The wood-frame technology has been a dominating construction technology in the North America and Canada since 1980.
About 1.5-2 millons of wood-frame houses are built annually in USA and Canada satisfying a growing demand. It's interesting that the National House Building Council of Great Britain has informed recently that in compliance with its Guarantee Plan repaid for defects of 20.000 structures which have been built since 1965 and only 24 of them were wood-frame constructions.

LOW-ENERGY HOUSE

One of the principal advantages of this type of house is it´s energy-saving characteristics. Exterior wall panels are pre manufactured in a controlled environment using Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) insulation panels sandwiched between I-beam studs instead of conventional wood frame and glass fiber batt construction. Our unique design produces a structurally superior home that stays warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and cuts energy costs by up to half. In that way there is nearly 50% of energy costs reduction in heating as well as in air-conditioning.

RESISTANCE AND DURABILITY

The stability of wood-frame construction is widely tested in the infinite number of climatic conditions in North America and Japon. The wood-frame house is a stable and solid residence because of a more flexible wood structure which is able to support a vertical load as well as a lateral load of wind and a seismic load.

REFRACTORINESS

Refractoriness of a wood-frame house isn´t less than refractoriness of a traditional construction. If it wasn´t true the wood-frame technology wouldn´t be so commonly used in developing countries. No doubt that wood is a good fire conductor but before the fire is able to reach a wood structure has to pass through outside surfaces such as Pladur panels, siding or fire-brick. Furthermore OSB panels (Oriented Strand Board ) with the help of special treatments attain a high level of refractoriness.

SWIFTNESS

As a result of the fact that the mounting of a wood-frame house is realized using only dehumidified prepared components meteorological conditions don´t determine the term of fulfilment. That´s why the wood-frame technology has no time of waiting for drying of stucco, cement etc. As a rule a 100 m² is put into operation during 4-5 months.
