Intalok Benefits
Intalok combines the many benefits of solid wood construction with a timber lock system designed to withstand the forces of nature, creating healthy, sustainable homes that stand the test of time.
Strong
Solid wood construction is elastic and absorbs energy making it ideal for use in earthquake-prone areas. This natural flexibility combined with our innovative timber lock system makes them strong and resilient.
Durable
Intalok buildings have previously survived tsunami and earthquakes, even after the shaking stopped the Intalok home remained structurally sound and livable.
Fire Resistant
Solid timber is more resistant to fire than other building materials, burning much slower than any other synthetic building material. This means Intalok homes retain their structural integrity for longer in a fire.
Home and Family-friendly
Solid wood behaves differently to synthetic materials and actively works to maintain comfort levels by regulating temperature and humidity levels, allowing the house to breathe and maintaining air quality for a healthier living environment.
Uses less energy
Wood has the lowest energy consumption of any common building material because of its high insulation value and thermal mass. Much less energy is required to heat, cool and ventilate a building with solid wood walls meaning your home stays comfortable and saves you money.
Sustainable
Wood is a natural, abundant and renewable resource, making it perfect for sustainable building. Intalok solid wood walls are made from fast growing softwood tree plantations.
Environmentally-kind
Produced by nature, wood is one of the healthiest building materials on the planet, boasting the lowest CO2 emissions of any common building material. Building with solid wood is a constructive way to help combat global warming.
