1-Why house of wood?back to top
Many people ask that question because, given the predominance of large
buildings of masonry in our country, are in doubt about whether the house of
wood really shows its advantages over alternative. There are countries where the
opposite happens, that is, the houses of wood represent the majority of homes.
Some qualities that favor the house of wood from standard Santista:
1-Low costs associated with the design and construction of the house;
2-Speed in implementation, lack of concern with the labor-and mainly be
facing a budget plan, in which the financial costs are lower when compared with
the costs inherent in traditional construction;
3-Rationality of the work without wastage of materials;
4-Good finishes;
5-Ease of maintenance;
6-Facility in the implementation of reforms;
7-Chance of disassembly and change, with little waste of material;
8-Durability of generations;
9-Low cost of conservation;
10-Comfort heat, or the internal temperature of a house of wood is
always stable at any time of year, because it does not reflect inside the
residence with speed variations of temperature outside;
11-Beauty of noble wood;
2-A house of wood needs licensing?back to top
As is true for the construction of houses in masonry, the construction of a
house of wood is subject to the existence of a licensing camarário. 3-The house of wood is really cheaper than that of masonry?back to top
Absolutely. If we consider a house of masonry with the same quality of finish,
certainly in the alternative wood will be more competitive. Both the speed of
assembly, and the ease of finishes, through the various economies on the
building site, the costs involved are significantly smaller in the case of
construction in wood. There is no waste of material because the wood kit
incorporates all structural components of the house (walls, pillars, prumadas,
beams, caibros, slat), in addition to the stops, windows, doors, lining,
footnotes and other items from finishing. Optionally still can be included in
the kit floor, deck, parapeitos and under-coverage. You only have to ask the
foundation of masonry.
4-It takes a lot to build a house of wood?back to top
Typically, within 90 days from the start of the house foundations already will
be ready to be inhabited. It is 20 days for the preparation of the database,
plus 25 days on average for the mounting kit (home of plus or minus 100 m2),
coverage, installation of doors and windows, etc; the remaining 45 days would be
needed to finish, like placement of floors, execution of hydraulic, painting
(varnish or paint), windows and remote execution of the works, such as fences,
lawns, gardens, walkways, gates, etc.. It is common customers complete their
homes within 60 days.
5-A house of wood is safe?back to top
The answer is yes: the walls of wood are so resistant as those of other
materials. If the concern is related to the occurrence of robberies, for
example, we can say that the difficulties or facilities are the same inherent in
any other type of construction, ie, windows, doors, roof are the routes normally
used to access and in this case, both do the construction is masonry or wood. We
always take the precautions common in places where the security is not
guaranteed (placement of bars on windows, alarm systems, surveillance
particular, are procedures that improve safety in any situation or any kind of
construction adopted) .
6-A wooden building is a good investment?back to top
What determines the value of a property is its location, quality of finish,
storage, functionality of the plant, etc.. In this respect, a residence in wood
quality has the same constraints that in masonry construction and also responds
to the factors of the market.
7-I need the workforce specialist?back to top
A workforce needed to build a house Santista is, except the carpenter's kit
assembler, exactly the commercially available for any type of work. That is, the
bricklayer required for the foundation and finishing of the roof, electrician,
plumber, painter, etc.
8-Can I make my own project?back to top
No doubt: in addition to the standard suggested by Santista projects, which aim
to cover a diverse range of needs, the client may not only standard practice
changes in these projects, in order to tailor them to their specific needs, but
also bring their own designs and ideas. Any house of one or two floors, térrea
or on laje, it may be appropriate to the system Santos, often with few changes
in the project or the customer's original idea. The Santista prepare a sketch
for study and orçará the kit based on it, without compromise.
9-What are the innovations made by Santista System?back to top
The system uses Santista building structural walls of wood with
male and female system.
10-What kind of guarantees have when I subscribe to a Santista project?back to top
The warranty is five years for any component of the kit as well as the quality of service of assembly. The client is also entitled to a free technical assistance in the first year after the assembly, for completion of any adjustments that we deem necessary.
11-What is the durability of a house of wood?back to top
Heart of houses made of hardwood, as the houses Santos, last or even more than
one of masonry, requiring very little maintenance, which is limited to the
renewal of varnish or paint, worn when they present themselves. With few care of
the home hardwood generations, always preserving the comfort and beauty of wood
noble.
12-What is the noble wood?back to top
Noble Wood is one that has high durability natural. The wood used by Santos are
the Grápia ( "Apuleia Leiocarpa") and Angelim (Dinizia Excelsea Ducke "), in
addition to the construction of houses are widely used in shipbuilding.
13-What is the origin of wood that are made the kits?back to top
The wood of the kit Santos are originating in northern Brazil, where the lots
are supervised by IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable
Natural Resources).
14-A house of wood is subject to attack from insects?back to top
In homes of wood Santos are used only core of wood with noble resistance and
durability proven. Cerne is the center of the trunk, the most noble, more
resistant to resist the attack of fungi (decay), and insect pests.
15-The wood apodrece under the influence of moisture?back to top
No, the wood not apodrece under the influence of moisture because it is
extremely dense.
16-A house of wood burns easily?back to top
No, the house of wood not burns easily because it has a low rate of burning and
as such do not feed the process of combustion. 17-What about the comfort, in terms of temperature, residence?back to top
The wood is the natural insulation, thermal and acoustic, one of the best
natural insulating both which is used in wiring of pots and decks of the
swimming pools.
18-When it rains water can enter?back to top
The probability of occurrence goteiras a house of wood is the same that exists
in a house of brick, depending on the material of construction used. The
placement of quilts impermeabilizantes (sub-roof) will give greater protection.
19-You can change the house to another location?back to top
Perfectly. If the client resolve disassemble the kit and mount it elsewhere,
simply contact the Santista, which indicate a carpenter able to perform such
tasks. Due to the constructive system, which does not use nails or screws to be
on the roof and in the lining, the use of the material is almost total. Some
losses may occur from items that are turbot, as a lining, slat and details of
finishing (fillets, half cane), although much of these materials can also be
recovered.
20-The acoustic comfort is good?back to top
The sound of an environment is affected by the distribution of mobile, the other
objects of decoration and also the thickness of the walls of massive wood allows
the smooth comportamente this point.
21-How are the wiring and hydraulic?back to top
The hydraulic and electrical installations are very simple to implement, because
it is not required to break the wall for installation of ducts and pipes, as is
usual in the works of masonry. All installations are made passing under the
lining (in the case of the electricity) and on the walls, along with columns,
and in the latter case covered with special pieces of wood that preserve the
aesthetics of the set and completely hide the crowded cable. The pipes of water
and sewage, in most cases, are under the floor. This configuration of circuits
allows a quick and easy access for maintenance and reforms are not necessary
from nothing to implement them.
22-What if I want to change then, extend or eliminate environments in the house. It is easy?back to top
Due to the system used by the constructive Santos, it is fairly simple to
implement changes, additions or removal of walls, provided they made, of course,
by professionals trained by the company.
