Author: IPS Cambodia

Published: 2022-11-24

Categories: Buying, Lifestyle Guide

One of the oldest and timeless styles of homes are wooden houses. It remains up to this day, a beautiful property in Cambodia that provides a different and more comfortable lifestyle than other properties. While some people might have misgivings in buying or renting a wooden house due to the primary material used for its construction, this should not be a deterrent. After all, living in a wooden house offers a number of advantages that can make your lifestyle better, especially if you are used to living in the city where spacious homes are a luxury and properties look similar to each other.

More than just experiencing a different ambience, you need to know the numerous perks of living in wooden houses. This is we’ve curated a thorough list below on what you can expect when you buy or rent a wooden house.

1. It’s Aesthetic

Whether you are an interior design aficionado or not, living in a wooden house guarantees making it easier for you to live that aesthetic life. Design-wise, from the architectural structure of the home to the finer features inside it, are all bound to be beautifully constructed.

Moreover, since the primary theme emphasized when wooden properties are built is living right in the middle of nature, the surrounding landscape fully supports that vision. This means more than just your home but the area around it will be filled with greenery.

However, this doesn’t mean that only wood is used to construct the whole house. While it would be the primary exterior and interior material, other materials like ceramic, marble, and more are used to design the home, depending on the developer or investor.

One of the best things about living in wooden houses is that it’s sustainable. Wood is a natural insulator so it’s easier to keep your household warm during cold seasons and cool during warm seasons. This means you don’t have to spend a lot of money on electricity and other energy costs just to make your home comfortably livable.

3. It’s Cost-Effective

If you decide to build a wooden home, the total construction costs you’ll pay for it is bound to be less than what you’d pay to build a home from the ground up with other materials like concrete. On the other hand, if you buy a wooden home or rent one and it needs repairs, your finances won’t suffer. Considering wood is inexpensive, hiring someone and buying the materials for repair will still be cheap.

4. It’s Versatile

Repairs, improvements, and renovations are necessary in a home. However, this proves to be difficult if the main material is not adaptable like concrete. This is not the case though with wood since it’s quite versatile, making it easy to bend, cut, join, or more with it to achieve the repair and improvements you want in your home.

5. It’s Spacious

Other materials are thick in width to ensure the formidability of the home. While this is good, it also lessens the living space available within the property. In wooden homes, however, you gain 8% extra living space since the walls in these properties are not as thick as concrete homes.
