Ten reasons why houses should all be made of wood
- THE GUARANTEED FIXED PRICE
A wooden house, designed in every detail, never reserves any surprises during the construction phase: since every aspect can be customized at the table, you can also set the fixed price, final, guaranteed.
- CERTAIN CONSTRUCTION TIMES
Your house ready in 90/120 days, depending on the architectural project, from the project on paper to the realization in a few months. Each realization is customizable thanks to the construction system with panels and connection joints that does not place any limit to the housing solutions, if not that of design creativity.
- RESISTANCE TO THE EARTHQUAKE
During an earthquake, seismic waves propagate from the ground to the building structure, and the force is directly proportional to the superstructural mass. It is therefore essential to build buildings that are robust, but at the same time with less massive materials (density of the structural softwood 450 kg/mc; concrete 2000 kg/mc; reinforced concrete 2500 kg/mc). Wood is by far the lightest structural material. Moreover, its natural elasticity leads it to better absorb seismic energy and at the same time dissipates through the multiple mechanical connections. The natural mechanics of the wood and a correct design are a guarantee of resistance for a residential structure, even in the face of violent earthquakes.
- FIRE RESISTANCE
A wooden house easily passes the “fire test”. The flames, in fact, immediately consume the superficial wood but just as quickly a protective layer forms that slows the advance of the flames. Steel and concrete, with fire, collapse while the wooden wall does not lose its static capabilities and keeps the structure unchanged.
- THE HIGH ENERGY PERFORMANCE
Your house ready in 90/120 days, depending on the architectural project, from the project on paper to the realization in a few months. Each realization is customizable thanks to the construction system with panels and connection joints that does not place any limit to the housing solutions, if not that of design creativity.
- DURABILITY
There is a 10-year warranty for construction defects in traditional construction, for wooden houses it is 30 years: the reason is that there are almost never construction defects. The treatments made to withstand the weather, the presence of an insulating coat give the result that the maintenance is reduced to a minimum. A wooden house therefore lasts over time and costs little to be maintained in excellent condition: therefore, over time it is revalued.
- PROTECTION AGAINST FINE DUST, ELECTROSMOG AND RADIOACTIVITY
Wood is the building material that best protects the human body from exposure to electrosmog.
Its ability to absorb salts at lower levels makes it almost totally immune to induced radioactivity. Its natural thermoregulation reduces emissions of fine dust, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons, because it limits the use of heating systems to a minimum.
- ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS
Wood has a soul, therefore a conscience. And it is an ecological consciousness. High mechanical resistance performance, high thermal and acoustic insulation that reduce energy consumption, “zero” environmental impact, reduction in CO2 emission in the atmosphere that, on average, is 1.1 tons per cubic meter of wood used.
- THE THERMOHYGROMETRIC BALANCE
A wooden house is synonymous with balance and well-being. It is an excellent natural thermal insulator but accumulates heat and has a long cooling time: even when outside the temperature is lowered, a wooden wall cools four times slower than the equivalent in masonry. The wood is not compact, “breathes” and is hygroscopic, therefore absorbs moisture: thermal insulation and moisture absorption, combined with the insulation used give the final result of the cooling of the wooden house, that will never reach the peaks of heat and cold of a classic home.
- SOUND AND ELECTROMAGNETIC INSULATION
The construction method of a wooden house, with crossed axes, reduces up to 99% of high frequency sound waves: the monolithic structure of the wooden wall, has the same effect on electromagnetic waves generated by mobile phones and wireless systems.
