Showcase wooden building ready erected
21.04.2021
The replacement building at Wehntalerstrasse 52 in Zurich-Unterstrass is erected. With the use of clay panels, sheep's wool insulation, flexible walls and TS3 technology, the timber construction is highly interesting from an ecological and technical point of view.
The Generation House W52 with GEAK-A energy label actively promotes communal and and intergenerational intergenerational living. Ecological and energy-optimized construction with wood was required from the from the very beginning. Timbatec supports Wellmann Architekten AG in the planning and the careful careful use of resources. The installation and and finishing work still have to be completed before the tenants can move into their tenants can move into their apartments at the beginning of October.
Focus on building physics
Well thought-out
concepts for building acoustics and sound insulation are required. We develop these
with foresight, thus ensuring noise protection and pleasant room acoustics, especially in the
especially in the area of co-working spaces. Ecological construction
also requires the careful selection of building materials: The use of wood,
The use of wood, clay and sheep's wool is a good example of modern and
considerate construction methods.
A 6 cm thick Fermacell honeycomb fill over the cross-laminated timber ceilings, combined with the mineral mineral impact sound insulation and the underlay floor, ensures compliance with the the requirements for airborne sound and impact sound. The floor slab also makes an important contribution to thermal insulation in summer.
For ecological reasons, Timbatec consistently refrains from the use of use of wood-concrete composite ceilings. With the above, resource-saving in conjunction with quality assurance on the construction site, the sound insulation requirements can be the sound insulation requirements can be met. In projects with projects with a property standard, the floor structure is adapted to the adapted to the requirements.
