Why choosing a wooden building?
- Wood is healthy
It doesn’t generate any static electricity and doesn’t give refuge for mites. Wood has a natural self-protection because it contains POLYPHENOLS of vegetable origin having a disinfecting effect. Wood is perfect in thermal and hygrometric regulation, because it breathes and so it adjusts this way the environmental humidity. Porosity of wooden fiber stabilizes the temperature.
- Wood is resistant
With the equal weight, wood is 30% more resistant than steel, 6 times more resistant than ferro-concrete. (Example: resinous beam of 3 m thickness, able to resist 20 tones, weights about 60 kg, same beam made of steel weights 80 kg, and made of ferro-concrete – 300 kg)This natural strength is due to the structure of the internal fibers of wood.
- Wood is insulating
The wooden wall with thickness of 16 cm is equal in insulation of a brick wall of 96 cm and a concrete wall of 176 cm.
Fast to build
Wooden building is less weighted than a building made of traditional materials, so the construction is much less complicated and therefore faster to achieve.
Knowing that 80% of the wooden construction is made and adjusted at the plant, the time of assembling is very short (about 1 month) and not more complicated than a big puzzle.
Lifetime more than 100 years
There are thousands of examples, but to be quick, we’ll just give some examples of half-timbered houses in Normandie or Alsace regions, as well all the wooden orthodox churches in eastern countries.
But nowadays the construction of wooden houses has become even more reliable and resistant thanks to different methods of drying, chemical treatment, assembling and preservative treated coverage. The wooden construction becomes incorruptible, resistant against all biological attacks and parasites of all kinds. What is more, these methods of assembling, elasticity and flexibility give seismic resistance to the wooden constructions.
Live healthy in the wooden construction
Before all, this is a healthy construction, because wood doesn’t produce any radioactivity, gas or static electricity, and it even helps to protect the ozone layer. Plus, wood is a perfect thermal and hygrometric regulator of the environment. This way it gives you heating economy and helps to create a relaxing atmosphere in your house. What is more, if you decide to install a CANADIEN well for the ventilation of your wooden house, you will live through the hottest summers in a fresh and naturally scented atmosphere that no one electronic climate system could give you.
