American Style in Chile
Georgian and Colonial elegance with the best construction standard.
Tradition that Defies Time
The American style is synonymous with warmth, history, and balanced proportions. Houses that evoke family life, with large porches, mansards, and imposing roofs.
At Canadian Houses, we unite this classic design with our avant-garde engineering. Metalcon structure, superior thermal insulation, and finishes that respect the original aesthetic without the maintenance problems of wood.
We comply with regulations for Final Acceptance.

Ideal for rain and snow. Quick water drainage and imposing aesthetics.

Possibility of habitable mansards thanks to the roof slope.
Imposing Aesthetic

Comparison
| Feature | Traditional | Canadian Houses |
|---|---|---|
| Attic Insulation | Deficient. Second floors tend to be ovens in summer. | Superior. Ventilated roof and continuous insulation guaranteeing comfort. |
| Exterior Cladding | Painted Stucco (requires constant maintenance). | Fiber Cement or PVC Siding. High durability and low maintenance. |
| Roofing | Clay or simple zinc tile (heavy or noisy). | Architectural Asphalt Shingle. Aesthetic, silent, and lightweight. |
| Construction Speed | Slow. Height masonry is complex and dangerous. | Fast. Industrialized assembly of panels and trusses. |
| Windows | Simple Aluminum (thermal bridge). | PVC Thermopane with muntin bars design (aesthetic and efficient). |
| Extensions | Difficult and dirty. Requires chipping walls. | Simple and clean. Modular system easy to connect. |
Classic doesn't have to be old. Build with future technology.
