The construction system of building a solid wood RIKO house is unlike any previous and represents a significant step forward in the field. The technology of building a RIKO house meets all environmental demands.
The RIKO house construction fully consists of solid, laminated, technically dry spruce wood. The basic element is a solid, 10 cm thick, laminated wall. Attached to it is natural wood-fibre insulation of various thicknesses followed by classic or wooden façade. The RIKO house interior can be enriched using different coatings such as wax or coloured natural oils.
Wood has a completely positive impact on human well-being and the immune system. Many analyses indicate the unusually high absorption level of wooden systems. Wood walls can absorb the humidity from the interior and release it again in case of dryness. Actively regulating humidity levels, the walls provide the best indoor living conditions.
Much research and expert opinion of confirms that living in houses made of wood is especially recommendable for persons prone to allergies.
Stefan Schimpf, MD from Salzburg, dedicated to preventive medicine and immunotherapy, claims that, due to its ability to breathe and absorb, wood functions as a biological filter. The air filled with harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi is purified inside wood pores and returns as such into the living space. Such clean air positively influences the immune system thus contributing to the improvement of health in general.
