The floor of the tent
We make the Roof Lodge floor elements from one of the most robust and lightest sandwich panels manufactured on an industrial scale (produced in Germany). The low thermal conductivity here is equivalent to that of a solid wood panel of about the same thickness. And wood is a really poor conductor of heat, which is considered a good thing. These panels get their unique properties from the structure of their polypropylene honeycomb core, which is welded to the fiberglass-reinforced face sheets on the top and bottom. This elaborate technique completely eliminates the possibility of delamination, which can be observed in glued or laminated panels. This composite material is characterized by its incredibly high flexural strength and impact resistance.
The interaction of the mattresses specially made for us by Saar-Schaum (Germany) for use in folding tents and the knitted spacer mat, all perfectly matched and complementing each other, creates a unique lying and sleeping comfort that would otherwise only be possible with a much thicker mattress.

But this material has much more to offer. The compressive strength under short-term local surface load on 50x50 mm² is 2.3 MPa. This compressive strength becomes interesting when kneeling in the tent, for example. In the case of the aluminum sandwich panels that are otherwise often used for tent floors, the result is that dents form immediately - even through the mattress.
Both many wooden floors and those aluminum sandwich floors have the further disadvantage that they are only really load-bearing in a very narrow area. These areas are created either by inserting two narrow aluminum profiles (aluminum-sandwich floors) or zei doubled laths in the case of many wooden floors. The remaining areas are not suitable for mounting rails. Not so with our honeycomb floor. This material has the same properties over the entire surface.
