FAQ

Yes . If you do not yet have land, through the consultancy of a Kager technician, it is possible to understand the customer's needs to understand the main characteristics that the future construction must have.We will thus be able to advise which characteristics the land should have , for example to optimize construction and logistics costs by choosing an area where large vehicles can reach the construction site, or which is sufficiently flat to reduce excavation and foundation work. We will also be able to give indications on the solar exposure that the land must have, to better orient the project with a view to energy saving and greater energy production through photovoltaic panels.

Yes . It is possible to offer the Customer useful technical and commercial information even when the architectural project is not yet available.

We do not have a catalog with standard models and price lists as we only build custom-made , unique and non-replicable homes. The projects on our website in the photo gallery or on our brochure can represent a starting point for new designs, but they cannot be replicated in respect of the customers who have entrusted us with the construction of their home.

To build a turnkey wooden house it takes about 5 months . In light of the difficult period we are going through, which has led to problems with the availability of materials not dependent on our work, these times could be slowed down.

Yes . The "turnkey" solution includes all works with the exception of: excavations, filling and foundations, sewerage works, construction site preparation, urbanization costs, architectural project, works management and safety coordination, land.

Yes . In the "advanced rough" solution, in addition to what is excluded from the "turnkey" construction, systems and finishes are also excluded.

We are producers and builders of residential homes exclusively on project, unique and non-replicable. For this reason we do not have a predefined price list : the cost of each of our creations is defined by the architectural and technological characteristics of that project, defined on the basis of the Customer's needs.

We build residential houses for sizes starting from 150 – 200 net square meters .

There are no limits to the number of floors a house built with Kager construction technology can have.

Kager construction technology is designed to maximize thermal insulation in the winter months, reduce energy consumption to a minimum and maintain the air quality in the home at optimal levels. We adopt natural materials with high thermal performance which allow us to limit heat dispersion. In intense cold conditions, with the heating systems deactivated, the temperature inside the house drops by only 1°C in 24 hours .

Each wooden house made by Kager Italia is classified exclusively in energy class A4 or as a "passive house" .

The materials with which a Kager wooden house is built are certified fire resistant, guaranteeing maximum safety for the occupants even in the event of fire .In particular, the wood fibers used by Kager are self-extinguishing, this means that they do not produce flame but only smoke. Furthermore, in all the walls there is a plasterboard sheet which allows us to obtain the REI 60 certification.

Several studies confirm that wooden houses are by their nature anti-seismic, thanks to the mechanical qualities typical of this material which ensures resistance even to strong earthquakes . In particular, each Kager wooden house adopts fixing and anchoring systems designed and guaranteed by an anti-seismic report, which is supplied to the Customer.

Kager wooden houses are not affected by humidity as the construction system provides complete insulation at the foot with the use of high-performance sheaths. Furthermore, our homes are completely breathable structures, which guarantee the total absence of humidity stagnation.

Yes , it is possible to equip the house with an energy storage system designed according to the customer's needs.

Yes , all Kager wooden houses are equipped with a heat pump system, which represents the most ecological technological solution with the best energy efficiency.

Depending on the environmental conditions in which the house will be built, it is possible to have different types of renewable energy systems: photovoltaic, solar thermal and geothermal .

It is possible to have an underfloor or ducted heating system .

It is possible to have a ducted or direct expansion air cooling system .

Thermal insulation represents one of the most important strengths of Kager construction technology. In winter the data that measures protection from the cold is the thermal coefficient, which for our walls is between 0.10 and 0.14 W/m2 K.Protection from heat, on the other hand, is measured with the phase shift, which indicates the difference in time between the time in which the maximum temperature is recorded on the external surface of the structure and the time in which the maximum temperature is recorded on the internal surface of the structure. itself. For a Kager wooden house the phase shift is between 10 and 14 hours .Both data (thermal coefficient and phase shift) are valid for both walls and roof.

Kager wooden houses use premium natural materials that exceed every industry standard, such as high-density wood fiber , capable of guaranteeing the best energy performance and being environmentally sustainable at the same time.

For all our creations we pay great attention in the design phase to adopt architectural measures that further improve the thermal insulation of the home. For example, the orientation of the house plays an important role , with an exposure towards the south-west which enhances the brightness in the winter months and, at the same time, limits the radiation in the summer months through shading structures such as porches, in addition to the presence of openings. smaller ones facing north .

Kager wooden houses are equipped with active blinds mounted on the frames, capable of actively controlling radiation, and controlled mechanical ventilation systems (VMC) to control humidity, temperature and air quality.

Yes , we build houses exclusively from projects and we do not replicate the projects created.

There are no limits to the customization possibilities of our wooden houses. This aspect characterizes all our creations and distinguishes us from other manufacturing companies due to the maximum freedom of customization and attention to detail.

The frames are available in wood, white or colored PVC, PVC-aluminium, wood-aluminium, aluminium . All the proposed fixtures are equipped with triple glazing, with internal and external safety glass.

No , Kager construction technology provides that there are no limits for furnishings. Unlike other construction technologies, all the walls of our wooden houses can support hanging elements with a maximum capacity of 60 kg per hanging point.
