When it comes to wood buildings, one of the most common prejudices concerns fire resistance. It is often believed that wood is an easily flammable material, but the reality is quite different: wood, when properly treated and processed, is surprisingly safe in the event of a fire.
Laminated wood, which we use in all our constructions, has unique characteristics that make it fire resistant. Unlike materials such as steel, which can lose strength already at low temperatures, wood burns slowly and maintains its load-bearing capacity for a long time. This behavior is due to the formation of a surface layer of charcoal, which acts as a protective barrier, slowing combustion and insulating the core of the structure.
Cavanna Group adopts advanced technologies and complies with the highest fire safety standards to ensure the total safety of its works. In addition, every project is designed down to the smallest detail to incorporate solutions that increase fire resistance, such as concealed metal joints, fire retardant treatments, and optimized structural calculations.
This is a value of our constructions: combining the beauty and sustainability of wood with maximum safety. Cavanna Group is committed to debunking false myths and proving that the future of construction is wood, a natural, high-performance and innovative material.
