Wooden houses for camping, glamping or leisure base

France is the main destination for houses built byCasArbor. Such houses/cabins are a common sight in the touristy landscaped areas there. The Sfântu Gheorghe-based company produces wooden pylon houses for campsites, glamping and leisure resorts around the world. For those unfamiliar with the term, glamping is a luxury, 5-star campsite with the highest quality facilities. Glamping, meaning glamour + camping. It's a new form of tourism, popular all over the world, that allows even the most demanding of guests to get close to nature without sacrificing comfort.

Casarbor's ambition is to sell this type of fully equipped and elegant cottages in Romania, bringing this type of tourism to the 4-5 star level in Romania. Their offer is aimed exclusively at other companies in the local tourism market. The company only accepts orders for a minimum of 2 cabins.

The models are complex, equipped with bathroom, kitchen and 1, 2 or even 3 bedrooms. For the short cottages, which have a room and a terrace, orders of minimum 10 pieces are accepted. The houses are well insulated and equipped with electric heating systems and can be lived in all year round.

Top cottages appreciated at Europe's biggest trade fairs

The cabins made in Sfântu Gheorghe are appreciated by customers from abroad, the confirmation coming from the biggest European trade fairs of this kind such as La Rochelle and Montpellier in France or Rimini and Padova in Italy. Since the first participations, the cabins have been very well received, with the client portfolio growing year after year. The very good quality of the materials used, the autoclaved wood with specific solutions for a very good outdoor resistance and the top equipment were the arguments that convinced each participation in the fair and each customer.

The new collection is built so that cottages can be lived in all year round, even where winters are not so mild, like ours. This is the main difference from the older models you can read more about here here.

The huts are raised from the ground, resting on rounded and autoclaved wooden pillars, which are very resistant to rot. The average weight of a hut is 3-4 tonnes, so the wooden pillars must be supported on poured concrete pillars as a small foundation. The walls are insulated with 10 cm thick basalt wool and the ceiling and floor with 14 cm thick basalt wool.

The wood used to build the houses is solid resinous wood. The exterior cladding is made of Scots pine treaty. The treatment is also done in the factory in Sfântu Gheorghe, in its own autoclave, and aims to increase the durability and resistance of the wood to external factors (rain, snow, wind, sun).

Tanalith™ and Tanatone are used for impregnation and are known to be the most effective solutions for treating wood used outdoors. Tanalith™ is the active solution and Tanatone is a staining product that stains wood in pleasant shades of brown. Both solutions are needed for the wood to be well protected. The treatment process is described in detail here.

Upon delivery the cottages have all the necessary facilities to be comfortably inhabited. The rooms are furnished, have storage space, the kitchen is furnished and equipped with all the necessary appliances, as is the bathroom, there is patio furniture. All appliances - stove, fridge, boiler, convectors in each room - are electric. The cottage can be easily connected to electricity and drinking water sources and sewage.
