Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Structures: A Milestone in Modern Timber Construction
![](/uploads/hDDYCBA7/painumaton-hirsi__msi___jpg.jpg)
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structures represent a significant milestone in modern timber construction. CLT is carefully manufactured by gluing layers of wood panels crosswise, creating a strong and durable building material. This innovative approach to using solid wood for construction panels offers numerous advantages over traditional construction methods.
Benefits of CLT Structures
One of the most significant benefits of CLT is its unique ability to resist settling. This means that CLT elements maintain their shape and structure over the years, making them an ideal choice for long-term construction. Additionally, CLT is an extremely precise material, simplifying the construction process and ensuring a high-quality final result.
The benefits of CLT structures go beyond just resistance to settling and precision. Entire CLT panels also offer significant advantages in speeding up design and construction. Large, ready-to-install panels reduce the time spent on planning and make construction more efficient. Their easy integration with beam and column structures makes CLT a versatile option for various building projects.
Furthermore, installing CLT structures in the warm part of the exterior significantly reduces the risk of mold and moisture damage. This makes CLT not only a durable but also a healthy choice for building materials. Its ability to balance humidity fluctuations in indoor air promotes the maintenance of good indoor air quality, making it particularly beneficial for asthmatics and allergy sufferers.
Comprehensive Solution for Durability, Speed, and Health
Thus, CLT structures represent a comprehensive solution that combines durability, speed, and health benefits in the construction industry. Their use opens the door to diverse building possibilities while promoting sustainable development and well-being for both building users and the environment.
- Entire panels reduce the time spent on planning.
- Large, ready-to-install panels speed up construction.
- CLT structures are easy to integrate with beam and column structures.
- When CLT structures are placed in the warm part of the exterior, mold and moisture damage risks are nearly non-existent.
- They balance humidity fluctuations well in indoor air, making them a healthy choice for asthmatics.
Versatility of CLT Structures
CLT products are used in public buildings, commercial buildings, hall construction, apartment buildings, and single-family homes. They are an ecological and cost-effective alternative. CLT structures are versatile, allowing for diverse architectural designs. Overall, CLT structures are an affordable, energy-efficient option.
Environmentally Friendly and Strong Solution
We use formaldehyde-free, environmentally friendly adhesives in the gluing process. Cross-laminating the CLT panel makes it strong. The structure is highly airtight. Customized CLT panels are manufactured ready for installation at our partner's factory. Large CLT panels enable rapid construction and minimize the number of butt joints between panels.
- CLT panels have cross-laminated wood layers with 3, 5, 7, or more layers.
- Environmentally friendly adhesives are used in the gluing process.
- CLT products come in large panels, 2.95 m x 16 m in size.
Our partners are some of the largest and most trusted wood product manufacturers in Europe.
