Unique and ecological: With a living space of around 100 square metres, the largest tipi in the Black Forest is currently being built. The family business "SpiritHome" relies on natural materials for the construction - for example, a lot of wood. The low-emission Hannoband-BG2 was chosen to seal the round profiles.

Since time immemorial, people have protected themselves from wind and weather with simple building constructions; one of the once most widespread and original forms of housing is the tepee. "SpiritHome" combines the spartan original form with today's standard of modern living culture: Dieter Junker and Olivia Junker have specialised in tipi kits made of natural wood.

The father-daughter team has already gained experience with smaller objects (4.5 metres and 6 metres in diameter); since April 2021, the largest tent house has been under construction in Nordrach, not far from the Black Forest. Planned as a permanent home, the tipi has a diameter of ten metres. It offers around 100 square metres of living space, distributed over two floors, including sanitary facilities and a kitchen.

A good living climate with natural building materials

Functional aspects such as durability and energy efficiency are the focus of "SpiritHome": with a façade made of wood, the tepee blends harmoniously into its idyllic surroundings as a low-energy house. Wood as a material is ecological and ensures comfort. "This is particularly important to us. To create a good living climate, we use only natural building materials in the construction of the tipi," Olivia Junker emphasises.

Reliably tight: Hannoband-BG2

The ecological claim also continues with the round profile roofing made of wooden shingles: In order to reliably protect the construction and the tipi from the weather, it was necessary to seal the connection joints windproof and driving rain-proof. The choice fell on the "Hannoband-BG2": The MPA-certified tape of the sealing and insulation specialist Hanno fulfils these requirements (EN 1027) and ensures optimally sealed joints (DIN 18542, BG2) in building construction in the long term. For the Junker family, the "Emicode EC1" seal was also important: It confirms that the tape is particularly low-emission and meets the highest environmental and health requirements.

The Hannoband has now also proven itself in this unusual application: "We installed around 3,000 metres on the back of the wooden shingles - surprisingly quickly and without any complications," Dieter Junker is pleased about the successful installation. Compared to conventional sealants, the tape can be applied without any additional materials: Insert Hannoband, press on the adhesive layer, done. Almost three kilometres of Hannoband thus ensure long-term joint quality. The manufacturer himself is convinced of the high quality of the long-lasting product: Hanno grants users a comprehensive functional guarantee.

In addition to "SpiritHome", Dieter Junker runs a woodworking business that also works with natural materials. Here he uses the Hannoband for the airtightness of glue-free solid wood panels: "We were looking for a 接缝密封胶带 that is not only ecological, but also of high quality and easy to install. The 'Hannoband-BG2' combines these factors and convinces us all along the line", he summarises.
