When we choose to build a wooden house, we think about energy efficiency, sustainability and comfort. But another essential aspect is structural safety, especially earthquake resistance. At Dorna Eco House, we create wooden houses intelligently designed to withstand earthquakes, but also to properly manage humidity, thus preventing the appearance of mold.
Why are Dorna Eco House wooden houses earthquake resistant?
Our timber frame houses have high structural flexibility, which allows them to absorb and dissipate seismic energy without suffering major damage. This is due to several essential factors:
-
Lightweight – Compared to concrete or brick structures, wooden houses are considerably lighter, which reduces the lateral forces exerted during an earthquake.
-
Elasticity and ductility – Wood is an elastic material, capable of deforming and returning to its original shape without cracking or collapsing.
-
Flexible joints – We use modern Rothoblaas fastening systems, which provide a balance between rigidity and flexibility, allowing the house to withstand seismic movements without compromising the structure.
-
Uniform distribution of forces – Precast walls are designed to take and distribute loads evenly, reducing stress points.
Humidity management: problem prevention and long-term protection
Another crucial aspect in the construction of wooden houses is the correct management of humidity. At Dorna Eco House, we implement effective solutions so that the structure can "breathe" and be protected from condensation and mold:
-
Correctly positioned vapor barriers – We install vapor barriers on the inside of the walls to prevent moisture from accumulating in the thermal insulation layer.
-
Controlled diffusion membranes – We use membranes that allow the walls to eliminate moisture to the outside, thus avoiding the accumulation of water in the structure of the house.
-
Efficient insulation – Quality insulating materials, with a λ (lambda) of 0.035, ensure a constant temperature and eliminate the risk of condensation.
-
Rothoblaas Premium Sealing – We use professional sealing solutions that prevent uncontrolled air and moisture infiltration, maintaining a healthy indoor climate.
Conclusion
Dorna Eco House wooden houses are designed for safety, durability and comfort. Through intelligent design and the use of advanced technical solutions, we manage to offer homes that are earthquake-resistant and ensure a healthy indoor environment, without the risk of moisture and mold accumulation.
