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 Metalcon construction 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. We go deeper in our analysis of why Metalcon houses are safest in earthquakes.
  • 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. This is how we achieve rapid house construction in 4 to 6 months.

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.

Discover how we apply this technology in our Mediterranean and American Models, such as our 100 m² American house built entirely with the Canadian system in Metalcon.
