Wooden construction enters the country

2024-08-13 -

A model case in the San Matías de Escobar neighborhood - 100% in wood and a multilaminated beam of exceptional dimensions. A work carried out by Madera Newton with the support of the Chamber of Wood, with the aim of showing how wood construction is consolidated as a sustainable, fast and safe alternative for the construction, expansion or remodeling of new works and houses.

?Currently, the wood construction market in Argentina is in a sustained growth process, despite the difficulties that occur along the way. Compared to 10/20 years ago, you can see a significant change in the demand and the supply of constructions with wood, ?explains Daniel Vier, president of Cadamda. ?In fact, a few years ago, wood was not considered a relevant construction material in Argentina and was mainly used for decorative elements or in rural constructions. However, due to the need to build more efficient and sustainable homes, wood is increasing He states: ?A few years ago there was no house under construction Wood Frame in the closed neighborhoods of the GBA; Today it can be estimated that at least one or two every hundred are already of this type of construction ?especially in closed country and neighborhoods, its use increases exponentially because it is more resistant to fire (despite the myth erroneously installed), it has less impact environmental than steel. Pure natural beauty, permanently CO2, provides serenity and reduces stress. Solid in its Wood Frame system - which is used by 90% of the houses in the countries of the northern hemisphere and the one used in this wonderful house of San Matías - and even more consisting of its use as CLT, as Use throughout the world for skyscrapers and buildings of more than 25 floors. The model of the Northern North Wooden Hemisphere Thermal As in Canada, the United States and much of Europe. Australia, Japan and other great metropolis are even joining. But the wood is not only part of architecture, but also represents the lifestyle and culture of northern Europe. A way of life that is gradually traveling to the south. The large extensions of forests that cover most of the Nordic territory make it an accessible and economical element for construction. It becomes an excellent material to maintain a warm temperature inside the home. It provides raw material for population products, such as homes, furniture, papers, energy, chemicals, replacing in many cases the use of non -renewable products from mining and fossil fuels. With new technologies, such as nanotechnology and biorephineries, countless other applications are added. Wood is a natural and sustainable resource that, due to its response speed, the available capacity of the forest resource and industrial processing, allows you to energize Employment and regional economies, adding value to the raw material from forests cultivated as well as by the clear environmental, economic and constructive benefits of the systems used. It is a value chain that has a multiplier effect from the seed, planting, resin and all its derivatives, forest management, roll harvest, fine roll destination for cellulose and paper and rolls for sawmable wood, waste use such as chip and chip for renewable energy generation, wood and moldings for construction and homes with wood and furniture, among other uses.Innovation in construction: The work of Wood Frame in Escobarmaderera Newton, architect of this spectacular work, explains how they are carrying out this impressive single -family housing located in the San Matías neighborhood, in Escobar, province of Buenos Aires. This project stands out for its innovative use of the Wood Frame construction system and a remarkable structural peculiarity: a multilaminated beam of exceptional dimensions, they explain in the company. The house, with approximately 350 square meters covered, has been built using the Wood Frame system, known for its efficiency and sustainability. The structural specifications are as follows: ? Walls: 2 × 5 squads, providing a solid and efficient base ? Entries: 2 × 10 squads, ensuring a robust and stable structure ? Ceilings: 2 × 8 squads, guaranteeing lasting coverage and Resistant. These beams are not only notable for their dimensions, but also for their support capacity in critical areas of the house they say. ? Front of the quincho: with a support of 7 meters, these beams provide a solid and stable structure for the front of the barbecue, a space that combines functionality and aesthetics.
