The concept behind this modular approach issimilar to the famous Lego® system as building blocks.Our partners Tomoku Hus under Japanese management and ownershipmanufacture the panels in Sweden from sustainable sources.The panels are constructed of a 9.2 mm Masonite high qualityfibre board, a 45x145 mm stud frame of Swedish high quality Spruce,145 mm insulation made of 80% recycled glass and mineral sand,a thick plastic sheet and finally a 9.5 mm high quality Plywood board.The overall U-value is 0.29 W/m².K for a panel without window.The windows are produced in the same factory and are made ofhigh quality Pine with a triple glaze unit filled with Argon giving anoverall U-value of 1.2 W/m².K. The windows are side guided, openingoutward and will all turn 180° for easy cleaning.Low Carbon HouseThe production facility is a high tech assembly line system with robotsdoing most of the work.. The panel system was originally designed forthe Japanese market.The construction has a very high earthquake resistance.Over 20,000 houses have been sold in Japan, Iceland and Sweden.This factory has been producing family houses for the Swedish marketsince 1929. The factories are using the proven Toyota Lean Productionsystem, which results in very low rate of mistakes and accidents,guaranteeing very high quality consistent production. To further enhance the energy performance of these houses and toreduce heat losses, a 90mm internal insulation can be added andsealed with an airtight layer of plastic film and finally coveredwith plasterboard. The inside can be finished off with plasterboard,while the exterior can be timber, masonry or cladding. The overall U-value in this case can come down below 0.16 W/m².K. The flexibility of this modular system is virtually endless within the300 mm modular limit. The skill required to fit the panels are theability to properly handle a level and a screwdriver or a hammer.If fitting instructions are followed the result will be a wall withextreme capabilities to withstand high loads from any directionand also a very good resistance against earthquakes if the needshould arise.3D Construction Example of PanelsThe panels are produced in an automated production line keepingthe production cost to a minimum.Highest quality Swedish Wood.
