The wood plants face to the concrete
28 October 2011
The concrete? In first term, this data can surprise to the one who is out of the world of the construction and desconoce that the utilisation/utilization of the wood also guarantees a solid house. But, in addition to the solidez, there are ways to understand a home that step further. It treats of families that prevail the natural balance, the sustainability and the quality of life. It is here precisely where is going back with strength the wood.
Innovative companies like House Nova 3020, have bet by this current that defends the advantages of edificar with wooden structures. A style that identifies with the harmony and the confort and to the that every time adhere more families concerned by the welfare and the surroundings.
This company confirms in his activity how the wood is planting him expensive to the concrete and follows winning follower. Between his projects in course stand out a chalé in Igorre (Biscay), a bifamiliar in Sopelana (Biscay) and another chalé in Ribadesella (Asturias). His work is to create homes under sustainable premises by all the zone north of the peninsula. His proposal: a good wooden structure.
Tradition and innovation
The proposal shuts the best of the tradition and of the innovation. Tradition in the respect to the constructive shots of each zone and his rules established along the time, as well as the way of conjugar the architecture and the place through the materials that the nature offers. Innovation in the application of the modern engineering and in the rational utilisation/utilization of the environment.
Sustainable from inside
And in what differentiates with a house of concrete? The construction by means of wooden structure is faster, because it does not need contribution of water neither the successive dried and fraguado. His utilisation/utilization is the preferential option of a lot of European countries, where already has showed that surpasses the proof of the time with note.
And in addition to being a structural element is of by himself an insulating material. This facilitates the elimination of the thermal sensors bridges, true blackheads of the edificación, and the stains of humidity (condensation) that of these derive. As they indicate from House Nova 3020, the secret is inside. The wood is strong and flexible and contributes clear improvements: his employment like main element of the structure allows to regulate of natural form the humidity and the inner temperature, creating like this environingingments higrométricamente very balanced, more confortables and healthy for the occupants.
The energetic certification is another of his strong points, since the isolation that achieves allows to obtain some very high qualifications, at least of Class B, what supposes a near saving to 55% in the energetic bill of the home if it compares with another conventional building.
Design... Always!
A house of wooden structure is not a cabin, neither a house prefabricated, neither a clone of other built to his around, as it seems to be norm in the typical urbanisations/urbanizations of unifamiliares. It treats of a system of construction in situ that admits all type of designs and finishings, where the wood conforms the structural skeleton that always remains unseen. This allows to establish the preferences of his proprietary futures to develop personalised/personalized projects that answer to his needs.
This is precisely another of the strong points of the proposal of House Nova 3020, that poses a home in complete tuning with the lifestyle of each family, looking for the personalización and respecting his individual tastes to create only spaces in each case.
With the law in the hand
Once seen the inherent advantages to the houses of wooden structure can arise doubts on his lace in the legal and normative frame current: can ask loans hipotecarios to fund his purchase or construction?, they can demand constructive guarantees?, it is possible to hire insurances? The answer is yes to everything.
Asked after some of these questions, House Nova 3020 explains that all the systems of construction are regulated and controlled by the same rule: the Law of Ordenación of the Construction (PRAISE) and the new Technical Code of the Edificación (CTE). It PRAISE it it demands a decade of guarantee on vices or defects that can arrive to affect to the structural hygiene of the building, whereas the CTE forces to that the structural elements of any constructive system are calculated for a period of minimum use of 50 years. The company also informs that a house of wooden structure is a very inmueble settled definitively in the terrain and therefore it can be mortgaged and subscribe insurance like any another house.
