Thermal Insulation

To achieve a level of adequate insulation against cold and overheating of the house, use mineral fibers (can also be derived from wood, such as cork, recycled paper expanded).

Buildings of logs from 140mm, do not necessarily need any additional insulation.

The heat transfer coefficient (W/m2C) of the houses varies from 0.3 to 0.81 (depends on type of structure). This clearly exceeds the maximum required by the standard NBE CT-79: between 1.20 and 0.60 and 1.03 for decks in the facades.

With such a level of isolation can be achieved savings of 30% - 40% on heating and cooling of the building compared to traditional buildings.

Who like the wood in your home insurance will install wooden doors and windows. Good choice, you get an economic benefit because the windows and glass doors made of wood with a double or triple glazing provide maximum energy savings. The thermal coefficient (W/m2C) of these windows - doors can vary from 3.0 to 1.7 (Points of comparison: Sash double glazed with 6mm camera: k = 4. Window with a single crystal: k = 5.8) exterior wood doors are thermally insulated with a coefficient (k = 0.55) More information:
