Why KOFINAS House?

OR continuous production masonry of the company KOFINAS, gives us the advantage of being able to import large quantities building materials. With the mass import are achieved best prices and thus we are able to purchase the "expensive" (for Greek construction standards) building materials which are the highest quality on the world market.

The Canexel masonry cladding, which is:

the most advanced wood cladding system, from the world leader in the manufacture of composite wood products, LP, which has chosen the company Kofinas for its exclusive distribution in Greece and Cyprus. It is:

• Waterproof and durable: Canexel linings are made from wood fibers, resin and wax and are therefore extremely stable and waterproof, with a 25-year warranty.
• Pre-finished: which means that the coating has been factory-impregnated with the color of your choice from the company's rich color palette and does not peel or dull, which is why it provides a 15-year warranty on the finish.

The Kofinas company manufactures the masonry entirely in the factory using the TORX stud follows always and strictly the following production steps of the company:

Factory construction ensures perfect fit of the individual sections of each wall and the zero relaxation them in time.

The finished sections of the masonry function as monolithic bodies, that is, as load-bearing walls, which obey any oscillation. This ensures the high seismic resistance and above all the robustness and durability of the Kofinas construction.

The KOFINAS company is able to adapt any existing residential plan or design a new idea from scratch, in order to support the “design for everyone”, ensuring access for people with disabilities.

The Kofinas company pioneer, since the technical imperfections that were due to the on-site construction of the masonry on the plot belong to the distant past.

Ready-made factory masonry

The factory-made masonry sections are loaded in privately owned trucks and cranes, which are transported ready to the plot and they agree on the concrete platform. The assembly is done wall-to-wallin a short period of time.

Leveling with a laser level

The placement of the walls on the platform is done using a laser walker, which angles and levels the walls in a horizontal and vertical plane with absolute accuracy.

The Kofinas company does not stop at theoretical study, but goes even further and invests in the experimental research in collaboration with National Technical University of Athens! In 2009, the response of the company's structural system to seismic action is tested with the use of the NTUA seismic simulatorThe unquestionable results confirm the durability and quality of our constructions.

In 2011 we go even further and a new experiment is being carried out in three-story structure Kofinas, with equally impressive results!

Despite the objective certification that the above studies offered us we continue today with new research…

The Kofinas residences proven and not generalizing constitute fully earthquake-resistant structuresThe company, being confident in the robustness of its masonry, did not remain at a theoretical level but also tested certified the robustness through scientific research.

The screw, which is robotically placed in all the structural parts of the house, the metal connecting plates, with which we “tie” the construction, the over-dimensioning supporting organism through mechanical design and the reinforcement, at stress points, through a special static program, are technical advantages which encouraged leading scientists to speak publicly for the seismic resistance of Kofinas structures.

The Kofinas company, as a member of the Hellenic Passive Building Institute, is able to implement fully passive design structuresBy implementing solutions ventilation and heat recovery in the company's existing leading building system, we are able to construct homes that practically require zero costs for their cooling and heating.

It is obvious that the constructions of the Kofinas company exceed the requirements of the Greek energy performance regulation for buildings (KENAK).

The KOFINAS construction, in addition to the maximum thermal insulation of its masonry with a thermal transmittance coefficient reaching 0.09 W/m2K, can offer you plenty of options in order to maximize the energy efficiency of your new home, which has not only an ecological impact, but also reduces costs of the household.

Our company possesses the technology and know-how to measure and ensure the excellent energy and thermal insulation performance of the buildings it constructs.

The company Kofinas, meeting the environmental, social and economic criteria, became member of green entrepreneurship in Green Banking Portal of Piraeus Bank. Piraeus Bank created this space in which businesses and investors interact that are demonstrably related to "Green Entrepreneurship" and more specifically with activities such as:

• Renewable Energy Sources (RES)
• Energy Saving
• Alternative Waste and Water Management
• Green Chemistry
• Green Transportation
• Organic Agriculture
• Ecotourism – Agrotourism

All the materials we use at Kofinas for the construction of our homes are selected to do not put your health at risk in the slightest and have the least possible environmental impactThat's why our wood is kiln-dried, it is not impregnated with chemicals, like green wood. click to see our ecological timber certificate, Knauf plasterboards are made from natural gypsum and have undergone biological testing by an international body, and the adhesives are certified suitable for residential use.

We believe that the natural solution is the best solution and we apply this to every home we build.

Furthermore, the collaborating Swedish factory, in complete respect for the natural environment, plants one tree for every tree it cuts. new seedlings.

Every residence constructed by the Kofinas company can be delivered to the customer at any stage he wishes:

• Do it yourself (“kit”)
• Stage 1 (“incomplete”)
• Stage 2 (“complete”)

We propose solutions to complete your home even more financesWe can deliver the house to you in kit form or in incomplete form (stage 1) and with instructions for the remaining work required, as well as the recommendation of specialized crews and a responsible foreman so that you can complete it in stage 2.

So, depending on the stage you choose, you can win up to 30% of the total construction cost of your house.
