WHY WE ARE IN WOODEN HOUSES CONSTRUCTION?

First of all wooden construction is the best long term investment in real estate. While concrete apartments depreciate in due course, wooden ones even rise in price. Building standards that are used for log houses are very high today. This means you get a quality home and it also means that you have great value in your home as well. Usually log homes appraise out much higher than traditional homes that are about the same exact size. So, you'll end up with more equity in your home and if you have to sell, you'll be able to make a nice profit too.

Secondly wooden house provides the elegance and warmth atmosphere that people always ask for. Ecologically speaking wood is a step ahead of other building material. Compared to man made substitutes material, the concept of wood house creates the natural finish of living for the home owner cause wood lends comfortable atmosphere indoors, and wooden floors and walls are always warm and dry to the touch. Wood removes humidity from room air when it is damp and returns it when it is dry. Because the log homes are built so tightly, they are very energy efficient and they'll keep you warm all winter long and cool during the summers as well. You'll also save on the heating and cooling bills, cause wooden building consumes:

  • - 28% less energy and 39% less water than equivalent materials used in steel structures; and
  • - 45% less energy and 46% less water than equivalent materials used in concrete structures.

Log style home living also provides you with a cool home that is sturdy and durable as well. You'll have a property that is very sturdy that will hold up, even in bad weather and can withstand conditions of high wind, heavy rain and even earthquakes. Also, you can be sure that these properties are going to last for a long time as well, which is another great benefit.

Advances in production techniques have now made it possible to use completely different construction methods. The new wooden materials are crack-free and homogeneous so that they retain their original shape and size. In addition new fire prevention treat means came into force. Using solid wood and wood products it is possible today to manufacture multifunctional assemblies on any industrial scale and to construct multi-storey wooden buildings. Building a wooden house today is like assembling IKEA furniture,” maintains A.Deplazes, Professor of Architecture and Construction, Zurich. Woods immense flexibility makes it the best choice for creating customized structural or decorative designs. Walls that are up to 20% thinner than standard concrete walls, provide for greater internal floor space and the ability to embed infrastructure (electrical wiring, plumbing and ventilation ducts) in floor. Wood buildings can be easily redesigned to suit changing needs, whether it be the addition of new room or moving a window or door.

When comparing the fire safety of wood versus concrete or steel, wood is stronger than you might think. Although wood is combustible material, a layer of char is created when it burns, and this helps to protect the wood and maintain the strength and structural integrity of the wood inside. For this reason a heavy timber will stand longer than a comparable steel beam which will melt from the heat before the timber burns through.

Wooden construction is a complete building system in which a combination of materials and design elements contribute to creating a durable, healthy and safe environment.

We are in constant improvement of manufacturing and construction techniques keeping in mind that when building concepts and constructional technologies were adapted properly and quality of manufacture and assembly properly supervised then it is possible to erect wooden houses which would have long useful lifetimes – as long, in fact, as brick or concrete buildings.

We are in wooden construction because we know everything about wooden construction and quality of implementation is the main criteria in our work. We even built our own Maharaja wooden house which is available for visiting on request.
