FRAMEWORK

LIGHT

The light wooden framework is based on the use of slender structural elements of treated wood in combination with other materials for thermal insulation, waterproofing, division, fixing and finishing. It is another common structural system in residential architecture.

This type of wooden structure is made up of a set of studs (separated between 40 or 60 centimeters) and wooden sleepers, creating pre-assembled panels with part of the thermal insulation and waterproofing incorporated. The assembly is also carried out on the traditional concrete foundation, with the advantage that the loads due to their own weight are also much lower than those of the traditional wet work.

The exterior enclosures and interior divisions are usually solved with different types of panels fixed to the wooden structure with screws. Regarding the exterior finishes, this system admits a great diversity of materials such as; cementitious plates, plaster, SATE, ventilated facades and even traditional finishes such as brick, stone and other ceramic finishes. When using wooden structural elements such as beams, the interior finish of the ceilings is usually the structure itself.

The facilities run through the interior lining of the façade and the false ceiling under the roof. Thus, installation times are considerably reduced and possible future repairs or modifications are facilitated.

In the interior lining and dividing walls, more layers of insulating material are placed that increase the level of thermal and acoustic insulation. This results in greater interior comfort and energy efficiency.

The materials used to carry out the exterior and interior finishes can be the same as in traditional construction.

PANEL “CLT”

The wooden structures called “CLT” (Cross Laminated Timber) can be translated as Contralaminated Wood Panel, cross laminated wood or contralaminated board. It is a panel made of layers of solid wood of different thicknesses, lathed and glued.

This type of structure is combined with other materials such as thermal insulation, waterproofing, divisions, fixings and finishing. In this case, the solid wood panel itself has excellent thermal and acoustic properties. It is another very widespread structural system in residential architecture.

With this system, a sustainable, ecological home is achieved, with excellent structural features, precise geometry, pleasant, fresh and healthy interiors and excellent fire resistance.

This type of wooden structures are used both for facades and for floors and roofs (vertical, horizontal and inclined structures). The assembly is also carried out on the traditional concrete foundation and the rest of the floors, joining the different panels with special fixings. It is achieved that the loads by own weight are also much lower than those of the traditional wet work.

Interior divisions are usually solved with the same type of panel of different thicknesses. Regarding the exterior finishes, this system admits a great diversity of materials such as; cementitious plates, plasters, SATE and ventilated facades with a wide variety of finishes.

The installations run through the interior cladding of the façade and the false ceiling under the slabs and roofs in areas where the structure is not visible. Thus, installation times are considerably reduced and possible future repairs or modifications are facilitated.

In the case of resolving the interior finish by means of plasterboard lining, it is used to place more layers of insulating material that increase the level of thermal and acoustic insulation.

In this type of structure, the materials used to carry out the exterior and interior finishes may be the same as in traditional construction, but the wood finish of the structure itself usually predominates.

CONCRETE

PRMANUFACTURED

Precast concrete structures are characterized by the use of large panels that can form a direct part of the structure or just the envelope. In each case the thickness of the panels will vary and pillars will be incorporated into the structure if necessary. Large open spaces can be created. It is a very resistant material with great durability.

This type of structure is complemented with other materials for thermal insulation, waterproofing, division, fixing and finishing. In some cases the panel itself incorporates a core of insulating material. It is another very widespread structural system in residential architecture.

Concrete panels are used both for facades and for floors and roofs (vertical, horizontal and inclined structures). The assembly is also carried out on the traditional concrete foundation and the rest of the floors by assembling the different types of panels.

Interior divisions are usually resolved with the same type of panel. Regarding the exterior finishes, this system also admits a great diversity of materials such as; cementitious plates, plasters, SATE and ventilated facades with a wide variety of finishes.

The facilities run through the interior lining of the facades and the false ceiling under the slabs and roofs in areas where the structure is not visible. Thus, installation times are considerably reduced and possible future repairs or modifications are facilitated.

In the case of resolving the interior finish by means of plasterboard lining, it is used to place more layers of insulating material that increase the level of thermal and acoustic insulation.

In this type of structure, the materials used to carry out the exterior and interior finishes can be the same as in traditional construction, but in many cases the concrete surface itself is visible.
