Modern wood frame building technology has been used in modern lands for many years as a proven system.
Wood Frame Construction Versus Concrete Construction - Comparing the Cost
For house owners, wood frame housing is cost-competitive, and provides a high rate of useful space. For developers and builders, building using wood fram construction can be economically beneficial.
Strength & Durability - Long Lasting Wood Frame Construction
With proper building techniques and technologies, concerns such as moisture, termites, fire, typhoons, and earthquakes can be well-addressed. Wood frame construction can last for generations.
How to Install a Window in a Wood-Frame Building
Windows are perhaps the most vulnerable component in the exterior building envelope. Correct installation can avoid many moisture problems, thereby enhancing the durability of the building. Here we are going to to show you how to correctly install a window in a wood frame house.
Energy Efficiency - Building a Green Tomorrow
Wood is the most energy efficient natural building resource available to us. Its use in construction ensures a comfortable home, while limiting resource depletion during production of materials and through the lifespan of the home.
Fire Safety - The Truth About Modern Wood Frame Construction
When it comes to fire safety, wood frame homes are just as safe, and in some cases even safer, than structures built with other materials. Wood Frame Construction in China is back - better and safer than ever before.
