For many years, wood-frame construction has been providing the world with high-quality, affordable housing. This goes from town houses to multi-storey apartment buildings, and from single-family bungalows to large luxury houses. Wood frame houses are economical to build, heat and cool, and provide maximum comfort to occupants. Wood shells are approximately 1/2 of the cost of a comparable concrete shell. Wood construction is easily adapted to traditional, contemporary and most futuristic building styles. Its architectural possibilities are limitless. |

Unlike concrete and steel construction, wood construction is much easier to insulate. Condensation and thermal bridging across the wood are minimized which make wood frame houses much more efficient to heat in the winter and cool in the summer. Nascor has taken this one step further by developing the Energard wall system. The system incorporates structurally superior I-columns into the wall design along with a rigid insulation. The Energard wall design further reduces thermal bridging and increases the overall R-value of the walls. |
