Is placed between the stiles and rails insulation that allows this technique to provide excellent thermal and acoustic performance.
The wall thus formed then receives a lining (plasterboard, paneling …) and an outer coating (wood siding, paneling, stone, brick, plaster …).

RT 2012 standards

Build a house in technology that meets the new regulations establish RT 2012 thermal minima of energy expenditure during the operation of buildings.

Below, the different possibilities of technology wood frame corresponding to the RT 2012 standard:

with the thermal coefficient U (W / m² K) for exterior walls:

0.140 W / m² K with insulation 300 mm

0.163 W / m² K with insulation 250 mm

0.194 W / m² K with 200 mm insulation

with the thermal coefficient U (W / m² K) for the roof panel or non-furnished attic:

0.126 W / m² K with insulation 350 mm

0.143 W / m² K with insulation 300 mm

0.163 W / m² K with insulation 250 mm

However, in recent years, like American achievements, the solid wood stacked architecture allows to achieve more modern contemporary homes playing on volumes, the glass surfaces or colors.

WOOD USED FOR CONSTRUCTION (HOUSE, WOODEN CHALET) PLANKS STACKED

Our log cabins are made of white spruce North and treated in our workshops with an impregnating fungicide, insecticide and repellent that is environmentally friendly.

Planks that make up the walls and partitions of your cottage are notched and grooved, with a thickness of 70 mm. We are in a technical construction cottage solid wood.

All wooden parts are first choice.

CONSTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUE OF WOODEN CHALETS

The traditional wooden chalets are built according to the conventional technique known as “stacked log walls.”

This technique can deliver houses kit, self-construction.

The planks are pieces of wood stacked on top of each other, form the walls and partition walls of your home.
