Wooden houses


The custom-made houses from HUF HAUS not only impress with their characteristic appearance of timber and glass, but also with their sustainable and healthy construction with the highest level of living comfort. "Ready" is the synonym for "turnkey" in HUF HAUS' modern timber houses and guarantees you, the building owner, a carefree planning and construction phase from a single source.

Did you know?

In addition to the quick assembly of your dream house, the prefabrication in the factory also enables a high quality standard, because all components are produced under the best possible conditions and prepared for assembly on site.

Similar to the automotive industry, the houses are manufactured in ultra-modern production halls and are subject to constant quality control. It would be unthinkable if the beloved new car were to be produced on a greenfield site - and that applies all the more to your own four (glass) walls!

Know-How: Structural Wood Protection

Is a wooden house truly durable and long-lasting?

At HUF HAUS, this question can not only be answered with a confident ""yes"", but it is also factually substantiated. The family-run company is a pioneer in the field of structural wood protection, boasting a comprehensive wood protection concept developed in close collaboration with Germany's most renowned wood protection expert, Dipl.-Ing. Borimir Radovic, Academic Director (retired).

For eighteen months, the independent specialist conducted a detailed report on the prefabricated wooden houses by HUF HAUS, meticulously examining the structural details of the modern homes. The report states: ""The construction details shown for the HUF houses by HUF HAUS GmbH & Co. KG ensure compliance with the requirements of the current DIN 68800-2 (Wood Protection Part 2: Preventive Construction Measures in Building Construction) with innovative detailed solutions and exemplary results.""

Based on this external report, a comprehensive wood protection concept was developed, documenting both the selection and quality of the raw material wood, as well as structural detailed solutions for construction wood protection. HUF HAUS is currently the only company in the industry that meets the valid wood protection standards in all areas and can demonstrate this in detail—with distinction.

Since 1972, the construction details of HUF wooden houses have been continuously developed—exceeding legal requirements. A dedicated research centre at the company headquarters in Hartenfels aids in the ongoing review and exploration of new ideas for construction wood protection. For example, an in-house weathering station with a sprinkler system provides insights into the durability of materials or their reactions to extreme stress.

Advantages of a HUF Timber House

  • The visible load-bearing timber structure is crafted exclusively from high-quality glued laminated timber, executed according to structural requirements, for example, in the strength class GL28c as per DIN EN 1194.
  • The lamella thickness is 33 mm. The glued laminated timber adheres to a special HUF quality specification.
  • The edges of the laminated timber construction in the exterior are rounded. All glued laminated timbers are sanded using a modern four-belt sanding machine.
  • The large roof overhangs provide exceptional protection for the HUF house against weather conditions. They offer excellent shading of the façades, particularly during the high summer sun.
  • Thresholds and parapet rails are chamfered.
  • Protruding wooden elements such as beams, purlins, and timber constructions of walkways are equipped with weather protection from coated aluminium sheet metal.
  • All sheet metals are discreetly fastened with special clamping profiles on the substructure.
  • Balcony railing posts are made from V2A stainless steel.
  • The characteristic HUF gutters are fitted with coated aluminium sheet metal on the upper edges and ends.
  • HUF HAUS have developed special details for the transition from the house to the outdoor area.

Optimal Wood Processing

Every piece of wood possesses a natural defence: its bark. This provides inherent resistance against pests such as fungi and insects, as well as environmental adversaries like UV rays and moisture.

The more durable and resilient the wood, the better it is suited for processing. HUF HAUS, for instance, utilises Nordic spruce, which develops exceptional resilience due to the harsh weather conditions it endures during growth.

Why is Nordic spruce from your dream home particularly well-suited to the production halls of HUF HAUS? Especially during the cold winter months, when temperatures drop, both the office and production buildings at HUF HAUS are heated. However, warm air often leads to reduced humidity. Humans notice ""dry air"" when lips become chapped or eyes start to itch.

The natural product wood also detects differences in humidity and reacts to changing conditions. It is often said that wood ""works"". To ensure that the wood for your HUF house is processed to the highest quality in the Hartenfels factory, even in the cold months, a special humidification system is employed. This system is controlled by ceiling-mounted sensors that measure humidity and compare it with target values. If the moisture content of the air decreases, the complex system automatically and adaptively adjusts, optimising the indoor air with a delicate mist. This prevents cracks or brittleness in the wood.

The weather-resistant wood for your modern architect-designed house is delivered kiln-dried to Hartenfels and ""conditioned"" during various processing phases in the factory to gradually adjust the wood's moisture content to match the conditions it will face once inhabited. Properly installed and maintained dry, high-quality wood is extremely durable with its long lifespan, ensuring much joy in your sustainable timber-frame house.
