Wooden homes: The trend that's taking over the housing market

1. Cheaper and more accessible

Honestly, the final price is the most enticing and one of the main reasons why people are choosing wooden homes. When comparing their price to brick homes, the difference is typically 10-15%, which can be rather significant when millions of crowns are involved. 

2. A greener solution

It's well-known that wood is a renewable resource. With proper forest management, it's a sustainable material that doesn't burden our planet as much as the production and use of concrete or brick materials. 

We often use ground screws as foundations for our homes, which, unlike concrete foundations, are less invasive, do not irreparably damage the soil, and can be reused. Their installation takes just one day, further speeding up the construction process! 

3. High flexibility and availability

Wooden homes can be adapted to various styles and requirements. They certainly don't have to look like log cabins in the woods! You can find many traditional-looking homes as well as modern architectural gems among them. Prefab wooden homes offer much higher availability and speed—you could be living in your new home in just 5 months! 

4. Proven technologies from the West

Many people worry about inferior quality. We're happy to debunk this concern. The trend of wooden homes came to us from the West, where this type of building has been popular for several decades. In Scandinavia, Canada, and the USA, wooden constructions are even the standard, not just for family homes but also for commercial buildings. 

Thanks to proven technologies and years of experience from abroad, this trend is also making its way to us. Modern wooden homes use the latest insulation materials and building methods that must meet strict standards and energy efficiency requirements. With regular maintenance, the lifespan of wooden homes is estimated to be the same as that of brick homes—around 80 years! 

5. Healthy homes

Wood is a natural material that has a positive effect on human health and comfort of living. Did you know that it naturally regulates humidity and indoor air quality? It's the poor humidity inside a home that results in the spread of mould, dust mites, allergens, viruses, and bacteria. Allow your home to properly breathe, you'll breathe better too. 

Many people also use heat recovery systems to enable smart ventilation. Simply put, you use air energy to preheat the fresh outdoor air that's brought back into the house. Thanks to the excellent insulating properties of wood, a pleasant microclimate can be maintained inside the home.

The future of housing

The trend of wooden homes is constantly growing, and it's no wonder. They offer a cheaper, greener, and more affordable solution for modern living. With flexible design options and proven technologies, they are the go-to choice for those looking for healthy, comfortable, and sustainable living.
