We offer to our customers high quality houses made from massive wood from carefully selected essences of pine, fir and spruce from Romanian forests. The wood is either handcrafted or mechanically processed in accordance with client preferences and type of construction. The timber is dried using modern technology and is treated against insects and fungi according to European standards.
Our project department is qualified to assist our clients in shaping up their construction plan. This can be a vacation house, residence home, public places as restaurants, hotels and camping sites or simple garden houses for recreation. We also have a portfolio of different models of various sizes which is meant to cover the most important and frequent features a customer usually needs from a wooden house. The construction plans are designed with the assistance of a specialized modern software - SEMA – which is dedicated for wooden structures.
Apart of designing the wooden house and providing the construction kit, Ecomed International is ready to cover additional area of services as it is the assistance at assembling/mounting the kit at the final place, the transport logistic or selection of best local suppliers for different accessories.

These constructions are either residential and vacation houses or tourism lodges.
Last year Ecomed International started a process of consultancy in order to implement a better system of quality management according to international standard ISO 9001:2001. This process enabled us to better control and continuosly improve the quality of our products in order to increase the satisfaction of our customers.

Multilayered gluelam beams are very strong engineering structures comprising several layers of timber slices. They are are made by fitting together several wooden profiles in a hydraulic press using special adhesives that resist humidity and extreme temperatures. These beams have a special mechanical resistance to curving and bending therefore they are extremely useful for making the large structural supports required for large buildings such as sports or theatre halls. Our laminated beams are made of resinous wood, dried at up to 8 % humidity, and treated against fungal and parasites, while the adhesive which is used has special resistance to temperature and humidity variations.
Ecomed International is producing beams of various sizes up to a maximum thickness of 250 mm and up to 1,200 mm in height. Depending on the project, they may be straight or curved and they can be of any length. Additionally, if they consist of vertical elements, the laminated beams can also be used for making structural walls where high thicknesses are required. The laminated beams are processed and finished on the outside in the same way as our massive timber beams, they are therefore very suitable for use in our massive timber designs.
? The EX-WORKS price for laminated multilayered beams is 450 Euro / m3. In addition to our standard models, we can manufacture personalised buildings for the exact needs and specifications of the client. Our design department provides free consultancy and support service for adapting existing projects to wooden construction designs. We can advise you on the choice of the most appropriate model, the type of foundation required, the type of roof system available, and most importantly, how to ensure you get the most from your budget! The choice of a certain type of building is a decision based on countless factors. Among them, the location, the purpose of its use, the number of persons to use that building, and many other factors, including the budget you have. All our standard models have considerable flexibility in their final design, and if we can’t adapt one of these to meet your needs we will guarantee to create a new product that will! Our construction and design specialists are always at your service to give honest, appropriate and helpful advice.
