				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">Grupo Gámiz and Maderas Unidas present a collection of 100% solid oak panels made from wood waste from sawmills for conventional use.</h2>

<p><strong>It all started with a moment of realisation</strong>. When Jesús Gámiz looked at the sapwood from the oak that is used in the manufacture of Grupo Gámiz products, he thought to himself: “Is incineration really the best use for this wood?”</p>
<p>At Grupo Gámiz, where substantial resources—financial, intellectual, and creative—are devoted to <strong>enhancing industrial, construction, and decorative wood solutions</strong> in terms of functionality, sustainability, and creativity, questions like these are commonplace.</p>
<p>Once the ideas were in place, action followed. <strong>Jesús Gámiz</strong>, the CEO of <strong>Grupo Gámiz</strong>, reached out to <strong>Miguel Marqués</strong>, the CEO of <strong>Maderas Unidas</strong>. He shared his concerns and sent over a board comprised of oak sapwood pieces.</p>
<p>“See if you can come up with something,” he suggested.</p>
<p>And indeed, he did.</p>

<h3>OAK 2 LIFE: Winner of the award for the most innovative product in the field of sustainability and circular economy at FIMMA + Maderalia 2024</h3>
<p>Both companies believe that they have set a new benchmark in the sector. <strong>OAK 2 LIFE offers outstanding technical, aesthetic, sustainable and cost-effective performance.</strong></p>
<p>This <strong>solid wood panel is made entirely from oak and features a double oak veneer</strong>. It is versatile and suitable for furniture, kitchen or bathroom cabinet doors, staircase elements, panelling and interior curtain walls, among other applications.</p>
<p>Jesús Gámiz and Miguel Marqués are confident that the industry itself will discover many more applications for this <strong>fully recyclable panel</strong>.</p>
<p>This is just the beginning, and the product has already been recognised at major trade fairs such as <strong>FIMMA + Maderalia</strong> in Valencia, <strong>Carrefour International du Bois</strong> in Nantes, and the <strong>Rubio Monocoat Atelier</strong> in Belgium.</p>

<h3>A panel that is both 100% sustainable and fully customisable</h3>
<p>OAK 2 LIFE is produced using <strong>finger-joint</strong> technology. The strips are bonded with <strong>D4-rated, moisture-resistant adhesive</strong>.</p>
<p>After the panel is formed, it undergoes a veneering process on both sides to balance the tensions inherent in this type of solid wood panel.<strong> The result is a far more stable product with the appearance of solid wood</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="wp-image-12676 size-full" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-7.jpg" alt="OAK 2 LIFE tablero alistonado de madera maciza de roble europeo que esta realizado a partir de desechos de la madera no aptos para usos estructurales" width="800" height="493" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-7.jpg 800w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-7-300x185.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-7-768x473.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-7-700x431.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></p>
<p>Although the standard size of <strong>2.95 x 1.22 m</strong> meets most industry requirements and facilitates storage, OAK 2 LIFE offers <strong>extensive customisation options for professionals and companies</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-12668" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-5.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="580" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-5.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-5-300x191.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-5-768x488.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/grupo-gamiz-maderas-unidas-tablero-madera-maciza-Oak2Life-5-700x445.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<p>This means that <strong>a panel can be customised precisely to aesthetic preferences and size requirements</strong> in a straightforward process:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Choose the panel thickness</strong>: 21 mm, 26 mm, 32 mm, 42 mm, or 62 mm.</li>
<li><strong>Choose the type of oak veneer</strong>:  Planked Oak, Knotty Oak, Pippy Oak, or Crack Knotty Oak.<br />

<h3>The introduction of a new concept for solid wood panels in the industry</h3>
<p>With OAK 2 LIFE, the surface can also be given a <strong>rustic, naturally aged look</strong>. This look is achieved by removing the softer parts of the wood using various brushing techniques, which significantly improves the desired aesthetics.</p>
<p>OAK 2 LIFE is particularly suitable <strong>for the production of components that require both the strength and look of a solid panel</strong>. Its main advantage is that it can be <strong>milled and visibly machined</strong>, e.g. for the manufacture of door handles, as its outer and inner sides are made entirely of solid wood.</p>

<p>Its creators are confident that <strong>this marks the beginning of a new product category</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“OAK2LIFE is causing a stir. It is an innovative product that fills a gap in the market that has gone unnoticed. Until now.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The product was launched in mid-September and <strong>orders had already been placed by the end of the month</strong>.</p>
<h3>Read the technical data sheet of OAK 2 LIFE</h3>
<p>The <strong>wood industry</strong> needs <strong>innovation</strong>. The <strong>world</strong> needs a more <strong>circular economy</strong>. These two principles, combined with the <strong>collaboration of two companies committed to continuous progress in these areas — Maderas Unidas and Grupo Gámiz —</strong> have led to the development of this ground-breaking product.</p>

<p><strong>Grupo Gámiz began in a forest</strong>. It was in 1942, in Kanpezu, the heart of the Alava mountains. Since then, <strong>quality sawn wood</strong> has been the driving force for the successive generations that have led our company.</p>
<p>Today, Grupo Gámiz, the humble dream of five siblings, is, among other things, <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/products/glulams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the top world manufacturer of hardwood glulams.</a></p>
<p><strong>This would not have been possible if we hadn&#8217;t been concerned about protecting our forests all this time</strong>. To the extent that today, in a world threatened by environmental disasters and climate change, <strong>the companies that make a living from wood dedicate a large part of our resources to innovation</strong>, with the aim of manufacturing sustainable materials, bringing our processes closer to the circular economy and, like the project we&#8217;re presenting today, <strong>making a commitment to forestry models with as little intervention as possible</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The LIFE HAYA project: Hardwood for the Home. Building with beech</h3>
<p>The LIFE HAYA project aims to help Spanish beech forests <strong>combat climate change using forestry methods that better respect nature (<em>Close to Nature Forestry</em>)</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/grupo-gamiz-proyecto-haya-hyh-life-pefc-proyecto-1.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-11412 size-full" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/grupo-gamiz-proyecto-haya-hyh-life-pefc-proyecto-1.jpg" alt="El proyecto LIFE Haya tiene como objetivo mejorar la capacidad de mitigación del cambio climático en los hayedos de España" width="1200" height="649" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/grupo-gamiz-proyecto-haya-hyh-life-pefc-proyecto-1.jpg 1200w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/grupo-gamiz-proyecto-haya-hyh-life-pefc-proyecto-1-300x162.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/grupo-gamiz-proyecto-haya-hyh-life-pefc-proyecto-1-768x415.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/grupo-gamiz-proyecto-haya-hyh-life-pefc-proyecto-1-1024x554.jpg 1024w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/grupo-gamiz-proyecto-haya-hyh-life-pefc-proyecto-1-700x379.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /></a></p>
<p>The idea is to help these forests better adapt to climate change and increase the variety of plants and animals that live there. <strong>In four regions of Spain</strong>, the project will demonstrate how to do this in 10 different areas.</p>
<p>In addition, <strong>250 tonnes of wood from these forests will be used to make innovative products and construct an ecological building</strong> called the &#8220;Hayabitat&#8221;, which will be designed to be highly efficient and respectful of the environment, following strict sustainable construction standards (<strong>PEFC and Passivhaus</strong>).</p>
<p><img class="alignnone wp-image-11497 size-full" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/grupo-gamiz-proyecto-haya-hyh-life-pefc-zonas-actuacion_en.gif" alt="zonas de actuación proyecto haya life" width="913" height="372" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Project goals</h3>
<p>At Grupo Gámiz we&#8217;ve been working on this project since 1 September 2023. Alongside the other participating entities, we&#8217;ll be undertaking different actions until August 2028.</p>
<p>Over these five years we&#8217;ll try to meet the following <strong>main objectives</strong>:</p>
<h4>1. <u>Better understand beech forests</u>:</h4>
<p>We want to find out more about how beech forests grow and change, their current situation, the variety of life they host, the problems they face and <strong>how they help absorb the carbon dioxide from the air</strong>.</p>
<h4>2. <u>Test new forestry methods</u>:</h4>
<p>We&#8217;re going to use techniques that better respect the natural surroundings (<em>Close to Nature Forestry</em>). If the results are good, <strong>we could use these methods in more forests in northern Spain.</strong></p>
<h4>3. <u>Create a new way of using wood</u>:</h4>
<p>We seek to innovate in how we use the wood from beech forests for construction, <strong>making products that store carbon for longer</strong>, such as glulams and special boards.</p>
<h4>4. <u>Improve the use of knowledge and technology for beech forests</u>:</h4>
<p>We want to ensure we&#8217;re using everything we know about beech forests and beech timber to <strong>make the industry more competitive from the forest to the factory</strong>.</p>
<h4>5. <u>Construct an illustrative building</u>:</h4>
