About us
Made-to-measure solutions of the highest quality: Welcome at Housewood
Housewood is a leading company specialising in high-quality cladding and other wooden products. Founded in 2020 in Groningen, the Netherlands, we have since made it our mission to put the individual preferences of our customers at the centre of everything we do. Under the expert leadership of founder Tymen Boon, Housewood focuses on outstanding craftsmanship and innovative ideas to provide customised solutions. Tymen has many years of experience in the timber industry and strives to establish Housewood as a pioneer in sustainable wooden cladding.
The name speaks for itself, because wood is our passion
Our main product is thermally modified Ayous wood. In its untreated form, this type of wood is also known as Abachi. Thermo-Ayous is mainly used for exterior applications. The thermal modification gives it an impressive lifespan of 25 to 30 years and these properties make it an excellent choice for facade cladding that will stand the test of time. But even untreated, this wood has a wide range of applications. Abachi is often used in sauna building and we even feature a special sauna bench wood in our product range for precisely such projects. Whether for a sauna, facade cladding or a luxurious houseboat, our experienced craftsmen and experts specialise in installing the wood with precision and focus on aesthetics.
The heart of Housewood
The core of our team consists of experts with extensive industry knowledge, some of whom have been working together for several years. The atmosphere in the office is therefore relaxed and familiar, as we are well attuned to each other and know exactly how to get the best out of each other. The lunch break is always spent together in Dutch manner, where we usually have a lively chat over “Brood en Kaas” or enjoy a well-deserved moment of quietness. Thanks to the proximity to Groningen’s University and the Hanze School of Applied Sciences, we regularly welcome interns and working students to our team. “At Housewood, students not only gain their first work experience, but can also actively test their acquired knowledge in practice and step out of their comfort zone,” says Tymen. The resulting exchange and constant learning from one another is firmly anchored in Housewood’s philosophy and the young and dynamic team spirit is valued greatly by many of our clients.
Embracing sustainability instead of "greenwashing"
With high-quality wood, our cladding not only gives every building a natural and warm appearance, but also offers additional protection from the elements. We are also very proud of the fact that our products are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also make a positive contribution to environmental protection. As part of our commitment to sustainability, we offset CO2 emissions with every order through donations to Trees For Life. This way, our customers can be sure that their choice for Housewood not only benefits their home, but also the environment. Originally operating in the Netherlands and Belgium, we have expanded our service to Germany due to high demand and are currently in the process of entering the Scandinavian market. Our target group includes private individuals, building groups and architects who want to integrate sustainable wooden elements into their house construction.
We will only be fully satisfied if you are!
At Housewood, we strive to exceed our customers’ expectations and provide them with high-quality cladding made from sustainable wood. Our commitment to outstanding craftsmanship, eco-friendly practices and customised solutions has made us a trusted name in the industry. And this is just the beginning of our journey!
