Project description
The aim was to build the first Cross Laminated (CLT) Sustainable house in Greece and Cyprus.
Studies for this type of construction are almost 20 years old and have confirmed that this is the way forward, as also SG promotes.
Timber is a carbon sink and is the one of best solutions to the Climate change increasing demands. Timber construction, when protected from humidity, can last for ever and Building process can be very fast.
Cyprus is located in an extremely high seismic region and the timber construction guarantees no failures. In addition, Insurance companies insure timber constructions with lower fees.
In combination with Saint-Gobain’s innovative drywall and insulation systems, the target was to achieve excellent sound, fire, thermal insulation properties and technical breakthroughs.
