Wooden self-build block: level house and quality of wood

Does the wooden block assembly keep my self-build level?


Self-building of a house

The self-build system wood frame Gablok is currently being eacute;tudied; for a ground floor+1 building.

It is, however, quite possible to imagine a Rez+2 wood-frame building, depending on the stability study.

When the side rail is properly placed level, the insulated wood block assembly will be perfectly vertical up to theétage.

The calibration of our self-build blocks has a tolerance of 0.5 mm. So far, no corrections have had to be made to our redesigns.

How is the structure of the timber frame self-build fixed to the ground?

The wood structure of the self-construction is fixed to the ground with the help of anti-tear bars. The concrete slab is differentiated as for a traditional house.

Then all that remains is for you to follow the structural plan for your self-build. This plan is provided to you on site with the pallet of insulated wood blocks.

Each structure built with Gablok includes a kit of insulated wood blocks. Wooden elements designed to fit together easily and stably.

What about the quality of the wood in the insulating wood blocks?

The wood used for Gablok wood building materials is 18mm thick OSB: a mixture of natural resin and wood flakes (chips).

The wood used for Gablok wood building materials is 18mm thick OSB: a mixture of natural resin and wood flakes (chips).

The special feature of OSB is that the wood that makes it up is ultra compressed. It will therefore not move through time since it does not work.

Your house so remains level with Gablok.
