MANUFACTURER OF
TIMBER FRAME HOUSES
Progress from an idea to design concept is our operational standard.
ENERGY EFFICIENT HOUSES WITH LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
Timber panel houses are a type of private house building which retains advantages of conventional wood structures and attenuates their drawbacks. It is human-friendly, creates optimal living conditions and, if duly built, provides perfect comfort, fire safety and substantial heating cost savings. Available technical backstopping by Silver Standart Houses manufacturing plant allows to erect buildings rapidly, easily and more cost-efficiently.
ENERGY EFFICIENT PRIVATE HOUSES
Timber panel / frame private houses are a top-quality product by Silver Standart Houses, which offers immensely energy efficient and comfortable solutions. It is specific in terms of controlled indoor microclimate, low power consumption and an exceptionally high degree of heat insulation. The amount of heat energy required for such timber houses can be provided by on-site heat sources, however the demand for auxiliary energy is supplied by renewable sources. Meticulous design, materials selection and implementation are needed to meet the required standards. Heat insulation of house structures is 320 mm – 500 mm, and is case of an extra dense enclosing structure, controlled fresh air exchange is provided by a special ventilation system with heat and moisture recuperation functions.
MANUFACTURE OF VARIOUS SUPPLEMENTARY EQUIPMENT
A farmer-focused solution means our marketable functional structures that we produce and build, e.g. barns for technical equipment, livestock sheds, stables and moreover timber hangars up to 20 m wide without support pillars. Those simple and rapidly manufactured structures / buildings are a cost-effective, since they are free of any interior finish, and sawn lumber can be structurally used here and there, substantially reducing the total cost of construction.

TERRACES
We suggest that you fit your house with a terrace, for which you can choose several available wood species. In our standard design we offer a pressure impregnated pine frame with pine / larch terrace boards, which can be treated with tinted oil paint / glaze.
OUR ADVANTAGES
State-of-the-art technologies, commercially optimized processes, due logistics and a short assembly period. At the time of foundation construction our plant manufactures finished products for walls and roof panels in specific microclimate conditions. Production of required panels for a 150m2 house will take no more than 2 weeks plus assembly of the delivered structure on the newly built foundation will take 2-5 days. It results in substantial time saving: up to 40% as compared to other types of construction. Please note that panels come from the plant with already mounted windows and doors, and in some cases with composite facade.
According to Bill Quigley’s research made in 2003, where 3 timber frame houses were compared to 3 conventional modular houses and heat consumption was studied, wood panels consumed less energy to maintain mean temperature at a higher level. Temperature rise by 1 degree (Celsius) in a timber frame house required 44% less of energy than in modular houses. Accordingly, heating costs in timber frame houses were 32% lower than in respective modular ones. Correct insulation of an isolated building is energy efficient, since it reduces thermal losses, and it in turn has direct impact on house management expenses.
Reduction of foundation construction costs (smaller foundations are needed – costs are up to 30% lower – as compared to conventional construction). Reduction of product transportation costs and a more comfortable process of technical assembly.
The manufacturing process involves only CE-certified raw materials, thus ensuring higher quality standards and compliance with environmental requirements. It is ecology that specifies organism and environment relations, because timber structures create physiological and psychological prerequisites which are perfect to look for natural, sound and harmonious environment.
Estimated construction period is easily determinable; delay and uncertainty risks are eliminated. Onsite construction cost is much higher than expenses on labor force and time required for prefabricated wood panels. Convenient location of utility networks; all necessary service lines can be located inside walls. Interior and exterior facade works can be carried out simultaneously, and applied materials need no drying, as in the case of brick houses.
Internal quality control at the plant and the applied materials generate a high-quality product which creates a perfect microclimate in the living environment with the following characteristics:
- Control of air quality and humidity. Due to the property called wood equilibrium moisture, timber by itself controls the natural balance of air humidity indoors, timber can breathe and therefore is environmentally appropriate. Furthermore, moisture and warm air recuperation is provided by recuperative equipment fitted with a heat exchanger which facilitates, automatizes and controls such processes at home.
- High heat and sound insulation. Wood panel walls, their optimal weight and structure ensure better sound insulation than brick walls. Properly designed sound insulation allows to fully enjoy the newly acquired environment.
- Low dust content. The reason for dust generation is static electricity, but electrostatic properties of timber prevent from this electricity accumulation indoors. That is why people having various allergies should live in timber houses (since dust is a heavy allergen).
A duly built timber panel house is fireproof and durable. It is not just a “timber house” but a building made of special panels, the structure of which prevent access of oxygen – suppresses fire propagation. Nowadays it is also possible to treat timber with fire retardant agent or fireproof dope, raising the fire resistance rating to B-s1, d0.
Roof trusses and panels of wall units by Silver Standart Houses are distinct in terms of low weight and compact energy efficiency of structures; it presupposes convenient and efficient logistics and reduction of costs on fabricated structures transportation.
Silver Standart Houses provides a 2-year backup service of each completed construction project during which potential damage will be repaired, as well as a 5-year warranty for the building frame.
Build your house in any weather conditions, preparing a foundation for the construction during warm months.
Prefabricated houses are high-quality goods affordable to a wide range of customers. Their price depends on properties of the chosen material and on required quality standards, and it substantially reduces the time necessary for construction as well as has relevance to total construction costs.
COMPLETED PROJECTS
Private houses are most often built of wood panels, although some people still find this type of construction not quite “serious” and safe. It would be rather difficult to convince such a person of invaluable advantages of timber frame houses. However the people, who wish to save construction expenditures, time and to live in ecological environment, unambiguously opt for timber panel houses.
A timber frame house can be one-storey, two-storey or multi-storey. However wood panels are most often chosen for private houses having no more than 3 storeys. Twin houses may also include twin or row houses. Commonly they have two storeys.
A lot of people learn with surprise that this type of construction is so safe that it allows to build even apartment blocks. In Scandinavian countries, such as Sweden and Norway, apartment blocks are mainly built of prefabricated wood panels too.
