No, the majority of Boreal  buildings can be assembled on the construction site without the use of heavy equipment.

The electric wiring must be planned in such a way that the outlets are located in the interior walls. The wires are run through the floor joists according to a very detailed plan. They are then passed through each row of Thermolog until they reach their final destination.

To protect the wood, we apply a tinted WoodPlus-brand varnish of the highest quality which has a 5-year warranty. To preserve the appearance of the outside surfaces of your home, it is recommended that stain be applied every 5 to 8 years. A protector with an opaque finish can also be used, which may reduce the frequency of maintenance to every 12 to 15 years.

For our insulated walls, we mainly use white pine that has been oven-dried to a 6% to 10% humidity level. Moreover, our technicians carefully sort the wood during the lamination process. Spruce is used for the frame of the building because of its structural advantages.

As a general rule, for a 24’x 24′, it will take a four-person team 5 to 10 days to assemble the floor, the structure, the walls, the doors and windows as well as the roof. This is obviously a lot faster than for a light 2”x6’wood frame building. This is possible because of how we prepare our kits at the factory. Once on site, you simply have to put it together! The measurements and intricate cuts have already been made by the Boreal team.
