whole house</h5> <p class="up left_text"> In order to maintain a house over the long-term, it is important to maintain the structure.<br>With wooden houses, it is especially important to prevent internal condensation in the walls and other enclosed portions of the structure.<br>SHAWOOD houses are constructed by first installing the roof and then working on the interior, thereby leaving no moisture.<br>By securing the airtightness of the envelope and leaving no gaps, moisture is prevented from entering the inside of the walls, and even if moisture does enter, it is discharged promptly.<br>In order to discharge moisture that enters from outside, SHAWOOD developed the Dual Ventilation System, with 2 air layers inside the walls.<br>By creating a passageway of air on the outside as well as the inside of the structural plywood, moisture is discharged using the natural upward flow of air.<br>Moreover, air passageways have been designed in locations such as the attic, under the floor and balcony, where moisture tends to accumulate.<br>Even if moisture ends up entering, the whole house discharges the moisture, improving the durability of the building. </p> <p
