Of course it is. The wood we employ is supervised at many stages, as well as treated. This treatment consists on drying in special drying chambers to give it just the right humidity percentage (about 18%), and then inmersed in special products which give wood fireproof, waterproof, antiparasite and fungicide properties.

In this simple way, the house will remain perfectly protected against the sun or moisture.

   A wooden house is a breathing house. It absorbs and expels humidity, naturally regulating in this way the level of moisture inside the house. This helps to avoid rheumatism and breathing problems, among others.
