Guidelines related to environmental well-being are increasingly present when creating sustainable buildings . If previously only the layout and functionality were points of attention, today the ecological solutions delivered , as well as the process being less destructive, are also requirements. In this context, Steel and Wood Frame stand out as forms of modern construction without generating waste. These are dry construction systems .

What is Steel and Wood Frame?

Steel and Wood Frame are dry construction methods with low impact on nature . Before even consuming materials and designing the project, choosing the construction technique that will be used is essential. [caption id="attachment_74999" align="aligncenter" width="920"] casa do escritor

[/caption] Although very similar, Steel and Wood have practical differences. The former has frames built from steel profiles with cement plates that replace ceramic or concrete blocks. The other uses almost exclusively reforested wood - which, in turn, reduces spending on water and other waste. These techniques are becoming a trend in Brazil , however, they are not new to the world. In the United States and European countries, both Steel and Wood are widely chosen for modern compositions that are concerned with the environment. And this does not only apply to the choice of sustainable materials, but also when calculating and planning the quantity of product that will be used in the work. The techniques are actually applied when there is a preview of the structural design in order to find the correct dimensions and spacing .

Steel and Wood Frame at CASACOR

CASACOR has sustainability as one of its main pillars and, for this reason, it could not fail to contemplate this trend at the event. Casa Grigio , designed by Cris Passing , was exhibited at CASACOR Santa Catarina 2018 and brought Wood Frame to the event . The project was completed in 40 days and invested in integration with nature for a cleaner atmosphere. casa grigio wood frame

In the house, more than 90% of the external walls are made of glass , which generates low waste and, as a result, creates greater integration with the outside. [caption id="attachment_67402" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] refugio da menina

The project, which was exhibited at CASACOR Rio Grande do Sul 2018, was created for a 15-year-old girl. The technique used was Steel, which ensured a connection between the space and nature.

Present at CASACOR Paraná 2018, the construction stood out for its low environmental impact , in which wooden tops and demolition marble make up the structure, ensuring style and comfort to the project.
