DOUBLE MASONRY
1. Masonry insulation
2. Wooden reinforcement wedge
3.Self-adhesive waterproofing tape
4. Insulating material for corner connection
5. Metal tightening cord
6.Non-stick Finnish masonry
7. Asphalt membrane
8. Metal compaction angle
1. Masonry insulation
It is placed between the two parts of the double masonry, vertically increasing the thermal conductivity index. It can be either expanded polystyrene or mineral wool, depending on the customer’s choice.
2. Wooden reinforcement wedge
It works as a link between the logs but also as reinforcement. It consists of wood of the same quality as the masonry. It further strengthens the construction for greater resistance to stress from horizontal loads.
3.Self-adhesive waterproofing tape
Its double application to each log separately, further strengthens the tightness of the construction and offers absolute insulation to your new home.
4. Insulating material for corner connection
Insulating material is applied to the corner joints of the logs, which offers optimal thermal insulation and tightness in the construction, improving the thermal behavior of the house.
5. Metal tightening cord
Metal galvanized screws that are screwed into the masonry and strengthen it due to their mechanical properties and strength. They offer an improved joint in the masonry by increasing the clamping between the logs.
6.Non-stick Finnish masonry
We use exclusively Finnish non-glued wood that does not crack and exhibits increased fire resistance compared to conventional wood. It has an ideal moisture content (12%-14%) due to dryer treatment. It is the optimal solution for the construction of the new residence.
7. Asphalt membrane
These are waterproofing sheets that are placed at the base of every wooden wall. They protect the trunks from damage that could be caused by moisture on the support base.
8. Metal compaction angle
With these metal corners, the construction is perfectly connected to the reinforced concrete base. In this way, we have a “bonded” construction with increased mechanical strength and improved anti-seismic behavior.
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL PERFORMANCE U MASONRY BY CLIMATE ZONE
(the lower the U number of your climate zone (region), the more insulation needed)
