Wood - The builders choice
Today, designers, builders and owners are looking for safer and more energy efficient buildings with the aim of not harming the environment.
Wooden frame constructions are solid, resistant, easy to insulate and easy to renovate, adding value over the years. Over the years and after much research it has been proven that they have become better than ever, moreover, it is the only renewable building material.
Whatever the construction challenge, from strong winds, humidity, extreme temperatures, wooden houses have proven technical solutions to overcome any problem.
There are more and more reasons to opt for wood construction.
Advantages of choosing Wood Frame
Simple and efficient
Timber framing construction combines lumber or processed lumber products and wood panel cladding structures to erect wall, floor and roof assemblies for quick construction.
These sets are sturdy and easy to interconnect and insulate. It is a construction technology that has already been applied numerous times and, more and more, new wooden houses are being built.
Lasting service life
Most buildings are built, but built, not because of wear and tear, the type of style what is suitable and of suitable size.
Opting for a wooden construction will facilitate the renovation of the building or the expansion of it, which means that it can adapt to the changes that may arise.
This is just one of the reasons to opt for a wooden construction.
Great acoustic performance
Wood performs well in insulating outside sounds. After several years of research and experience in building with wooden structures, it allows builders to design walls and floors that provide a peaceful and quiet environment for the inhabitants.
Safe bet in case of earthquake
Wooden frame construction has proven to be one of the safest construction methods in the event of an earthquake, as it provides some advantages compared to other construction methods, including: a: The solidity and lightness of the wood represent an advantage as it means that less intense forces are exerted on a building. b: There are multiple nail connections in the wooden frame, which means that there are multiple support paths to absorb the forces. c: The connection with the pre-used in construction with energy dissipation structures of a motorcycle.
Energy expenses remain low
Comfort and savings are synonymous with construction on wooden structures. Heating and cooling costs constitute a significant part of a home's expenses, so one of the most important characteristics for home buyers is low energy consumption.
Wood has always had a good reputation for being easy to insulate and compared to other building materials such as steel and concrete.
Heat resistant
In fact, wood is a material that burns but, like steel and concrete, it meets and exceeds building safety standards for use in walls, floors and roofs.
The wood is able to maintain the necessary strength during a fire due to the coal it forms, guaranteeing protection to the parts that are not burned.
The only renewable building material
Wood performs well in insulating outside sounds. After several years of research and experience in building with wooden structures, it allows builders to design walls and floors that provide a peaceful and quiet environment for the inhabitants.
There are more and more designers who are so committed to designing buildings that are less demanding on the environment, and as advantages of wooden construction become more than ever. Wood has a contribution to improve the general commercial or environmental performance, resources of any consumption and energy, in the use in environmental impacts.
Wood is the only main building material that is reusable. Although recycling is important in the treatment of non-renewable materials such as steel, recycling metal still requires a lot of energy. The steel used for creating structures also requires a high proportion of virgin metal in order to maintain a high quality of certain properties.
However, the wood's ability to renew itself and the low energy consumption of its production make it the best choice for communities and owners concerned with the judicious use of resources.
