What are the advantages of massive wood construction to the construction of masonry / brick
Wood is the most environmentally friendly building material when used effectively. Even if you are a convinced environmentalist, there are many arguments that will make you decide on a wooden building. The advantages are related to: very high resistance to earthquakes. The high degree of ecology (acts as a biological filter), thereby ensuring that "breathing " fresh air and pleasant interior and a constant moisture (the wood has the ability to accumulate moisture from the outside and inside to progressively transfer when it drops atmosphere). very good coefficient of thermal and acoustic insulation, higher than those of the construction of brick / concrete.
What types of covering roof can be used?
For the final roof covering you can use any material found in trade (bituminous shingles or board, any board, any type of tile). For homes that will be covered with tin or tile, the roof will be made to support the greater weight of these materials.
How many levels can have a house of wood?
Wooden houses we made can perform 2 levels (P + M and P + 1). Usual models can be built on a foundation or on another floor made of brick / concrete.
How to perform the electrical installation inside walls?
The electric installation is charged paths through the walls done by using high-conductivity wire and insulation with additional reinforcement so that the danger of short-circuits and overheating them.
What kind of heating system can be used?
You can use any current system to heat the wood houses. We recommend the usage of central heating installations, either with radiators / convectors, or with floor heating. Boiler can be supplied with any fuel or can be by electricity, depending on the conditions existing optimal. You can also use heat sources with fire as stoves and fireplaces. In this case, our recommendation is to use closed or semi-enclosed combustion chamber for increased security degree in mining.
What finishes can be used in bathrooms / kitchens in wood houses?
You can use the same finishes as well as homes with classic brick masonry / concrete. The only difference in this case is related to installing tile, that will be on hard drywall through the uprights to allow relative movement of settlement its walls and in relation to masonry.
What works is the responsibility and expense of the customer to purchase a wooden house?
Works entering the client are: preparing the project for construction authorization, concrete slab were will be installed over the house, electrical and sanitary installations. The customer must obtain at its expense all the necessary acts for building the house (including architectural design with authorized stamp). Once the authorization is obtained, customer is responsible for arranging and / or fencing land, connection to utilities and execute foundation. The house will be transported from our factory to the final location of the customer's expense. After assembling the house will be completed, customer will purchase and install the roof final covering and execution of all necessary facilities and interior finishes of any kind, where needed.

Delivery of the houses varies depending on the type of their complexity. We offer a period between 30 and 90 days.
How does the wooden houses behaves at earthquakes?
The joint at the corners, by tongue and groove assembly and mechanical qualities of laminated wood construction make this type to be best suited for seismic regions. The structure of these houses is conceived as a space frame system elastic, there are levels of effort, all is balanced and smooth. Houses made on this system very well behaved eaven at 7-8 grade earthquake on the Richter scale, virtually is known as the safest building system.
What is the lifespan of the wooden house?
For houses that were not treated we offer a warranty of 5 years and for those treated a 10-year warranty. Lifetime for houses, vary depending on the maintenance of wood. We recommend to make a treatment of wood on the outside, once every 3-4 years, given the fact that the exterior walls are exposed to harmful climatic factors (rain, wind, UV, etc..). Do not forget that currently there are houses that were built 100 years ago.
