The FERMACELL materials will be used in family houses that <NOBR>in Jílové</NOBR> near Prague are being realized by AWIK House Production

In collaboration with the development company DIREKT REAL, the company AWIK House Production Praha is preparing a low-energy residential housing project in Jílové near Prague in the role of general contractor. New family houses will be built here using the low-energy AWIK modular wooden construction system, with FERMACELL fiber gypsum materials fully utilized on walls, partitions, and floors. AWIK House Production's panels with the FERMACELL system have also successfully passed the certification process at VVÚD Praha. One of the largest low-energy wooden construction projects in Central Bohemia was awarded the Czech Energy and Ecological Project of the Year 2008 and received the special award from SFŽP for achieving very high-quality energy parameters.

The house projects incorporate the use of the AWIK standard external wall construction with a 40 mm FERMACELL fiber gypsum board façade. The façade is insulated with 100 mm of polystyrene; on the first floor, it will be finished with plaster, and on the second floor, it will feature wooden cladding made of Siberian larch. For heating the houses, a warm air heating system with heat recovery (ATREA system) is used.

The house designs were created in collaboration with Acad. arch. Miloslav Čejka, resulting in house variants that respect the shape of the plot and meet the sunlight conditions for the rooms, as well as maintaining the privacy of neighbors. The houses have two above-ground floors and include either a garage or parking space on the property.

Construction is planned to start in January 2011 and be completed by December 2011. Preparatory works are already underway – foundation slabs, utility connections, access roads, and lighting.
