Why choose a lightweight wooden deck?

Designing a roof is very important when building a home. Choosing one or another structure can largely determine the energy efficiency and future savings of a construction. Therefore, thelight coversThey are a system with numerous economic and structural advantages.

Wooden roof structures are lighter than other construction solutions. According to the guide “˜Wooden structure for housing roofs“˜ in which he has collaborated THERMOCHIP®, for the purposes of CTE (Technical Building Code), a light roof is “one whose permanent load due solely to its enclosure does not exceed 1 kN/m2”. Thanks to this lightness, light covers resist fire for longer. Added to this is its simplicity and speed of assembly, so that light covers are the ones that require the most reduced costs in their installation.

SIMPLE ASSEMBLY TO BREAK THE THERMAL BRIDGE

The guide “˜Wooden structure for housing roofs“˜ highlights that in this type of structures “it can be seen that the natural behavior of the wooden pieces is compression or axial traction and bending.” So their assembly is simple and easy to control, hence the excellent results of the sandwich panels.THERMOCHIP® tongue and groove, whose union of the four sides of the panel is so strong that they manage to break the thermal bridges responsible for heat leaks in our home.

Furthermore, this type of roof, usually made with wooden panels, provides a more appropriate aesthetic to modern design.