<p><strong>We&#8217;re going to construct a pilot building using the new wood products we develop</strong>. We hope this building will be an example and source of inspiration for architects and engineers.</p>
<h4>6. <u>Evaluate how beech forests can combat climate change</u><u></u>:</h4>
<p><strong>We&#8217;ll analyse how much carbon the beech forests managed using these new techniques can absorb in different conditions</strong>, to really see how much they can help against climate change.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The innovations continue in ‘Wood IoT Wall’, the Hazitek project to develop smart wooden curtain walls. A programme funded by the Basque Government and the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund).</h2>
<p>In matters of <strong>sustainability and environmental protection</strong>, <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/wooden-curtain-walling/8-real-examples-of-oak-curtain-walling-on-facades/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wooden curtain walls</a> improve on the efficiency of traditional walls built with materials such as concrete or steel.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/uncategorized/muro-cortina-madera-proyecto-wood-iot-wall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wood IoT Wall</a> project seeks to exceed these expectations with <strong>an even more innovative focus</strong>, with economic backing by the <strong>Basque Government</strong> and the <strong>ERDF</strong>, within the framework of the <strong>Hazitek</strong> programme.</p>
<p>The objective of this project is to <strong>further improve wooden curtain walls with cutting-edge technology and innovative proposals</strong>. The plan includes the creation of <strong>an advanced BIM model for curtain walls</strong>, in conjunction with a <strong>digital twin </strong>that provides smart assistance in its design, construction and scalability.</p>
<p>This system aims to <strong>optimise the energy efficiency of curtain walls</strong> through detailled management of aspects such as<strong> ventilation, shade, lighting and temperature</strong>.</p>

<h3>New: radiata pine curtain wall</h3>
<p>This year&#8217;s new development is marked by <strong>the tests conducted on radiata pine</strong>. To date, <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/uncategorized/muro-cortina-madera-proyecto-wood-iot-wall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research to design a smart wooden curtain walls</a> had been on <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/sustainable-architecture/projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>the only oak glulam in the world with the CE marking for structural use</strong></a>.</p>
<p><strong>The tests on pine have been very positive</strong>, which opens up the possibility of applying this technology to other species. An interesting fact is that <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/wood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">each wood not only has its own characteristics</a>, but also its <strong>own advantages in terms of application in different industrial sectors</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10829" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/pino-radiata-maderas-grupo-gamiz-maderas.jpg" alt="pino radiata para muro cortina con certificado" width="920" height="321" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/pino-radiata-maderas-grupo-gamiz-maderas.jpg 920w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/pino-radiata-maderas-grupo-gamiz-maderas-300x105.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/pino-radiata-maderas-grupo-gamiz-maderas-768x268.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/pino-radiata-maderas-grupo-gamiz-maderas-700x244.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px" /></p>
<p>In this case, the <strong>radiata pine curtain wall</strong> would not have been possible without the <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/sustainable-architecture/what-does-the-ce-marking-for-structural-use-mean-for-wooden-glulam-beams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CE marking for structural use</a> of the radiata pine glulam wood of GRUPO GÁMIZ</p>
<p>Accompanying us on this adventure are <a href="https://uxama.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Uxama</a>, <a href="https://www.irastorza.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carpintería Irastorza</a>, <a href="https://www.genelek.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Genelek</a> and <a href="https://www.tecnalia.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tecnalia</a>.</p>
<h3>Energy efficiency achieved with beauty, elegance and sustainability</h3>
<p>That is the true objective of R&amp;D+i: <strong>being able to live in a better world without sacrifices</strong>. In the case of architecture, construction and industry, <strong>wood provides sustainability, function, elegance and beauty</strong>.</p>
<p>Thanks to research at Grupo Gámiz for example, in addition to designing and manufacturing the only single oak glulam in the world with the CE marking, <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/sustainable-architecture/the-curves-of-innovation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">we are able to make curved beams in any measurements</a>. This boosts <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/sustainable-architecture/sustainable-architects-renzo-piano/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>sustainable architecture</strong></a>, as we help architects shake off any limits to their creativity and their drive to respect nature.</p>
