The issue of safety in the construction industry is currently a very sensitive issue because of the recent earthquake that shook Italy, Japan and Haiti required testing and implementation of new housing types.
The research, which had never stopped looking for satisfactory solutions on this side, it was therefore focused on solutions that are able to balance various factors including their seemingly contradictory but in fact, during the implementation phase will reveal additional and badly needed one to others. Definitely the favorite material for these buildings is the wood, especially in the variant of laminated wood that has numerous uses from working with wood steps for stairs, which besides being an extremely versatile material appears to be satisfactory for both elasticity for energy efficiency .
An 'efficiency is achieved for both implicit features of the material for processing and combination with other materials are widely used in buildings such as concrete and cement, but these are often used in a more limited and marginal. Just the laminated wood material seems to be the carrier of new housing types experienced in Italy, housing types that are well above the colossal concrete structures not only unsafe in the event of an earthquake but also very energy efficient, and indeed the true their energy-intensive plants.
Just to accommodate this population of high quality and production efficiency in Italy there are many companies that have specialized in the production and sale of laminated wood panels of high quality which finds its best application in the facility not only external and internal, that is as a coating but also in structures such as walls and ceilings as added space between layers of concrete or other material. A methodology that combined the ability to see the typical resistance of concrete and cementitious materials with the flexibility and efficiency of high quality wood. Be stressed that the new housing units are able to meet every need of furniture and also about the plans of work necessary in each house with the increasing use of wood material in the various versions of its compact size panel prices unit elasticity.
It 's interesting, however, analyze the energy efficiency not only from the perspective of new developments and new achievements that are undoubtedly privileged territory for experimentation and implementation of new energy models, but most of these goals also the redevelopment or reconstruction of buildings in historic centers, damaged by earthquakes (as in L'Aquila). Represent these two types of action the very real challenges not only for designers, engineers and architects but also for the company that produces the raw material which in this case must meet the requirements of the building while complying with many of the architectural lines already exist. The material fact in such cases must adapt to those which are the forms, without defining them as happens in the new structures. A new challenge with the help of passion and experimentation in the use of wood and the design is sure to be seized by enterprising Italian companies that will offer innovative and surprising solutions.
