Leading prefabricated house manufacturer
Outstanding quality, attractive design, good price-performance ratio and reliable customer service are our claims – all naturally in consideration of nature and the health of our customers.
The wish of more and more builders for a healthy house is growing. Health is our most precious asset, our most vital nutrition is the air we breathe. Indoor air is of special importance, particularly when you think that we spend an average of 80 % of our time in closed rooms.
Healthy building should not be a luxury, but should be a benefit for all building families at a good value-for-money price, something of which Johannes Schwörer (managing director) is fully convinced. Accordingly, SchwörerHaus is subject to the strict assurance process of the Sentinel Haus Institut and TÜV Rheinland for the health-promoting quality in the interior rooms of Schwörer houses.
A house tested for harmful substances with a very good indoor air is the basis for a healthy living. Headaches, lack of concentration, tiredness, dizziness, rashes, asthma – the list of disease symptoms that can be caused by harmful substances in a house is long. They escape from walls and floors or are in furniture.
Therefore, it is important for a healthy house to choose the right building materials so that as few harmful substances as possible manage to get into the house. Not only harmful substances in the indoor air are amongst the keywords affecting healthy housing, also electro-smog, permanent noise pollution, sufficient daylight and protection from summer heat are all components of a lasting healthy life.
We take the wish of an increasing number of builders for a healthy housing very seriously. In order to document our commitment in this area as comprehensively as possible, we decided – together with the renowned Sentinel Haus Institut and TÜV Rheinland – to put ourselves to a large-scale practical test: as proven, SchwörerHaus build houses assessed for their health that meet the highest demands for indoor air quality.
Natural building material wood
Thanks to drying and conditioning, when it comes to timber-based construction materials, Schwörer can do without chemical wood preservers.
Certified building and extension materials
Materials relevant for the quality of indoor air are tested for harmful substances from a health perspective.
Fresh air
The Schwörer fresh-air heat-recovery technology – a system to control the ventilation of living spaces – continually provides for fresh air even when the windows are closed. Pollen filters can be added as an option for allergy sufferers.
Plenty of daylight
Sufficient supply of daylight is also important for the health. The optimal size and clever arrangement of the windows is just as important as the overall window area.
Good sound insulation
Thanks to high-quality building materials and well-thought-out construction, Schwörer houses score excellent sound insulation values.
The requirements of the German Energy Saving Ordinance on the building envelope are becoming more stringent every year. Hence, for energy reasons, houses are becoming more airtight.
In the past, harmful substances were able to pass through the air-permeable building envelope to the outside and fresh air to the inside. In new, energy-saving air-tight buildings or renovated buildings, this exchange of air can no longer take place. Harmful substances can therefore accumulate inside the building.
Especially in these houses, harmful and burdensome building and extension materials must be reduced. A sufficient exchange of air additionally contributes to healthy housing. A controlled ventilation system with heat recovery is an optimum addition.
PEFC certified timber from regional forests is cut in the Schwörer sawmill, carefully dried and processed into high-quality, quality-tested building materials. This is the prerequisite that we are able to do all our work without chemical timber preservation.
Cement-bonded solid building board (or equivalent) in exterior walls and ceilings provides good sound insulation. The solid building material consists of untreated wood and cement.
The controlled ventilation system with heat recovery provides for dehumidification of the living spaces and ensures a healthy exchange of air without any loss of heat – the best prevention against moisture damages.
The dry construction method used and the construction optimised to prevent thermal bridging in interaction with the air-tight building envelope are the fundamental prerequisites for preventing mould growth.
In coordination with the Sentinel Haus Institut, only certified extension materials with low levels of harmful substances are permitted. These are deposited in-house in a special database.
Our cooperation with the Sentinel Haus Institut and TÜV Rheinland for the proof HEALTHIER BUILDINGS stands for compliance with the legal values, or even for the values which are significantly below these.
Schwörer houses are verifiable certified for residential health that meet the requirements of the highest indoor air quality. In cooperation with the renowned Sentinel Haus Institut and TÜV Rheinland, we also offer certified indoor air measurements. This means that every customer has his test results in black and white.
“Light. Air. Life. ” This is the motto of the first Schwörer Healthy House, in which more than 40 brand manufacturers from the European construction industry are project partners demonstrating what an ecological and healthy home can look like today: among other things including a multifunctional roof for daylight and energy generation, shading by electrochromic glazing as well as a holistic lighting concept.
Thanks to this exemplary partnership under the direction of SchwörerHaus, the first “Schwörer Healthy House” was built in Mühlacker – not as a show house, but as a real residential building on a specific plot of land in compliance with building regulations and according to the wishes of the clients Christine and Norbert Weimper. The experienced construction specialised journalist and construction blogger (bau-blogger.de) wanted to use his own construction project to show what modern house construction has to offer when many innovative individual products are combined into an ambitious, functioning complete ensemble – energy-efficient, healthy and yet affordable.

FlyingSpaces: Tiny Houses
FlyingSpaces or Tiny houses are high-quality modules that work as an entire mini house, single-room extension or even in combination.
Semi-detached houses
Semi-detached houses are a good alternative, when construction density is concerned. The construction of semi-detached and terraced houses is of interest for inner-city plots in particular.
Houses with an annex
Do you want a second, self-contained residential unit within your single-family home, so that you can rent it out or have grandparents or adult children in the house?
Multiple-family homes
Are you looking for a secure, long-term, low-risk investment? From a financial and strategic perspective, investment in a multiple-family home is worthwhile.