<p>Similarly, our <strong>glulams</strong> enable the development of <strong>curtain walls</strong> that, combined with glass and occasionally with other materials such as aluminium, result in more beautiful, radiant, elegant and natural façades.</p>

<p>Like quality, sustainability is much more real when it&#8217;s certified. Our <strong>primary and secondary processed wood products</strong> have the most important <strong>sustainability stamps</strong>: <strong>FSC and PEFC</strong>.</p>
<p>At <strong>Grupo Gámiz </strong>we have taken yet another step to<strong> reduce our carbon footprint</strong> by implementing an <strong>energy self-supply </strong>project that was made possible by funds from the <strong>Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, funded by the European Union &#8211; Next Generation EU</strong>, in the which have been collaborating with the Company <strong>Imagina Energía</strong>.</p>

<h3>2,000 tonnes of CO2 saved</h3>
<p>This project came to an end in 2021. Since then,<strong> all of the energy we use at Grupo Gámiz comes from renewable sources</strong>, specifically <strong>solar power</strong>.</p>
<p>For this purpose we have installed <strong>1,800 photovoltaic panels </strong>on the roofs of our facilities, which guarantee 801 kW of power and 684 MWh of self-consumed energy.</p>
<p>The rest of the energy needed for our processes is obtained from <strong>reusing our own waste (splinters and saw dust)</strong>, and<strong> 100% clean energy from renewable sources</strong> supplied by Imagina Energía, the first 100% solar energy in Spain.</p>
<p>In other words: since the start of our self-supply project <strong>we have saved more than 2,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.</strong></p>
<p>One more step in our daily commitment to <strong>sustainability, ecology and innovation</strong>.</p>

<h3>If you use wood in your processes, you can be even more creative, functional and sustainable</h3>
<p>At Grupo Gámiz we have been committed to <strong>innovation since 1942</strong> as the basis for the manufacture of our <strong>primary and secondary processed wood products</strong>.</p>
<p>That attention to detail has helped us to guarantee maximum quality in our <strong>boards and panels, laminated profiles and edge-glued panels</strong>.</p>
<p>It has also enabled us to be pioneers and create <strong>the only oak glulam in the world with the CE marking for structural use</strong>, and we&#8217;re the only manufacturers of this in the world.</p>
<p>So if you work in <strong>industry, construction, architecture or interior design</strong> and are looking for wood, you won&#8217;t find a better place for it.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">The extension of St. Edward&#8217;s School, by TSH Architects, consists of two new buildings. The top floor of one of them is crowned by an impressive gabled roof made with oak glulams</h2>
<p><strong>Oxford&#8217;s college buildings</strong> are an important part of Great Britain&#8217;s architectural heritage. Its style is marked by a mixture of architectural influence (Romance, Gothic and Renaissance), and as a whole transmits a shared image of <strong>history, beauty and practical function</strong>.</p>
<p>It is an image so deeply rooted that anyone who reads a novel set in the university city will quickly imagine the limestone of the buildings, the <strong>steeply sloping roofs</strong>, the towers and the stained glass windows.</p>
<p>Hence the challenge in tackling an extension project like this one for <strong>St. Edward’s School</strong>, in which <strong>the Oxford studio TSH Architects</strong> has extended the school with two buildings, a learning centre and an assembly hall.</p>
<p>The first stands out for its spectacular gabled roof made of <strong><a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/sustainable-architecture/projects/vigam/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VIGAM, the only glulam in the world with the CE marking for structural use</a></strong>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9090 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-1.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-1.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-1-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-1-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-1-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<h3>The ideal roof for a beautiful reading room</h3>
<p><strong>The top floor of the learning centre</strong> houses a study space and reading room from which to enjoy a view of the school playground, the gardens and the older buildings.</p>
<p>The roof of this room is a magnificent gabled design made of oak glulam wood. <strong>Its beams are arranged in an elegantly creative way</strong>, and let the light into some areas to facilitate reading with natural light.</p>
