SC ALTERNATIVE CONSTRUCT SRL

SC ALTERNATIVECONSTRUCT is a company specialized in panelled houses with material made of wood, known as: Holzrahmenbau, Timber Frame, Ossature Bois, 2"x4"-2"x6".
The system we promote supposes a more judicious usage of wood, it provides elasticity to the structure and avoids pressure concentration through their dissipation and the spatial butt joint of the assembly.
The outside walls are made of 45x150mm elements; while the division ones are of 45x100 mm, the vertical beams are usually at 40 cm one from another and the headboards assure the butt joint among the panels and the uniform concentration of efforts. In Germany we adapt to the requirements of the Holzrahmenbau system (elements of 60 mm in thickness and 60 cm distance among the vertical beams).
For an easy assemblage, the walls are of panels of 3-5 m length, easy to handle on the construction site.
The intermediate panels are made of 45x200?20 mm beam supports in accordance with the strength calculation; the ones over the foundation are in the same system or in polystyrene covered with cement coping.
The strength structure of the roof is also of 45x180?40 mm elements assembled as rafter-clip or as firm framework.
The spatial butt joint is done with wooden linear elements, bands and special metallic pieces, OSB or roof boarding of joint timber.
For larger spaces, such as the living-room or the attic, we can use sizing stacked wood, the fa�ade and the interior finishing can be in wood specially processed or we can use modern solutions we can take from the brick houses: polystyrene or plywood facades which imitate the brickwork, paintings on plaster-board, paper.
The mineral wool is included within the thickness of the walls, floors and roof and it is protected by special polyethylene sheets.
The performances specific to the construction physics, the modern methods of insectifuge treatments provides to these buildings at least the same constructive and functional performances and the same life span as to the similar ones made of bricks, concrete and steel.
The wood is 16% dried, and treated according to the client's wish and the prerequisites of the area (against mouldiness, micro organisms, and worm holes) it must be fireproof and moisture proof - we also pay attention to the regional or local requirements.
The thermal insulation of the wall structure can be in OSB chipboards or in concrete just like the support layer of the boarded floor. The mineral wool is one of the best insulation element of the moment and it is protected with special damp proof barier from PE.
The thermal insulation can be done for the floor slab over the foundation with ventilated mineral wool with for the wooden floor or with polyestyrene for the cement coping solution.
The fastening of the structure is made with special nails; the spatial butt joint is done with metal pieces of the SIMPSON class or specially made for the seismic areas.
For family houses we prefer interior fa�ade of standard plasterboard, fireproof or moisture proof mounted directly on the wooden structure or with intermediary layers of OSB boards. The exterior fa�ade may be of polystyrene, glass, laminate net, exterior fa�ade coats, a variety of special PVC or Vinyl Siding plywood, ceramic adherent plywood or ventilated spaces in the clay bricks.
For the holiday houses, the interior as well as the exterior facades may be of wood, having thus a pronounced rustic character.
The roofing may be similar to those of the brick houses, but we recommend light roof such as asphalt shingles or steel tiles.
The joinery may be of solid wood or foliated wood, PVC or aluminium with a simple or Low-E thermo insulating glass window. The planking or bottom covering, the crockery and sandstone, as well as the painting and decorations - are all similar to those of brick houses, with the difference that the support layer is much flatter and the edges are much steadier and more rectangular than in case of the classical plastering of mortar.
