Dowel construction

Dowel walls consist of several solid wood layers that are connected to each other with hardwood dowels. The moisture adjustment causes the wooden dowels to swell, so that a very strict connection is created between the wooden slats and no gluing or screwing is necessary. The system can be used to create wall, roof and ceiling elements. The elements are prefabricated at the factory and delivered to the construction site in entire wall sections and connected to each other. The inner side of the wall can be clad or left as a visible wooden surface, depending on your preference. A wide variety of cladding can be applied on the outside to meet the thermal insulation and design ideas.