<p>Of course, the <strong>very nature of oak is warm and welcoming</strong> for the site&#8217;s users.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9091 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-2.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-2.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-2-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-2-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-2-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<h3>Wooden glulams with the CE marking for structural use: there&#8217;s no better option</h3>
<p>The choice of VIGAM in this project is a safe bet <strong>from an aesthetic point of view,</strong> as it is on a par with the expectations of <strong>Oxford design</strong> thanks to the sensations that this highly appreciated wood evokes.</p>
<p>At the same time, <strong><a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/sustainable-architecture/what-does-the-ce-marking-for-structural-use-mean-for-wooden-glulam-beams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the structural capabilities of oak and VIGAM</a></strong> are perfect for building a roof in a place like Oxford, a site exposed to adverse weather (rains, wind and snow).</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9092 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-3.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-3.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-3-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-3-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-vigam-oxford-3-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s not forget, of course, the advantages of choosing wood as our building material. <strong>The creative and sustainable possibilities of this natural material</strong> are a fact that is more and more present in the minds of <strong>architects and construction companies</strong>, <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/wooden-curtain-walling/8-real-examples-of-oak-curtain-walling-on-facades/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as you can see in these 8 examples of wooden curtain walling in façades</a>.</p>
<h3>“Simeon&#8217;s dream” has been accomplished</h3>
<p>This extension is the finishing touch for the school that has a curious legend.</p>
<p>Founded in 1863 by Reverend Edward Stevens, it seems that the idea for its creation originated in a dream that appeared to Simeon the Righteous, <strong>a biblical character</strong>, who asked that a school be built in his honour.</p>
<p>Next to the new learning centre, the <strong>Olivier assembly hall</strong> has been built, a magnificent auditorium able to host more than a thousand people.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">That place is Ibiza. If you visit the island and look hard, you might find this small paradise. And if they invite you in, take your shoes off: your feet will touch ACCOYA ®, a very special wood.</h2>
<p>What can you do in Ibiza? That&#8217;s what people who haven&#8217;t been there ask. “Experience”, respond fans of the island.</p>
<p>Of course, <strong>there&#8217;s an Ibizan way of life</strong>. For some it&#8217;s the white clothing, a warm breeze moving the curtains, chill out music while you watch the sunset on the seashore with an Aperol Spritz in your hand…</p>
<p>For others it&#8217;s spending the night among friends, staying up til dawn.</p>
<p><strong>For others Ibiza is, quite simply, a dream</strong>. Imagine waking up every day every summer in Villa Harmony. What can you do there that you haven&#8217;t daydreamed about?</p>
<p>Well, that dream exists. And it&#8217;s so special that its exterior flooring, the façade and the interior are all in <strong>ACCOYA®, also one of the most special woods in the world</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9126 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<h3>A natural, sustainable and resistant material, with a 50-year written guarantee</h3>
<p>ACCOYA ® is a wood that is modified naturally to improve its <strong>resistance, durability and stability</strong>. <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/accoya-en/toxin-free-pickled-wood/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">We&#8217;ll tell you all about it here</a>, but basically this treatment causes insects to fail to recognise it as food and prevents moulds attacking it.</p>
<p>In short, ACCOYA® is <strong>an unbeatable wood for exteriors</strong>. This is why architects and construction companies have been using it more and more. For this reason and because it holds the most highly regarded <strong>sustainability certification</strong>, from the <strong>FHS</strong>.</p>
<p>Also because the manufacturer provides a <strong>fifty-year written guarantee</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9122 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-3.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-3.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-3-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-3-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-3-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<h3>Façade, flooring and interior fit for a dream</h3>
<p>And if <strong>Villa Harmony</strong> is a dream house, ACCOYA® wood has done its part. On the exterior it has been used for the flooring and the façade. For the latter in the form of slats, that combine with the decorative stone and control the light entering the house.</p>
