In a world where waste reduction has become a priority, Gablok stands out for its innovative approach with its insulated wood block self-build system. By using prefabricated elements and providing precise plans, Gablok ensures clean, waste-free construction of your home.
Precise planning to avoid waste
Before each project, your house plans are carefully examined and transformed into a Gablok assembly plan. In this way, our team can accurately assess the number of elements you'll need.
This planning and analysis of your project is an important step in the preparation of your self-build. Thanks to it, every Gablok project contributes to waste reduction by providing you with only the quantity you need. No more, no less.

Prefabrication: the key to waste-free construction
After analyzing your architect's plans and validating your project together, we launch production of all the components of your self-build kit.
We design only what's needed to build your home. This technique not only avoids overproduction, but also enables us to work with local companies to design all your self-build blocks in Belgium.
Hassle-free completion of your project
One of the main advantages of the Gablok method is to avoid the end of building sites being cluttered with unused building materials .
More often than not, building sites leave behind piles of lumber, concrete and other materials that you don't know what to do with. Many people prefer to stock up rather than run out in the middle of construction.The result is not only considerable waste, but also a waste management problem if you don't know how to dispose of it properly.
Gablok solves this problem. Thanks to precise planning and pre-fabrication of each element, you receive exactly the quantity you need for your self-build. No more leftover materials lying around your finished house. Not only does this contribute to the cleanliness of your building site, but also to more responsible resource management. A small step forward for our planet.
Self-building in harmony with the environment
Using Gablok insulated wood blocks offers many advantages in terms of waste reduction and energy efficiency.
Our prefabricated blocks are designed to fit together perfectly, reducing cutting errors and material waste on the building site. By integrating insulation directly into its blocks, Gablok also eliminates the need for additional insulating materials, often a source of waste.
This approach not only ensures cleaner, faster construction, but also optimum energy performance. Homes built with insulated wood blocks benefit from superior thermal insulation, enabling you to save energy and reduce your ecological footprint in the long term.
Gablok insulated wood blocks are made from OSB, a composite material of thin strips of wood pressed and glued together. OSB is made from small dimensional lumber and wood waste. What would otherwise be waste is transformed into an efficient material. What's more, OSB offers excellent strength and durability, contributing to a long-term reduction in other wastes.
Gablok is committed not only to responsible resource management, but also to a more ecological and economical approach to construction.
Fast, efficient self-build
The Gablok approach is not limited to waste reduction. By using prefabricated elements, construction time is also reduced.
Your kit is delivered ready for assembly. In addition to the wooden elements, other accessories are supplied in the right quantities, such as fixing screws, rafters and a rain screen. As you can see, all you need is a ladder and your screwdriver to get started on your timber-frame self-build. It couldn't be simpler.
