The purchase of a house of wood to a supplier and serious constructor is not an adventure. Every day will be more habitual, since this market has in the last been duplicating to its sales years and will follow an ascending growth until reaching the habitual percentage in the countries of our surroundings.

La garantía del plazo de entrega y precio cerrado, le evitará sorpresas habituales y poco agradables, comunes en otro tipo de construcciones. Cuando usted decide comprar una vivienda de madera, no sólo adquiere un espacio habitable sino que elige una forma de vida más saludable y más acorde con el medio ambiente. Este tipo de vivienda, sólida y resistente, ha sido durante generaciones, y sigue siendo en la actualidad, la casa tradicional de los países nórdicos y Canadá, en los que el clima somete la construcción a las más duras pruebas. La regulación natural de la humedad y su capacidad de conservar el calor, le proporcionan una gran economía en calefacción (la madera maciza aísla aproximadamente 5 veces más que el ladrillo). La absorción de ruidos tanto en exteriores como interiores. La baja radioactividad de este material, similar a la natural; 80 mr. /año, muy lejos de los 204 mr. /año del cemento. La mínima distorsión del campo electrónico natural y el equilibrio lógico que incide positivamente en la salud evitando los síntomas de "edificio enfermo" como estrés, fatiga, resfriados, alergias, etc. Las casas de madera son de fácil limpieza.

4. - It harms the sun to the houses?

It does not harm to them, whenever they are protected of rays GRAPE by means of suitable treatments. In addition all the products with which our houses are dealt are with watery base and fulfill the strictest tests on environmental contamination. AENOR of 00/095 environmental management CGM and the mark of quality CIDEMCO for tests on degradation and permeability EN-927. In extreme conditions of little humidity, solar radiations and high temperatures of Spain have behaved perfectly, even with an excellent answer. The experience in the constructions realised in other countries with greater implantation has not detected any problem.

5. - Whatever takes in constructing a wood house?

Following the size, the duration of the assembly can oscillate from 1 to 3 months. Occasionally, this period can be longer by accumulations of assemblies. Nevertheless the wood houses have a great advantage with respect to a normal construction, once finished the assembly it is not necessary to hope to that the humidity or to that disappears become stabilized the forged ones, and therefore the house is inhabitable immediately. This makes agile the times of construction considerably. To the company/signature of the order, we confirmed the date of arrival of the merchandise and the one to him of work conclusion.

These constructions fulfill the law of the basic norm of the construction as far as the fire resistance. One of the factors that cause more rejection towards the wood construction in Spain is its supposed facility of combustion. Nevertheless, the behavior of a wood house before a fire is better than other constructions with another type of materials. A metallic structure can collapse soon after beginning a fire due to the great deformations that take place in the metallic elements and to their loss of resistance. On the other hand, the concrete construction can get to be uninhabitable following the range and, although the structure follows still on, in many occasions is not more remedy than to demolish it.
A house of wood structure is protected thanks to the set of layers that form the wall and that increase to their resistance and stability before the fire. The materials that are used as coating and isolation can contribute to also slow down the action of the fire. In any case, he is simpler to repair the damages caused in a wood house that in a traditional one, since often it would be enough with changing the inner small board (it is necessary to consider that the majority of fires is originated in the interior by negligences, because a curtain burns, a sofa, an electrical crossing, etc.). No type of construction is non-flammable; all burns before the fire.

Our wood houses are constructed with trunks of very slow growth, which gives rise to the formation of a compact wood, of extreme hardness and sum resistance.
On the other hand, the fact that all wood dedicated to the construction nowadays is previously dealt with preparations against the humidity and the parasites and with solar protective products, it guarantees one long life to this type of construction, that in these conditions can survive throughout several generations without great deteriorations, only with a good maintenance.

9. - On what the wood houses are based?

If an open pore varnish is applied to them that approximately allows to its sweating every 4 - 5 years, its outer conservation will be optimal and the effects of the sun, imperceptible, as it demonstrates one long tradition of wood houses in zones of sun and high temperatures.

12. - The wood houses are cold or I warm up?

They are insulating. To the being the wood a thermal product, far better isolates the interior of the temperatures outer that other materials, whether it is a question of cold or heat.

13. - Can be installed heating, conditioned air or chimney in the wood house?

All of them can be installed and we can offer estimated to him customized for each of them. The price of each of these options can vary enough, following the benefits and qualities. The wood houses are those that more isolated are and need only a quarter heat or cold and therefore with economic elements as the electrical radiators of the modern type (blue heat) of low consumption hardly 300 to 500 watts or conditioned air with heat pump, an element in each plant is sufficient for the little heat or cold that needs these houses, and even heating of diesel oil or radiating ground. Everything can be applied but with moderation because they are very stable with the heat and the cold.

14. - What guarantee has a wood house?

16. - I must in advance pay to something when signing the contract?

The houses make to size by order and. That is to say, all the planks that will form the house are cut to size and they will not serve for no other house. It is for that reason that when it signs the contract and before it begins the manufacture process will have to pay an amount as a reserve.

Yes, because they are authentic houses, considered real estate, since they are constructed trunk trunk in the work and they are not prefabricated (they are not transported mounted from factory). Our houses are anchored to a concrete base, the base is equal to a traditional house, which in addition eliminates the possibility of moving them later. Therefore real estate is considered.

20. - They are possible to be constructed in rustic and urban lands?

Each independent community and city council own a different norm on the matter.

21. - How much costs the municipal work permission?

Each city council has its own tariff, reason why it will be due to consult the municipal organisms. .

22. - Need planes architect to build a wood house?

Yes. The planes are not standard, since they modify for each client, based on the land, location of the house, etc. With the certificate of end of work of the architect, the client will obtain the certificate of habitability and bulletins for the water provisions, light, gas and will be able to realise the new work declaration and to obtain the license of first occupation for the house on the part of the City council and thus to be able to empadronar.