<p>Inside, <strong>the architects from Candel Arquitectura</strong> have also opted for ACCOYA®. In the end, with the doors and windows open, the walls will remain the same despite the inevitable dose of salt residue that gets in.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-9123 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-4.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-4.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-4-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-4-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/grupogamiz-accoya-villaharmony-ibiza-4-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<h3>The finish, the icing on the cake</h3>
<p>ACCOYA® is a wood that is also appreciated for <strong>the options it provides when choosing the finish</strong>. A lot of people like its natural ageing, in which the wood takes on a greyish tone over time.</p>
<p>In the case of Villa Harmony the owners had various options for the finish, for both flooring and façade, and even in the interior, which has an <strong>oak varnish finish</strong>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">                         The extension of the offices of the pharmaceutical company Roche Diagnostics in Barcelona includes a “shade house”. The façade in ACCOYA® acetylated wood plays a significant role in its energy efficiency goals.</h2>
<p><strong>Health and architecture have always been connected</strong>: inefficient building design and construction with polluting raw materials are surefire routes to poor health for inhabitants. At the same time, <strong>responsible, smart design and the use of sustainable raw materials </strong>are decisions that result in successes such as <strong>sustainability, energy efficiency and self-supply</strong>.</p>
<p>This is the case in today&#8217;s project, with sustainable achievements that are the healthy culmination of the work carried out inside. We are referring to the expansion of the offices of <strong>Roche Diagnostics</strong> in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona. A project signed by <strong>Battleiroig Arquitectura</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-8966 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GrupoGamiz-accoya-RocheDiagnostics-Barcelona-2.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GrupoGamiz-accoya-RocheDiagnostics-Barcelona-2.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GrupoGamiz-accoya-RocheDiagnostics-Barcelona-2-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GrupoGamiz-accoya-RocheDiagnostics-Barcelona-2-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/GrupoGamiz-accoya-RocheDiagnostics-Barcelona-2-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<h3><strong>A façade that protects our health</strong></h3>
<p>The architects of this new building confirm that their design was based on the concept of a <strong><em>shade house</em></strong>. In other words, a traditional structure made to provide shade.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/sustainable-architecture/projects/accoya/"><strong>The ACCOYA® slats of each façade</strong></a> are adapted to the direction of the sun, and protect the staff inside from the strong sunlight and heat, where research into diagnostic solutions for doctors and pharmaceutical laboratories takes place.</p>
<h3><strong>Sustainability and beauty, resistance and durability</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/sustainable-architecture/products/acetylated-wood/"><strong>ACCOYA® is acetylated wood</strong></a>, in other words, wood modified using <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/accoya-en/toxin-free-pickled-wood/">a completely natural treatment</a>. The result is <strong>a building material</strong> with excellent behaviour in exteriors, where it is possible to apply treatments or leave it natural. In both cases it has a <strong>powerfully attractive aesthetic appearance.</strong></p>

<p>Acetylation makes ACCOYA® <strong>a wood that is exceptionally resistant and durable</strong>, to the point that the manufacturer provides a <strong>written 50-year guarantee </strong>for projects above ground level (use classes 1, 2 and 3) and 25 below ground or in fresh water (use class 4).</p>
<p><a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/wooden-curtain-walling/8-real-examples-of-oak-curtain-walling-on-facades/">Like other types of wood, such as oak,</a> ACCOYA® is a magnificent option for <strong>sustainable façades</strong> such as that of Roche Diagnostics.</p>
<h3><strong>From the grey of cement to the green of a garden</strong></h3>
<p>The project for this extension was to <strong>reinterpret the space from a sustainable concept</strong>. The staff workspaces (<strong>offices and laboratories</strong>) have been refurbished with two buildings, and efforts were made to give the plot, almost 40,000 m<sup>2</sup>, a green side to its personality.</p>
<p>For this purpose<strong> a garden was created</strong> where the main parking area had been previously. This <strong>green space</strong> takes centre stage, and acts as connecting space for the different parts of the campus.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">Built at the site of the 1991 terror attack, the new library in Vic pays tribute to the victims through the values of tolerance, culture and social integration.</h2>
