse tensile strength are almost twice as high as those of comparable products.
The large panel format spans three stud bays, enabling cost-efficient and time-saving prefabrication and installation. Cutting, drilling, routing, and other machining processes can be carried out using standard woodworking tools.
Funderplan Tongue & groove laying panel
For renovation projects, refurbishment, and on-site timber frame construction, the Funderplan tongue-and-groove panel is ideal thanks to its practical smaller formats, making handling exceptionally easy.
The precision tongue-and-groove profile provides a seamless interlocking connection for quick and efficient installation. The robust profile also allows the use of floating joints.
Product and Material Information
Verified Properties for Healthy Living and Working Environments
Our Funderplan:
- Is tested and certified by natureplus, IQUH, and the Sentinel Holding Institute (SHI)
- Contributes to a healthy indoor climate by avoiding synthetic ingredients
- Supports a comfortable indoor environment and active moisture management
- Stores CO₂ throughout its service life thanks to its durability*
Raw materials, energy and environmental data:
-
Only fresh fibre wood or sawmill by-products from regionally sourced, sustainably certified forestry are used for Funderplan production. Fresh fibre wood originates from forest thinning operations. We transform this material into a high-quality, structurally load-bearing product.The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) indicates a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of −1,370 kg CO₂ equivalent per m³.**
-
A significant proportion of the energy used during production comes from certified renewable sources.***
* Basis: Service life of components for life cycle analyses according to the Sustainable Building
Assessment System (BNB)
** GWP database: EPD-FMX-20240368-IPA1-DE
*** A total of three plants are supplied with energy at the St. Veit site. In total, 80% is provided by
certified sustainable renewable energy. 20% of the energy comes from natural gas and fossil
fuel substitutes.
How Does Funderplan Affect a Building's Environmental Footprint?
Certifications
We are particularly proud of our certifications:
natureplus seal of approval No. 0208-1304-120-1
The European association natureplus e.V. promotes a holistic sustainability approach to building products, focussing on the use of resources, climate protection and healthy living. As we spend around 90% of our time indoors, building products have a significant impact on our health. Natureplus e.V. guarantees high quality through regular tests with external testing institutes and on-site assessments, thus offering guidance and safety for healthy living. We are proud that Funderplan has been awarded the 0208-1304-120-1 seal of approval.
IQUH certificate
The Institute for Quality Management and Environmental Hygiene (IQUH) analyses the ingredients of building products and their influence on indoor climate, air quality and healthy living. Funderplan was tested with regard to the raw materials and the complete labelling of all ingredients. The result is more than pleasing: Funderplan is terpene-free and has a low quality, environmental and human compatibility factor of 2.22. The lower the factor, the more positive the effects on indoor air and indoor climate.
Sentinel Holding Institute
The Sentinel Holding Institute (SHI) promotes sustainable and pollutant-tested construction. It has developed the SHI database, a central platform that serves as a practical tool for all construction partners worldwide, such as manufacturers, architects, planners, general contractors, auditors, construction companies, fabricators and tradespeople. The SHI product passport facilitates material research and the documentation of product qualities for building certifications such as DGNB, QNG, BNB, BREEAM or the EU taxonomy.
Products with the QNG-ready seal of the Sentinel Holding Institute are ideal for projects aiming for the Quality Seal for Sustainable Buildings (QNG). In addition, the KfW funding programme for climate-friendly new buildings with QNG can provide a higher funding amount.
CE
The CE marking guarantees that the construction product complies with the performance characteristics stated in the declaration of performance and fulfils all requirements of the Construction Products Regulation and other EU harmonisation regulations.
In individual cases, CE-marked products are also used outside the area of application defined in the harmonised standard. In these cases, the products must also fulfil the specific national regulations.
PEFC
PEFC is an international forest certification system that is committed to the protection of forests at a global and local level. Certification with the PEFC seal promotes sustainable forest management. The aim is to utilise the diverse products of the forests and at the same time ensure that these forests are preserved for future generations.
FSC®
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) is an international non-profit organisation and a leader in the certification of sustainable forest management. Numerous NGOs, companies and consumers around the world trust the FCS® label to protect healthy and resilient forests in the long term.
Dataholz
dataholz.eu is a comprehensive database for wood and wood-based materials, building materials, components and component joints for timber construction. On dataholz.eu you will find detailed information on building-physically and ecologically tested wall constructions with Funderplan Biofaser. Exterior and interior walls have been tested for fire protection, sound insulation, airtightness and ecology.
