Insulation

Insulating wooden houses is essential to ensure thermal comfort and energy efficiency. Insulation can be applied to walls, roofs, and floors. Our garden rooms and wooden houses come with several insulation options:

Standard Formula: No special insulation, apart from the structure itself in 34mm, 44mm, or 68mm thickness.

“+” Formula: The exterior walls of the houses are doubled with a second wall of the same thickness or with a more decorative cladding.

Silver Formula: In addition to this second wall, the floor and ceiling are also doubled, with the addition of 50mm thick expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels (see description below).

Gold Formula: For a home suitable for year-round living, this premium version uses 100mm polyurethane (PIR) panels (see description below). These provide superior thermal insulation, significantly reducing heat loss and ensuring maximum indoor comfort. Additionally, the frames of external doors and windows are made of PVC, helping to minimize heat loss through these openings.

Here are the elements of our houses that are affected by these different insulation options:

Wall Insulation: Wall insulation is crucial for maintaining a stable indoor temperature. The insulating materials used are expanded polystyrene (EPS) and polyurethane (PIR) foam. These materials are typically inserted between the wooden structure’s posts. The density and thickness of the insulation depend on the local climate and energy requirements.

Roof Insulation: Roof insulation is just as important to prevent heat loss through the upper part of the building. Insulating panels or rolls are commonly used for this purpose.

Floor Insulation: Floor insulation helps prevent heat loss through the ground. This can be done by placing insulation between the floor joists or underneath the floor itself. Proper floor insulation also enhances thermal comfort in wooden houses.

Ventilation: Ensuring proper ventilation is essential for occupant health and preventing humidity issues. Controlled ventilation and heat recovery systems can further improve energy efficiency.
