We worked on our prototypes for several years before presenting them at the Lépine Competition in 2017, as well as to a panel of industry professionals.
Armed with our convictions, with strength and perseverance, we entered the competition—and it was the right decision!
Ecological products for a healthy HABITAT, with natural and renewable materials
Discover the revolutionary SCHMIDTHAUS system, "The Best Eco Construction System", an inexhaustible source of inspiration and creativity for innovative constructions. Our approach always begins with the building’s ENVELOPE, an essential pillar for high-quality homes.
The advantage of our SCHMIDTHAUS ECO-CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM is to make the envelope, the structure of the BUILDING perfectly airtight and watertight. And we have achieved it.
It is an exemplary WORLD FIRST.
Our LOW-TECH solution is an ECOLOGICAL, ECONOMICAL, ERGONOMIC, and EVOLUTIVE CONSTRUCTION.
At SCHMIDTHAUS, the BBC (Low-Energy Building), BIOCLIMATIC (built according to natural resources), PASSIVE (a house that is self-sufficient in terms of energy), and POSITIVE (allowing the house to produce more energy than it consumes) are highly ecological homes that integrate perfectly into our revolutionary process, which stands out from all existing products on the construction market with excellent energy values and high-quality materials that exceed legal renewable standards by several years, making it a GREEN and SUSTAINABLE construction.
Conscious of the quality of our products, building in an eco-responsible way means protecting the environment and the biodiversity of our PLANET, against the massive deforestation of our FORESTS, which is essential for our FUTURE and for a better WORLD, and this will always be our SPIRIT SCHMIDTHAUS.
In the NATURE of a BUILDING is revealed the NATURE of MAN.
Our ECO-DESIGN aims to reduce the environmental impacts of our PRODUCTS throughout their LIFE cycle: from the extraction of raw materials WOOD, production, distribution and use until the end of its LIFE.
ECOLOGY our FUTURE by NATURE
Schmidthaus: Ecological Roots, Sustainable Future
True to our ROOTS, looking towards the FUTURE, with a deep sense of responsibility, we want to protect NATURE, its BIODIVERSITIES, ANIMALS, and the future of our CHILDREN. This is what you get in every SCHMIDTHAUS PRODUCT: exemplary quality, highly ecological, and you are in good hands for healthy LIVING spaces for FUTURE generations.
Did you know that thermal bridges are the cause of 30% of energy loss for a roof, 25% for walls and up to 10% for floors?
We can easily remedy this problem with our products, which combine performance and economy, and save up to 80% of solid wood compared to a passive house and 65% compared to a traditional house. A very significant phase shift (heat inputs and outputs from the building).
We have developed an ecological wooden frame system, which does not require additional insulation and provides complete breakage of thermal bridges. Heat and cool losses are thus eliminated.
ECOLOGICAL
The tree plays a determining role in the survival of humanity. In fact, it purifies the atmosphere, absorbs carbon dioxide which it releases in the form of oxygen, attracts water, filters it and stabilizes the soil. Essential for life, our life. We must be respectful and take care of it now more than ever.
All our wood will come from forests managed in an eco-responsible manner.
