Слияние с городской средой, окружающей архитектурой и природой является предпосылкой для красивого и гармоничного дома. Крыша – одна из главных его частей. Она имеет большое значение в формировании образа здания, и, конечно, укрывает от дождя, зноя, снега и ветра.
   

Чистая окружающая среда оказывает положительное воздействие и на состояние здоровья человека, и на его самочувствие. Так как большую часть дня человек проводит дома, важно содержать его в порядке и не загрязнять воздух химикатами. Мы подготовили рекомендации о том, как натуральные чистящие средства могут помочь в ежедневной уборке. Знаете ли вы о том, что чистящие средства могут быть щадящие по отношению к дому, жильцам и окружающей среде?

Маленькие и функциональные деревянные дома. Какой из небольших домиков Dores площадью 35, 46 и 50 квадратных метров выбрать? Дома выходного дня, бани, кемпинг или, может быть, первый долгожданный жилой дом?

Теплые лучи утреннего солнца, залитый дневным светом письменный стол, нежный закат в комнате… –  все это обеспечивается окнами, играющими важную роль в строительстве домов.

На этот раз мы рассмотрим, какими особенностями обладают деревянные окна, почему их стоит выбирать и что нужно делать для того, чтобы они служили до 100 лет.

We invite everyone to visit us at the Ecobuild 2014 exhibition in London from 4-6 March to take part in the world’s leading event for sustainable design, construction, energy and the built environment.    

Wood as a material is essentially everlasting; for instance, an 800-year-old wooden church in Norway serves as a living proof. In order to ensure that this living material serves well, one must understand it and know how to take care of a wooden house. Edgars tells about longevity of wooden houses and wood finishing solutions.    

Dores Factory was recently the first company in Latvia to try out the new online self-assessment tool called Responsible Business Evaluation. Previously a sustainability assessment index was available only for larger companies, however, now also smaller businesses can use the tool to evaluate their level of sustainability. Dores was praised for its foresight, determination and awareness.

As of last year we have started a beautiful new tradition – planting forests on every Dore’s birthday! We aim to continue this tradition as long as there is space for young forest stands in Latvia. Have a look at this year’s celebration.    

When building a home, future homeowners have to take a number of decisions – from choosing the materials for the construction of the building to furnishing it. Our expert on ecological lifestyle highlights what should be taken in consideration when making choices for your future home to be sure that you’ve chosen sustainable building materials.    

The beginning of the year marked a release of a new book, “A Latvian’s home”. The author of the book, Janīna Kursīte, is well known in Latvia as a literature specialist, folklorist, linguist and a writer. Apart from being passionate about language and the written word, she is also passionate about wooden architecture and wooden houses. Since 1999 the writer has gone on many expeditions near and far; her travels have led her to homes of Latvians in Russia, Belarus and the West.

Edgars Ivanovs, a supporter of sustainable lifestyle, will broaden your horizons on building an energy-efficient home and what it means to be living in one. It soon becomes evident that an energy-efficient home is not only a beautiful and logical choice, but also a beneficial one.    

When hearing of house fires, people automatically associate them with wooden houses. Edgars Bukšāns, the technical laboratory manager of Research and Development Institute of Forests and Wood Manufacturing (MeKa), explains how safe is wood and that the construction material makes little difference when acting recklessly.    

This week from 3^rd of March through 5^th of March Dores Factory is taking part in Ecobuild exhibition in London. Ecobuild is the largest marketplace of sustainable and environmentally conscious design, construction and energy in Europe.    

It is two and a half years since a Dores’ home has been a part of a long-term experiment. It pleases us to see that the unique study of the wooden house shows better results than predicted by Dores’ experts and the energy efficiency indexes surpass those of other popular construction materials.    

Dores Factory was exploring the east this February, taking part in “Eco House & Eco Building Expo” in Tokyo, Japan. To find out more about the importance of a home and traditions in this distant land we engaged in a conversation with the first Ambassador of Latvia in Japan Pēteris Vaivars and his wife Rina.     

Ideologist and creator of Dores Factory Egons Garklavs tells his recent observations in global construction trends that people are returning to wooden houses.
