Technology and construction

13 layers make a house worth living in

A steel frame, passive mineral wool insulation, a vapour barrier, OSB boards and Vinylit cladding. A year-round house built to the WT2021/WT2025 standard.

Key materials

The six pillars of our technology

100×50 mm sections

Steel frame

A solid base. Light but strong, and indifferent to both weather and pests.

KNAUF 20 cm · λD=0.035

Thermal insulation

Mineral wool, 20 cm as standard, or PUR foam. Warm in winter, cool in summer.

Mineral wool

Acoustic insulation

Mineral wool is an excellent sound insulator — quiet, comfortable rooms.

Vapour barrier membrane

Vapour barrier

Blocks moisture from inside the house. Protection against mould, fungus and condensation.

10 mm walls · 22 mm floor

OSB boards

Structural stiffening for walls and floor, and a finished base ready for the interior.

Long service life

Vinylit cladding

Cladding panels that resist pests and weather alike. Good looks and thermal performance together.

Ecology

Choices that are kinder to the environment

Vinylit, solar panels, recycled materials — technology that looks after your bills and the planet at the same time.

  • Solar panels (optional) — renewable energy
  • Vinylit made from recycled material — a smaller carbon footprint
  • Long service life means fewer replacements and less waste
  • Thermal performance brings heating costs down
  • Resistance to pests reduces maintenance
