Nature endowed us with the possibility to dream and it also inspires us when we transform our dreams into plans. However, we are not prepared to do that at any cost. Life is too short to spend precious time on lengthy and wearisome construction work, which too often destroys the confidence and deprives us of the most cherished and irreplaceable ingredients of life. We had all of you and us in mind when we began designing and making RIKO houses - healthy, economical homes, adjusting perfectly to nature and gratefully accepting the rich tradition of using wood as a building material. Our main aim...

Wood fibre is an excellent insulator during the winter as well as during the summer. The main advantages of wood-fibre insulators are as follows: protection from cold – decreases the heating costs • Excellent heat protection – decreases the cooling costs • Good sound insulation - provides peace indoors • Natural ability to receive and emit humidity from the air – positive impact on the • Excellent atmosphere indoors • Vapour permeability (vapour diffusion-open construction) – positive impact on the atmosphere indoors • No overheating (phase shift) – comfortable indoor temperature Much research...

The external walls not only limit and define the inner space but also serve as the primary sheathing and structural element of the building. In keeping with contemporary demands for safe and comfortable homes they also have a number of key structural qualities such as thermal permeability, diffusion stability, sound insulation, fire resistance, and seismic activity resistance to list just a few. Two basic building systems have been developed by the Riko Houses Company: - SOLID TIMBER WALL – LMS - TIMBER FRAME WALL – ROS Both types of walls are available in a wide range of dimensions according...

exterior wall The solid timber walls LMS is the basic unit of construction in the RIKO system. It is composed of 40 mm thick spruce panels. These wood panels are dried using state of the art technology (kiln dried wood) which produces a humidity ranging from 8 to 11%. The timber panels are glued into the wall unit of appropriate length and height. High quality single component polyurethane (PUR) glue is applied in the process. The glue is made without formaldehyde, does not release poisonous emissions into the environment and is considered to be 'healthy* glue. The glue seal is horizontal, for...

exterior wall Exterior timber frame wall ROS is a large wall unit, fabricated from timber frame con- struction and filled with various insulation materials, which can be panels made of wood fibres, min- eral wool, Styrofoam etc. Soft insulation can also be used, such as glass, and other types of wools, cellulose flake, to name just a few. The interior of the frame structure is enclosed with plywood and foil (often referred to as vapour bar- rier). This inner barrier prevents the intake of moisture into the wall. Onto the barrier is then fixed a vertical timber sub-construction, (installation...
