Paulownia Wood

Paulownia wood, also called Kiriwood, comes from the Paulownia tree. This wood has unique properties that make it suitable for various applications:

Lightweight, strong and flexible

Paulownia wood is one of the lightest types of wood and weighs only 260 kg per cubic meter. This makes it ideal for projects where lightweight buildings are required, such as yacht/boat construction and even camper construction.

Despite the low weight, the wood is strong and flexible due to the honeycomb cell structure in the wood.

Durable and quick drying

The wood hardly shrinks or swells, which guarantees a long lifespan. Sawn logs dry quickly, often within two months.

environmentally friendly

The Paulownia tree grows quickly and absorbs a lot of CO₂, which contributes to the fight against climate change.

Paulownia wood is used in building materials, such as roofs, window frames, furniture wood and sheet material. It is a sustainable choice that offers both economic and environmental benefits. At Paulownia Global we are committed to promoting this valuable wood and supporting its cultivation and processing. We also guide you in the sale of this valuable wood. Current yields quickly reach €10,000 per hectare per year. Because we live in a world where we have to switch to bio-based construction, the demand for wood will only increase. This will also cause the market price for wood to rise.
