FACTORY-MADE PACKAGE
Timber frame wall elements: As a result of product development, the prefab exterior wall elements were also equipped with a finishing layer of cement facade panels, in addition to installing windows and doors and ensuring readiness for electrical works. So far, the only finishing materials available for exterior wall elements were timber and metal.

Installing of the cement facade panels in the factory allows to save a significant amount of time during the construction works, and, hence, also money, as there is no need to treat the exterior finishing layer in any way on-site. The cement facade panels are durable, weatherproof and maintenance-free. The facade panels give the building a modern look.

Timber frame roof elements: in order to avoid using load-bearing interior walls in the whole extent of the first floor, glued timber beams were used for the load-bearing structure of the roof elements. The glued timber framework enables manufacturing of roof elements with a span of up to 15 meters. The roof elements were covered with bitumen roofing on-site.