<p>In 1991 an atrocity struck Vic in the form of a terrorist attack. Ten people died. Today, at the same site the new city library has been built, as a symbol that <strong>knowledge is one of the</strong> <strong>best pathways to understanding others</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-8897 size-full" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-2.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-2.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-2-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-2-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-2-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<p>As we already know, <strong>architecture also helps to build values</strong>. The studio BCQ Architecture wanted the new Pilarin Bayés library in Vic to be a monument to knowledge and to life, tolerance and culture, to remembrance and to the future. Also to <strong>sustainability</strong>, as one of the simplest ways to face that future.</p>
<p>To meet this sustainable goal, the creators have used <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/sustainable-architecture/projects/accoya/"><strong>ACCOYA@, one of the most resistant and sturdy timbers on the market</strong></a>.</p>
<h3><strong>Exterior wooden curtain wall</strong></h3>
<p>ACCOYA® makes it possible to build <strong>a sustainable façade with curtain wall where wood is used on the exterior</strong>. This possible thanks to <strong>acetylated wood</strong>, in other words, wood subject to <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/accoya-en/toxin-free-pickled-wood/">a 100% natural treatment </a>that makes the material extraordinarily resistant.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-8896 size-full" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-1.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-1.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-1-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-1-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-biblioteca-Vic-fachada-accoya-1-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<p>The wood obtained after this method takes on <strong>a superior dimensional stability</strong>, with good strength in the cycles of expansion and contraction. Its <strong>weather resistance</strong> also improves, as the molecular alteration of the wood after this process means that <strong>moulds and insects no longer recognise it as a source of food</strong>.</p>
<p>In virtue of this robustness, <strong>ACCOYA® has a written guarantee of 50 years</strong> in use classes 1, 2 and 3 (at ground level), and 25 in use class 4 (underground or submerged in fresh water).</p>
<h3><strong>Natural light, vegetation and remembrance</strong></h3>
<p>The authors proposed that all the building&#8217;s reading spaces be oriented toward the garden. <strong>The design of the façade lets in plenty of natural light</strong>. At the same time, the interior provides a perfect view of the exterior vegetation and, in particular, the trees, ten in total: one for each victim of the attack.</p>
<p>Each of the lights that illuminate the rooms at night have an inscription in different alphabets: <strong>knowledge illuminates life</strong>. A phrase with a metaphoric power that is transmitted every night, when the light emanating from the library bathes the surrounding streets with the design of its <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/wooden-curtain-walling/8-real-examples-of-oak-curtain-walling-on-facades/">façade with wooden curtain wall</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">It is called Kora Green City, located in Vitoria-Gasteiz, and is one of the most sustainable buildings in the world. Radiata pine curtain wall contributes to the architects&#8217; energy efficiency goals.</h2>
<p><strong>Sustainable architecture</strong> is a magical cocktail. The first of its ingredients is the architects&#8217; desire to build a better world. Then comes the hard part: finding the materials, the certifications, the working methods… The guarantee that each step is as efficient as possible: achieving goals with<strong> the lowest possible carbon footprint</strong>.</p>
<p>The <strong>Passivhaus certification</strong> began in Germany in 1988. <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/accoya-en/passivhaus-and-certified-wood-common-sense-brings-them-together-the-environment-wins/">This construction model can be summarised in five key points</a>, with the aim of achieving practical and comfortable buildings and <strong>reducing energy consumption in their construction by at least 70%</strong>, compared to conventional building standards.</p>
<p>This ambitious aspiration consumed the creators of the project, Fernando Ortea and A54 Architects. After a time, the Kora Green City complex of studios and apartments appeared in Vitoria-Gasteiz: the largest Passivhaus accommodation in Europe.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-8924 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-6.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-6.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-6-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-6-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-6-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<h3><strong>A forest of 13,500 trees at the heart of the Basque capital</strong></h3>
