Innovative Concepts for Tiny Homes and even your traditional home designs
Applying the sound principles of eco-friendly technologies most often found in expensive homes, Woods Direct in association with DuraVilla Homes are bringing the highest quality homes to the Caribbean and any other preferred location. The combination of DuraVilla’s engineered panel system and a variety of available exterior styles – including beautiful Greenheart wood -make for an attractive, durable and sustainable. This innovative building system allows the construction process to be predictable in terms of time and cost.
Utilizing new engineering concepts and technologies for the design and construction of buildings and homes. Guyana’s timber products have now been incorporated in these designs in the form of roof shingles, external walls, decking, internal decorative walls, floors, custom made shutters, doors and other decorative and structural wood components.
These concepts and designs utilize “green principles” which are environmentally friendly, minimize materials waste; reduce construction time and substantially lower the carbon foot print and negative environmental impact which is so obvious on construction sites.
Schedule and Cost Predictability
One of the major challenges in home construction is unpredictability of time and cost. DuraVilla Homes’ construction system allows the land owner to have a much more accurate estimate of when the home will be completed, and what it will actually cost. The DuraVilla concept provides a solution for those who desire to build an island residence, retirement home or vacation retreat, but do not have the time or desire to supervise the long construction process. The physical components of the company’s Building System are joined with a unique construction process, which allows DuraVilla to build beautiful homes in a matter of weeks.
The Tropical Lifestyle Becomes a Reality with Beautiful Tropical Hardwood
Whether elevated on a hillside or nestled just off the beach, land owners can create an absolutely stunning home with the use of tropical hardwood inside and out. The names of such woods as Greenheart , Purpleheart, Kabukalli, Guyanese Mahogany (Crabwood) and Guyanese Cherry (Mora) stir the hearts of those who appreciate the finer living of a natural hardwood environment.
Flexible Architecture – Inside and Out
For those who prefer Mediterranean, Spanish or Tuscan architecture, the DuraVilla system supports the smooth or textured finish of stucco. The limitations of traditional construction methods are a thing of the past. No more shall the cumbersome restrictions of using concrete construction limit home styling choices. With the DuraVilla panel system there are few design limits. It is adaptable to many architectural features and is affordable.
Eco-Friendly from Top to Bottom
Through the combination of tropical hardwoods like Greenheart and the engineered panel system, DuraVilla Homes creates a natural habitat for today’s eco-friendly emphasis. The homes are designed and built using “green” principles and technologies, and maintain a measurably lower carbon footprint during construction and use than traditional methods and materials. The need for air conditioning will be greatly reduced while inside temperatures remain comfortable, due to the insulating qualities of the DuraVilla system.
Built to Last, Designed for Comfort, Engineered for Strength
One might think that flexibility, affordability, and being eco-friendly means that durability and quality need to be sacrificed. Not so. In fact, the DuraVilla Building system is an amazing alternative to concrete systems that does not compromise strength or durability. The Premium Engineered DuraVilla Panels are designed and tested to withstand extreme hurricane winds (up to 230 MPH) in tropical regions. They are virtually immune to decay and attack by termites, are resistant to mold, mildew, water and even fire. The panels don’t twist, warp, bend, or deteriorate on the job site due to weather, moisture or similar job site problems.
DuraVilla’s Greenheart wood exterior is a very popular choice. Greenheart siding does not retain heat. This helps keep the home cool and inviting. It’s an environmentally-friendly tropical hardwood that requires no chemical treatment for preservation. Greenheart has a higher fire resistance rating than any other wood in its class, is naturally resistant to decay and termites — as well as to marine organisms – and is approximately five times stronger than domestic species in every relevant physical property.
