Wooden extensions to enlarge your home with Camif Habitat

Camif Habitat offers wooden extensions to enlarge your home

A leader in the home renovation market for over 25 years, Camif Habitat is increasingly offering wood for home extensions. This eco-friendly and modular material meets the needs of individuals looking to preserve the quality of their environment.

Aesthetic, ecological, and economical, wood is a noble and durable material, with exceptional technical performance and adapting perfectly to all projects. It is also attracting more and more French people.
7 times lighter and 12 times more insulating than concrete, wood can be used to manufacture "manuportable" frame panels that can be transported to inaccessible areas, on very steep terrain.

WOOD: A MATERIAL OF THE FUTURE
In both North America and Scandinavia, over 90% of new construction is made of wood. In France, wood construction represents only 5% of the market, although growth could reach 30% in 2015, or over 30.000 homes per year.
In addition to its strength, wood offers energy-efficient qualities and actively contributes to the fight against the greenhouse effect. A house built with 20 cubic meters of wood stores up to 3 tons of carbon dioxide.

A NETWORK OF PROFESSIONALS MASTERING THE TECHNIQUES
Thanks to its national network of approved professionals, capable of handling all types of wooden extensions, from the tailor-made design of the project to turnkey completion, Camif Habitat can thus reconcile thermal, ecological, environmental and aesthetic performance and commit to a quality service to its customers.

Various examples of timber extensions and customer testimonials can be viewed on the website of www.camif-habitat.fr