<p>Thanks to the Passivhaus standard, <strong>Kora Green City has saved the atmosphere 98% in CO2 emissions</strong>. This is equivalent to the purification produced by 13,500 trees in one year.</p>
<p>At the same time, Kora Green City obtains the majority of its energy from nature: photovoltaic panels, air source heat pumps, geothermal energy, etc. The goals for lighting and heating the rooms using natural sunlight are achieved through a kind of teamwork to which the <strong>wooden curtain wall of the façade</strong> contributes in good measure.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-8927 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-10.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-10.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-10-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-10-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-10-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>
<h3>¿Fachadas sostenibles? Con madera certificada, por supuesto</h3>
<p>Thanks to technology, <strong>laminated wood has been revolutionising sustainable architecture for several years</strong>. Custom structural beams, <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/sustainable-architecture/the-curves-of-innovation/">curved beams</a>, creative designs with beams with lengths and widths that were unthinkable some time ago are now possible.</p>
<p>Thanks to technology… and certifications. <strong>Lightweight sustainable façades with wood</strong> are only possible <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/sustainable-architecture/what-does-the-ce-marking-for-structural-use-mean-for-wooden-glulam-beams/">thanks to certifications such as the CE marking for structural use</a>, the seal awarded to <strong>VIGAM</strong>, the glulam beam by Grupo Gámiz, available in oak (in this case it is <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/sustainable-architecture/projects/vigam/"><strong>the only oak glulam in the world with CE marking for structural use</strong></a>), ash, iroko and radiata pine. The latter is the material chosen for the wooden curtain walling of the Kora Green City façade.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-8928 aligncenter" src="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-11.jpg" alt="" width="913" height="585" srcset="https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-11.jpg 913w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-11-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-11-768x492.jpg 768w, https://www.grupogamiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/grupogamiz-vitoria-koragreencity-11-700x449.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px" /></p>

<h3><strong>Wooden curtain wall: beauty, elegance, warmth and a more protected planet</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Certified laminated wood </strong>has achieved just that: <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/blog/sustainable-architecture/sustainability-in-architecture-is-more-creative-with-glulam-beams/">that sustainability takes creativity by the hand</a>. Today architects are not forced to forego designing what they see in their minds due to materials that are unsuitable for their sustainability goals.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">Technology has made glulam wood an extraordinary ally to architects seeking sustainability and warmth without renouncing creativity. The latest innovation is the use of oak on façades. Emblematic names such as Renzo Piano and Herzog &amp; de Meuron already have faith in this unique wood to make all the difference to their projects.</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The commitment to innovation in construction materials has given rise to an interesting paradox: <strong>wood</strong>, present in architecture since it began, in Neolithic times, has become <strong>the material of the future, that which will mark the way architecture will evolve.</strong></p>
<p>Technology has played a large part in this development. <strong>The progress made in the structural capacity of glulam wood has given architects greater freedom</strong> to design their projects with greater <strong>sustainability and warmth</strong>. Until now, using only solid wood sometimes entailed conceding some creativity in the designs.</p>
<h3><strong>With the oak glulam beams with the CE marking for structural use, we gain elegance and sophistication along with function.</strong></h3>
<p>In addition to its load-bearing capacity and creative freedom, glulam wood is <strong>lightweight, has a lower carbon footprint, contributes to energy efficiency, and provides warmth and well-being</strong>. And now, with the arrival of<strong> oak glulam beams </strong>for façades, all these generic advantages are enriched <strong>by the touch of elegance and distinction of one of the most exquisite fine hardwoods there is</strong>.</p>
<p>See how oak makes the difference in these <strong>eight real examples of oak glulam wooden curtain walling</strong>, <a href="https://www.grupogamiz.com/en/sustainable-architecture/free-ebook-wooden-curtain-walling/">summarised here, which you can enjoy in greater depth by downloading this free ebook</a>.</p>
