Why build a wooden structure

Fast House Construction

Prefabricated wooden structures have one undeniable advantage: the speed of construction. If you own the land, have obtained a building permit, and have a foundation slab ready, you could be living in just a few months. Yes, it can be that fast with a wooden structure. And that's not all. Another benefit is that you won’t need to worry about finding craftsmen. Simply put, you won't need them. If you order a house from us in Martinice, we’ll take care of everything. Your only job will be to choose a house from our offer or tell us your ideas, and we will prepare a design for your new home tailored to your needs in collaboration with an architect and designer. Then we will build it as well.

Controlled Production of Parts

The fast construction is thanks to the precise preparation and processing of the various parts of the house. The production of all parts takes place in our production halls in a controlled environment using the most modern technologies. This ensures that all parts of the house are prepared with millimeter precision, fitting together perfectly on the construction site. This is also why the actual building of the house is really fast, and you won’t have to worry about unpleasant surprises that can occasionally occur with brick constructions.

Construction Anytime During the Year Without Wet Processes

A wooden structure can be built any time of the year. The only condition is a well-prepared foundation slab. This is another significant advantage over brick houses, for which suitable climatic conditions are required for construction. In our geographical latitude, the possibility of building brick houses is limited for several months. This limitation does not apply to wooden structures.
Another benefit is that the construction can proceed without wet processes. Therefore, you won’t have to wait for the new house to dry out, which is essential to prevent mold from taking hold in your home. We simply build the house, and you can move into your new home with a pleasant climate.

Durability and Longevity of Wooden Structures

There are many myths circulating on the internet (and elsewhere). One of the most widespread is that a brick structure lasts longer than a wooden one. This is not true. Wooden structures are comparable in terms of durability and longevity to brick ones and can last just as long. The key is to protect the wooden house against moisture. A reliable wooden structure supplier knows how to effectively protect the construction. So do not hesitate to ask what moisture protection measures are used in the house. The foundation is a correct wall design and arrangement of individual layers to ensure that moisture does not condense inside, but can be ventilated away. This is a job for experts. We also differentiate ourselves from our competitors in these crucial details. Ask us how.

Health and Comfort

Wood is a natural material that does not contain toxic substances and does not produce harmful emissions. With a suitably chosen composition of the horizontal structures, a wooden structure can even accumulate heat. Thanks to carefully selected materials and the composition of the wall structure, you will have a pleasant climate at home, even when the heating is turned off. This is known as thermal phase shift, which expresses the time it takes for temperature changes on the outer surface of the structure to manifest on the interior side. But what’s important for you to know is that in winter, your home will have pleasant warmth, and during the summer heat, you won’t be overwhelmed by heat, as the house can maintain a pleasant climate inside regardless of the weather outside.

Low Energy Standard Included

That’s right, all our houses come with a low-energy standard included in the construction cost. Your operating costs will be low, and the comfort of living will be high. Just as you and your loved ones deserve. Wood has natural insulating properties, and in conjunction with the use of quality and correctly applied insulating materials, it creates a pleasant climate and great results in energy management. And if you wish, we will also build you a passive house.

Diffusion-Open Construction

Our houses are diffusion-open. What does that mean? It means that the houses can breathe, resulting in better climate and less moisture buildup in the construction. In simple terms, the construction of the house protects itself because moisture is continuously ventilated and removed from the structure. This means that mold cannot develop inside the walls. All of this is possible because we think of every detail, build according to certified procedures, and use only proven materials of the highest quality, from wood to insulating materials.

Good Acoustic Properties

A common myth is that wooden constructions have poor acoustic properties. On the contrary, a properly constructed wooden building can even have better acoustic parameters than a brick house. However, this is the result of careful preparation, precise work, and the use of the right materials in the correct assembly. Thanks to our long experience and attention to detail, we have truly outstanding results verified by an accredited laboratory at Martinice.

Certification

People feel good living in our houses. Why is that? We use only certified materials and all our production processes meet the demanding requirements set by certification authorities. Each part is manufactured exactly according to certification demands, and we follow the same procedures during the actual construction of the house. This ensures that every customer of ours can trust that everything we promise regarding our houses will indeed be fulfilled. We can also provide proof with the “verified construction” certificate, which is issued by an authorized person from the Research and Development Institute of Woodworking, Prague, s.p., after checking each of our houses and performing a blow door test.

Anchoring Wooden Structures

Every wooden structure needs proper anchoring to the foundation slab, corresponding to the snow and wind zone at the construction site. Therefore, for each building, we design the correct anchoring elements based on static calculations, including their number and method of use. From the beginning, you can know how your house will be anchored. There’s no room for “improvisation” here, as sometimes happens with some of our competitors. The rule is that regardless of whom you order your wooden structure from, you should definitely ask the supplier about anchoring. It’s worth having the assurance that the supplier knows exactly what type of anchoring is needed and how to execute it properly.
