The Galvanized Steel Revolution
At the heart of our Canadian houses lies a structure that combines technology and strength: Metalcon (Steel Framing). This galvanized steel profile system has transformed construction in Chile, offering unsurpassed advantages over traditional wood or concrete.
Key Advantages
- Seismic Resistance: Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for a seismic country like Chile, absorbing energy without collapsing.
- Durability: Being galvanized steel, it does not rust, does not warp with humidity, and most importantly, is immune to termites.
- Speed: Allows for clean and precise construction, significantly reducing build times.
Energy Efficiency
The design of Metalcon walls allows for the incorporation of superior thermal insulation layers, eliminating thermal bridges and guaranteeing a cool house in summer and warm in winter.
