The materials used in carpentry
The material is crucial for the strength, insulation, and aesthetics of carpentry. Our expertise helps you choose the one that best meets your expectations.
Solid wood
Solid wood is valued for its natural charm, robustness, and insulating capacity. Available in various species, it offers a wide range of shades and finishes, allowing for the creation of warm and authentic spaces.
High-performance PVC
PVC is favored for its weather resistance, ease of maintenance, and good value for money. Its insulating properties make it a wise choice for improving the energy efficiency of a building.
Powder-coated aluminum
Aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and particularly suited for modern carpentry. With slim profiles, it maximizes glazed surfaces and creates contemporary designs.
Options and finishes for your carpentry
Customizing your carpentry allows for a unique result, in harmony with the style of your interior or facade. Avenir Rénovations Suisse offers a wide range of finishes to combine aesthetics, comfort, and performance.
Choice of colors and surface treatments
The color and treatment influence both the appearance and durability of the carpentry. Paint, stain, or powder coating protect the material while providing an aesthetic finish that enhances your home.
High-end accessories and hardware
Handles, hinges, locks, and closing systems must combine robustness and design. Stainless steel, brass, or anodized aluminum finishes can add an elegant touch while ensuring optimal wear resistance.
Glazing options and enhanced insulation
The choice of glazing directly impacts thermal and acoustic comfort. Double or triple glazing, with UV treatment or safety laminate, optimizes performance and contributes to energy savings.
Regulations for the installation of carpentry in French-speaking Switzerland
Carpentry work must comply with certain rules in Switzerland, depending on the type of installation and its location. This ensures the safety, compliance, and durability of the installations.
Permits and declarations
In some cases, particularly for the installation of exterior carpentry that alters the appearance of the building, a municipal permit is required. This process ensures that the project complies with local urban planning rules.
Thermal and acoustic standards
Carpentry must meet the requirements of the SIA 380/1 standard regarding energy performance. The values for thermal and acoustic insulation influence not only comfort but also eligibility for financial aid.
Work in co-ownership or condominium
In a condominium, any visible change from the outside must be approved by the assembly of co-owners. Regulations may impose constraints on materials, colors, or shapes.
Safety and accessibility
Carpentry, particularly doors and stairs, must meet safety requirements defined by Swiss standards. This includes strength, ergonomics, and sometimes accessibility for people with reduced mobility.
FAQ on the installation of carpentry in French-speaking Switzerland
