WES construction system
All WES constructions are manufactured with a load-bearing wall system.
This system, also called the diaphragm panel, is made up of a series of horizontal and vertical wooden posts that make up the skeleton of the walls and floors. These skeletons are closed on both sides with wooden boards, forming a compact and light element, with a very high load capacity and exceptional thermal and acoustic insulation performance.This type of construction is included in detail in the technical building code.
We are also proud that our panel is built 100% by woods from eco-sustainable forests, thus reducing the carbon footprint and making our contribution in the fight against climate change.
Our panels constitute the minimum unit of completion time, and playing with their thickness and surface finishings allow us to use them of load-bearing walls, enclosure, interior partitions and slabs.
There are two types of industrialized homes, those of on-site assembly and the modular ones. Differences? On-site assembly units are completed on-site, while modular units are assembled from the factory and only the workmanship are made on-site.
Which ones are better? Both are just as good, it is not better to do it one way or another, it depends on the conditions of the land, the access to the plot and some aspects of the design of the house itself. In less than 6 months from the start of the work, the house will be ready for customers to start enjoying it.
2D CONSTRUCTION “ON SITE”
We speak of 2D or “on site” construction when the panels are transported and assembled at the destination. The panels are stacked and carefully packed and then transported by truck to the destination. Once there, they are placed and assembled in their final position with the help of a crane. After this process, both exterior and interior finishes are made, windows and doors are placed, electrical installations, plumbing are incorporated, roofs are waterproofed, etc.As can be understood, it is a process that takes a greater amount of work time on site and less time in the factory.
In addition, it must be taken into account that the foundation for this system must be made with a slab or sanitary floor.
ADVANTAGES OF THE 2D SYSTEM
- Total freedom in design.
- Lower transport costs
- Easier access to the plot
Wespanel, the basis of our system
"MODULAR" 3D SYSTEM
We speak of 3D or “modular” construction when the house is divided into cubic fragments or modules that are finished both internally and externally from the factory. These modules are installed and assembled together on site. The times of execution on site are considerably reduced, since the modules are 90% finished in the factory, incorporating windows, doors, waterproofing of roofs, facilities, etc.Another characteristic of this system is that the modules are self-supporting. This means that the foundation options are varied. From sanitary slabs and floors, to piles and even other more innovative systems that the market offers.
ADVANTAGES OF THE 3D SYSTEM
- Minimum working time on site.
- Total factory control of finishes.
- Different foundation options.
LIMITATIONS
- Maximum dimensions for logistics

INNOVATIVE WORK METHODOLOGIES
Bim methodology
We use BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology in all our projects. This means that we make a virtual model of your home, where each element to be manufactured is previously modeled.This translates into total control of the operation, notably increasing the quality of the work and reducing last minute extra costs. With this methodology and applying innovative technologies, our workers can know in detail the information and definitive location of each element.
QUALITY CONTROLS
WOOD TEST
All the wood used in the structures is rigorously plastered in accordance with national and European regulations to guarantee maximum resistance and durability.
METAL TEST
The metallic elements are protected from corrosion by means of a certified compound, in addition to carrying out a rigorous test to verify welds and joints to guarantee maximum structural safety.
INSTALLATION TEST
All installations are subjected to high working pressures to check that there are no leaks at the joints and to guarantee a correct operation.
TIGHTNESS TEST
The roofs are tested by flooding for 24 hours, ensuring that the waterproofing has been carried out correctly and that it is watertight.
ACOUSTIC TEST
Our panels have been tested in the laboratory, guaranteeing adequate noise reduction rates. The materials used in insulation, due to their porous structure, absorb sound waves, which makes them excellent acoustic insulators.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY TEST
Thanks to the insulating nature of the panels and the wood itself, thermal bridges are minimized and a continuous thermal envelope is achieved, which allows us to achieve A and higher energy efficiency values. This translates into comfortable indoor temperatures with minimal investment.
OUR PARTNERS
At Wes we look for the leading companies that offer us the necessary quality. That is why we only work with large companies such as Rhotoblaas, Finsa, Sika, Roca, Saloni, Rockwool and other professionals in the construction and wood sector.
MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY FACILITIES
Aerothermy
AEROTHERMY is a clean technology that extracts up to 77% of the energy from the air for free. Aerothermal systems are state-of-the-art heat pumps designed to provide cooling in summer, heating in winter and, if desired, domestic hot water (DHW) all year round.How does it work?
The system extracts ambient energy contained in the air temperature, even below zero, and transfers it to the room or tap water. This is achieved through the thermodynamic cycle that uses a refrigerant gas compressed at very low temperatures to extract heat from the outside air.Aerothermal energy provides more energy than it consumes. Thanks to this low energy consumption compared to gas, diesel, fuel oil, propane, pellets, etc., aerothermal energy is the energy solution in most office buildings, airports, cinemas, etc.
Advantages of aerothermal
- High efficiency. It consumes less energy (kWh) than traditional heating systems, and that can be seen in the monthly bill.
- It is a renewable energy, collected as such in the CTE (Technical Building Code).
- It is sustainable, and is classified as such by the European Union. It requires almost no maintenance, it is like any other household appliance.
- It does not produce combustion (there is no boiler). There is no smoke or residue. It is safer.
- The whole house can run exclusively on electricity, without the need to contract gas or fuel supplies. It may offer air conditioning.
- Low cost hot water. The aerothermal installation is much better and simpler than those operating with non-renewable energies.
- Their outputs can be combined (traditional radiators, underfloor heating, heat pumps, etc.)
- It is the heating system with the lowest energy consumption.
Heat recovery
A heat recovery unit is a device that makes it possible to recover part of the energy from the heated air inside a room or premises, through the mechanical ventilation system of said air, by means of an exchanger that puts the interior air that is extracted into contact with the one from the outside that is introduced, without mixing the air from the two circuits.In winter it works by heating the cold air that comes in from outside, while in summer it allows cooling the hot air from outside, also having filters that reduce the level of pollutants and considerably improve the quality of said air.
Radiating floor
The underfloor heating installation consists of a network of plastic tubes of cross-linked polyethylene or polybutylene, which are installed under the pavement and of a layer of self-leveling mortar through which hot water circulates at a temperature between 30ºC and 45ºC.This is the heating system that uses the lowest flow water temperature.
As a reference, a conventional radiator installation uses a water supply temperature of about 70ºC.
