The history of the Kager construction technology is developed from the key concepts of ecological construction, such as environmental sustainability throughout the project's life cycle, the achievement of maximum vital welfare, the optimization of energy resources and, above all, the use of natural and high-performance materials.
La construcción de una casa de madera, de hecho, le permite obtener importante vantageas in terms of health of life, seismic resistance and excellent energy performance only if the construction technology is based on a careful selection of the wood used. All wooden houses made by Kager, consistent with the objective of excellence in quality that characterizes the company, have a structure composed exclusively of laminated wood of certified quality.
La madera laminada, a diferencia de la madera maiza, no tiene limitaciones dimensionales o de forma vinculadas al tamaño del árbol, lo que permite una major libertad en la phase de diseño. The production technology of the laminated wood also improves the degree of drying, guaranteeing a lower moisture content, and reduces the presence of cracks or deformations due to contraction, assuring a considerable stability of the form. This allows avoiding the support of pillars and metal carpentry en estructuras portantes hasta dimensions much greater than the madera maciza.
The product standard to which the certification for laminated wood is applied is the same as for solid wood, EN 14081. Both products are certified with the same level of reliability and security.
El estándar de calidad Kager requires that each step of the elaboration is carried out with the attention to detail that makes especiales nuestras casas prefabricadas de madera.
The nudos present de forma natural en la madera are one of the most beautiful and appreciated aesthetic characteristics of this material, but they represent a potential point of fragility at the structural level, since the cracks are developed from the nudos. Por este motivo, los artisans de Kager eliminated manually todos los nudos presentes, y en su lugar aplican espigas de refuerzo specificas.
Once this phase is finished, the wall assembly process begins, which is carried out by specialized technicians with decades of experience. From the assembly of the load-bearing sections, to the insufflation of the insulating material, to the installation of the wood fiber and natural fiber panels. The realization of each phase inside the Kager factory guarantees the maximum control of the quality level of each module that is sold in the production chain, and the absence of thermal bridges in the walls.
By combining these meticulous processes with high quality materials, Kager guarantees that each prefab house meets the standards of durability, energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal.
