Why build a house on a wooden structure?
Top quality work is done with only the best quality materials.
In our constructions, we place great emphasis on selecting materials that meet the highest standards of performance, durability and sustainability.
All the wood we use is supplied by our partners at HASSLACHER. This company is internationally recognized for its high quality wood products and commitment to sustainability. The wood from HASSLACHER is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified, which guarantees that it comes from responsibly managed forests. This wood not only provides a natural and warm aesthetic, but also provides excellent structural strength, essential for the durability of our constructions.
Jointed structural timber (KVH) – Strength class C24
Tooth-jointed structural timber, also known as KVH (Konstruktionsvollholz), is a high-quality construction material manufactured in a controlled environment. This product stands out for its well-defined technical characteristics, being developed specifically to meet the strict requirements of modern wooden constructions.
Benefits
- High load capacity with low density
- Dimensionally stable due to technical drying
- High fire resistance and chemical resistance
- High thermal insulation properties
- Massive timber without glued joints
- Maximum safety in the joint of the teeth thanks to the conformal tensile test. with Austrian standard B 4125 or ETA-13/0644
- Transparent line of glue in the joint of the teeth
The production process of KVH lumber involves careful selection of wood, controlled drying and jointing by tooth technology, which ensures increased strength and excellent dimensional stability. These properties make KVH timber an ideal choice for various structural applications, such as the construction of timber houses, load-bearing structures, roofs and walls.
In addition, due to its precise and rigorous manufacturing process, KVH lumber offers the advantage of extended durability and superior resistance to warping and cracking. It is also treated to be resistant to pests and climatic influences, thus ensuring a long life and consistent performance over time.
In conclusion, KVH finger-jointed structural timber represents an innovative and reliable solution for contemporary timber construction, optimally combining the traditional qualities of wood with advanced processing technologies to meet the most demanding standards of quality and performance in the construction industry.
Laminated beams (BSH) - Strength class GL24c
Laminated beams, also known as BSH (Brettschichtholz), are recognized for their exceptional strength and versatility in terms of available sizes and shapes. Classified in GL24c strength class, these beams offer an optimal combination of robustness and flexibility, being ideal for various structural applications in modern constructions.
Benefits
- The best form of innovation: straight, curved and in special shapes
- Long lengths
- High load capacity with low density
- High dimensional stability due to bonding
- Quick and dry construction method
- It can be worked with simple tools
- High fire resistance and chemical resistance
- High thermal insulation properties
- Natural, renewable and 100% recyclable building material
The manufacture of laminated beams involves gluing together several layers of wood, a process that not only increases mechanical strength, but also minimizes deformations caused by variations in humidity and temperature. This technology allows the realization of beams with large lengths and sections, which would be impossible to obtain from a single piece of solid wood.
GL24c laminated beams are frequently used in construction due to their ability to support high loads and span generous spans without intermediate supports. They are used in structures such as industrial halls, shopping centers, sports halls and residential buildings, providing both structural stability and architectural aesthetics.
In addition, thanks to the advanced manufacturing process, laminated beams are resistant to cracks and deformations, ensuring extended durability and predictable behavior over time. They are also treated to be resistant to fire and pest attack, thus ensuring the safety and longevity of the constructions.
In conclusion, GL24c laminated beams are a reliable solution for modern construction projects, offering superior performance, design flexibility and a long service life.
CLT-Cross Laminated Timber
CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) is a solid wood construction material made up of several layers of wood placed perpendicular to each other. This layered structure gives CLT outstanding physical and mechanical properties, making it a highly versatile and efficient material for various applications in modern construction.
Benefits
- Sanded or calibrated surface for all qualities
- Flexible dimensions up to 3.20 mx 20.0 m
- The room climate is pleasant, comfortable
- Quick and easy assembly
- Lower own weight than reinforced concrete
- The highest earthquake safety ratings
- High fire resistance and chemical resistance, high thermal insulation properties
- Environmentally friendly and durable building material
Due to the way the layers are arranged, CLT offers excellent dimensional stability and increased strength in all directions. This allows the material to dissipate loads in an even manner, thus ensuring superior structural performance compared to traditional wood materials. This ability to distribute loads makes it ideal for use in large-scale construction such as commercial, residential, school and other public structures.
In addition to its excellent mechanical properties, CLT also stands out for its excellent thermal insulation properties. Multiple layers of wood contribute to high energy efficiency, reducing heat loss and helping to create comfortable and energy efficient interior spaces. This aspect makes CLT a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings.
In addition, CLT is valued for its architectural versatility, allowing for innovative and flexible designs. The material can be easily processed to fit various shapes and sizes, offering design freedom and the possibility to create aesthetic and functional structures.
In conclusion, CLT represents a modern and efficient solution for wooden constructions, combining strength and stability with exceptional thermal insulation properties and sustainability. This innovative material contributes to the development of sustainable, energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing buildings, adapted to the contemporary requirements of the construction industry.

Why choose a house on a wooden structure?
ORGANIC
Wood is a renewable raw material. Thanks to light, photosynthesis transforms carbon dioxide from the air and soil into wood. In addition, the cost of heating during the winter and of air conditioning during the summer is a lower one, because the internal-external heat exchange is much more difficult.
EFFICIENT
Building with wood is fast and efficient. Wooden buildings can be built all year round in most climates, without using special additives. The wood can be processed, joined and sanded easily.
ACCESSIBLE PRICE
Houses with a wooden structure use little material and require less labor than those made of concrete and brick or solid wood and rarely require special equipment on the construction site.
VARIED ARCHITECTURE
Thanks to the use of lattice beams and laminated wood, openings of up to 12 meters are allowed. The prefabricated building elements are delivered to the site quickly.
FAST
The duration of the site is significantly shorter, compared to that of a brick/pillar/concrete site. By using our materials and technologies, the installation of the wooden structure can take between 6 and 12 days.
REDUCED WEIGHT
Our structures are characterized by low weight, with a high bearing capacity. The calculation programs used guarantee the economical use of materials and safety by complying with the rules in force.
