What materials are used to make Wemel Wood products?
Our products are made from thermowood, a sustainable material created by thermally modifying wood to enhance its durability and resistance to decay. This process uses no chemicals, making our products environmentally friendly and safe for a variety of applications.
Wood and electronics together does not seem safe. Are your products safe?
Thermowood, the material used in our products, undergoes a thermal treatment process that significantly alters its properties, making it more akin to plastic in terms of durability and resistance. Wemel Wood products have passed extensive independent conformity assessments and comply with all relevant European Union directives. Our testing includes evaluations for heat and fire resistance, impact resilience, and performance under various climatic conditions. These tests confirm that our product line meets all appropriate standards and is safe for use and resilient to impacts and temperature fluctuations. However, we emphasize that the installation of any electrical appliances needs to be always be carried out by professional and certified electricians to ensure safety and compliance.
Your products can be used with type F and C plugs & sockets commonly used in Europe. Do you plan to expand compatibility to other regions like the US, Asia, and Latin America?
Currently, our products are designed for compatibility with the type F and C plugs & sockets prevalent in most parts of Europe. As our product series has recently launched, our initial focus is on establishing our presence in this region. However, our product development team is actively working on prototypes for other types of plugs and sockets. We aim to expand our reach and make our products available globally in the coming years.

How do I dispose of Wemel Wood products at the end of their life?
Wemel Wood products are 100% compostable. You can add them to your local composting facility or utilize them as biodegradable fuel for heating.
How durable are Wemel Wood products compared to plastic?
Our thermowood products offer durability comparable to plastic. They are designed to withstand the demands of both the electronics and construction sectors, maintaining their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity over time.
How should I clean your product?
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth and make circular motions to remove light dirt.
How often should wood surfaces be maintained and what should I use?
It is recommended of waxing wood surfaces at least once a year to ensure their aesthetic appearance. Use Borma Wachs’ Holzwachs colorless beeswax (product code 0120-08) for maintenance. Apply a thin, even layer using a clean, dry cotton cloth, wait a few minutes, and then polish. This regular maintenance helps preserving wood's natural beauty and durability.
What should I use for more stubborn stains?
For tougher stains, apply Borma Wachs’ water-based neutral furniture cleaner (product code NAT0060) or a special waxed surface care product (product code 4061) to a clean, dry cotton cloth. Clean the wood surface with circular motions, then after a few minutes, polish it with a dry cloth.
Can Wemel Wood products be used in any style of interior design?
Yes! Our products are versatile and visually appealing, fitting into modern interiors as well as traditional wooden and public architectures to give some examples. They are available in natural thermowood and stained black to match various design preferences.
