Award winning Timber-Frame construction

The timber frame is a self-supporting structure, which means that you do not need interior walls as support walls. In fact, all of your exterior walls could be made out of glass! The strong beams enable the structure to have large open spaces, providing a pleasant feeling of airiness. Very often you will see cathedral ceilings which are two stories high. Timber framing provides versatility of design for the interior spaces and durability over time.

Timber frame is the strongest form of construction.

 

A passive house is a building that is passively kept comfortably warm inside by the sun, interior heat sources and regained heat, therefore it does not need a conventional heat system with radiators in each room.

Compared to conventional buildings less than 90% heat energy is used. It is an important factor since buildings nowadays are designed for leading to a strong impact of the running costs.

The prefabricated timber wall unit consists of cological sustainable products mainly substrate timber and thermo-treated timber depending on its function in the system.

Knowhow out of innovative research is used to implement a sustainable competitive product, the prefabricated thermo treated timber load-bearing wall units for ecobuildings in passive-house quality.
