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.

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.
