Wood the sustainable, versatile and natural building material.
Diverse and sustainable. Timber, the miracle building material offers an infinite number of possible applications due to the various types and visual differences.
Wood conveys a feeling of warmth and security, it has a natural beauty and gives every building and room a personal touch. A refined timber product can be used in any living space and, when combined with various materials such as glass, granite or steel, allows for unimagined possibilities.
The thought of rustic log cabins has long ceased to be what one thinks of when hearing the word “wood building.” Modern architecture and sustainability is more like it.
In today’s world, sustainability in connection with wood is one of the most important factors. Wood, without much effort, always renews itself. The use of the surplus is indispensable, if only to protect the forests from aging and to maintain their vitality. Compared to other building materials, the extraction, transport and processing requires the least energy.
The fact that timber construction contributes to a healthy nature is one thing, the other is that it provides a healthy environment for people. Wood is very breathable, regulates humidity, absorbs pollutants and has the best thermal insulation compared to other building materials.
In case of possible reconstruction or deconstruction, wood is recyclable and closes the cycle of nature. The elements can be easily dismantled, recycled or disposed of.
Saving costs and time
Due to the low dead weight, the costs for the foundation are lower. This is a particularly advantageous option on poor ground or on slopes. Precise planning and preparation offer further savings potential. Unforeseen problems in the shell construction phase are thus prevented.
Among many other advantages, timber construction has a short construction time. The building elements are assembled on site and there is no drying time. A timber frame house can be occupied after a few months. A short construction period means less interest on the bank loan.
