Wooden Houses are Ecological and Eco-sustainable

Wood is an ecological and sustainable material. And it’s also a truly renewable building material. Its sustainability is unsurpassed! Spruce forests grow faster than wood is used by most major lumber-supplying countries, which have long-standing policies to regrow more wood than is felled.

Prefabricated Wooden Houses are Highly Energy-efficient

Wood helps minimize energy consumption in several ways. In terms of embodied energy, which is understood as the total energy necessary to extract, process, produce, transport, build, and maintain a material or product, life cycle assessment studies of green building houses demonstrate that a structure in wood significantly outperforms steel and concrete.

Wood also has better insulating properties: 400 times better than steel and 15 times better than concrete. Wood’s cellular structure contains air pockets, which limit its ability to conduct heat and help minimize the energy needed to heat and cool our eco-friendly wood homes while providing energy-efficient homes.

Ecological Homes and CO2 Reduction

Good quality custom-built log homes achieve the highest levels of energy efficiency due to outstanding insulation quality and heat retention. Furthermore, to achieve human well-being the high surface temperature of the wood allows an air temperature 2°C lower than in a traditional house.
Wood is a building material with a positive CO2 balance and requires less primary energy during construction. Wood uses solar energy to grow and store large amounts of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. One cubic meter of wood therefore blocks approximately one ton of harmful greenhouse gases. At least another ton is saved when using wood instead of other building materials.

Unrivaled Properties of Wooden Houses for People’s Well-being

Living and working in eco-friendly wooden houses means being in a pleasant and healthy environment. Timber is diffusible and hygroscopic. It filters the air and therefore provides a fresh and healthy climate. It has humidity-regulating properties that have positive effects on the atmospheric conditions of a room.
Wood smells good, looks beautiful, and feels good and therefore has a positive effect on our well-being. Wood positively affects all human senses.

No Limits on Design and Dimensions for Wooden Houses

Considering the relationship between people, material and the environment is of the utmost importance when building a house. Using wood as the main building material is the right choice with its endless design possibilities, as well as unmatched physical and technical properties for a wood frame house.
You can choose your custom-made wooden house for your specific needs and adapt it to the place where it will be built.

Delivery Time of Prefabricated Wooden Buildings

Today we applying cutting-edge manufacturing methods to fabricate custom timber frame homes in a safe and secure environment using high-quality timber harvested from certified, sustainable forests. Modern technology, certified and monitored production and construction methods allow for very quick assembly in a matter of working days with great advantages including weather independence, less disturbance of neighbors, no waste materials on site, and – the biggest everyone’s advantage – completion of the houses in a very short time. Thats why our standard delivery time is between 3 and 5 months.
