TRÄULLIT. PART OF OUR HISTORY
BAUX Tiles were created together with Träullit, a traditional family business, founded in 1946 by Lennart Rääf.
Today the company is run by his son Bengt Rääf. The company has since made boards and panels of cement bound wood wool. Wood wool of spruce, a fascinating material, sprung from our nature, joined together with pure cement, provides unique features to any building. Features that provide sound absorption, excellent thermal insulation capacity, high thermal storage capacity, proven highly resistant to fire, mold and rot, mechanically strong and good plaster base.
The headquarters and factory are located in Österbymo in Southern Östergötland
