Wall cross-sections

Our way

of building

Timber frame construction primarily offers unlimited possibilities in wall cross-section combinations, resulting in significant variations in price, insulation, and even soundproofing. We have selected three cross-sections that represent a balanced option between price and quality.

We would like to emphasize that in the construction of our homes, we do not use polystyrene or spray polyurethane foam, which allows us to reduce costs. Furthermore, overly airtight sealing of external partitions hinders the building's breathability and may lead to unwanted moisture, as not everyone uses heat recovery ventilation or proper building ventilation.

One of the undeniable advantages of timber frame and energy-efficient construction is its rapid realization time, which takes only a few months. Contrary to "our native" stereotypes, this construction is very durable and long-lasting. Many houses that have survived a hundred or more years are a testament to the effectiveness of this technology worldwide. We invite you to our knowledge base, and we will be happy to answer any questions.
