Houses from double mini-bar: features and advantages
Eco-friendly and cozy alternative to usual brick – wooden bar.

In houses from bar it is easily breathed, they do not dampen, differ in durability. However material has also shortcomings – inevitable walls and, as a result, frequent drafts.
Good replacement to normal bar – mini-option which is also called double groove. Material is produced by combined method – between boards up to 45 mm thick the heater layer is placed.
