CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER (CLT)
Concrete of the Future!
Cross-laminated timber (CLT, X-LAM, Cross-Lam) is made from spruce slats stacked atop of each other which are bonded using high press force and formaldehyde free adhesives to form large-format building elements.
​
​The elements are statically stressed construction elements and are used as wall, floor and roof panels in solid timber construction projects. Thanks to the cross-wise structure of the longitudinal and cross-slats, wood expansion and shrinkage in the panel plane is reduced to an insignificant minimum. At the same time, this raises the structural load capacity and dimensional stability in the panel plane.
Areas of Application
-
They are used in the construction of single-family houses, multi-storey residential buildings, public buildings, administrative buildings, in industrial and commercial construction, for reconstructions and extensions as well as in bridge construction.
​
-
Dimensioning and design take place according to the static, building-physics and legal requirements. Therefore, solid cross-laminated timber boards are exclusively manufactured in a project-related manner and to order.

Assembly & Installation
Prefabricated & Modular
The cut-to-size solid cross-laminated timber elements are delivered to the construction site just in time, and we assist with assembly and installation, using a building crane within the shortest possible construction period.
The connection of tradition, well-founded craftsmanship and state-of-the-art timber construction technology enables individual, stable-value constructing with particular attention being attached to the environment and energy consumption.
Panel Types
Structurally, Thermally, Acoustically - Sound
CLT is offered in 3 standard qualities. Upon request special surfaces and panel built-ups are possible, depending on the availability of the raw lamellas and technical feasibility. Special structures are possible upon request.
​
By using double layers, the board’s longitudinal and transverse rigidity can be increased in a targeted manner. Changes to the board structure can be used to increase its fire resistance in order to meet special project requirements.

Fire Resistance Rating
Surprised it's fire resistant? You Shouldn't Be
During a fire resistance test of a 5-ply cross-laminated timber (CLT) panel wall, the panel was subjected to temperatures exceeding 980 C and lasted 3 hours and 6 minutes.
​
During fires, exposed mass timber chars on the outside, which forms an insulating layer protecting interior wood from damage
