Durable & All-Weather Performance
Galvanized steel frames help protect against rust in areas near the sea, in places with a lot of moisture, and in industrial areas.High-density sandwich panels are available in different types: EPS (standard), rock wool (which offers strong fire protection), or PU foam (which gives better insulation).These panels keep the inside of your home comfortable, even when the temperature is as low as -30°C or as high as +50°C.The windows are made of UPVC and have double glass, and the parts where the windows fold together are sealed with EPDM rubber.These windows can handle heavy rain for 30 minutes without letting any water in.
Your home is built to handle strong winds, heavy snow, and earthquakes, and it meets international building standards.The materials used can be recycled, and there is very little waste left at the construction site, which follows global green building rules for 2026 and in the future.
