WHAT IS CLT?

MODERN TIMBER CONSTRUCTION

CLT technology — Cross-Laminated Timber — is a modern way to return to timber construction!
It combines the natural, human-friendly properties of wood with advanced technologies that ensure structural stability and strength.
CLT is a solid, structurally efficient, and space-forming wooden element that can meet a wide range of construction requirements thanks to its flexible dimensions and excellent mechanical and physical properties.

The cross-laminated configuration, consisting of 3 to 9 layers of high-quality softwood lamellae, creates dimensionally stable and rigid components with low self-weight. Simple connection details allow for cost-effective use across all areas of construction.

CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER (CLT) IS A VERSATILE BUILDING MATERIAL. CLT OFFERS UNLIMITED ARCHITECTURAL POSSIBILITIES!

APPLICATIONS OF CLT

  • Single-family and multi-family homes
  • Public buildings (museums, hospitals)
  • Hotels and guesthouses
  • Schools, kindergartens, nurseries
  • Commercial buildings (offices, warehouses, etc.)

ADVANTAGES OF CLT WOOD

Precision manufacturing, durability, fast assembly, excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, and an environmentally friendly footprint make CLT a truly exceptional building material.
Your CLT home will be a cozy and healthy space to live in!

CLT components are prefabricated on specialized production lines and assembled on-site using steel connectors. CLT is lighter than concrete, reducing foundation costs and significantly speeding up the building process.

CLT has high fire resistance. The charred outer layer of wood blocks oxygen access and slows down combustion. CLT panels are earthquake-resistant due to wood’s natural flexibility and specially engineered joints — a 7-story CLT building can withstand seismic activity measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale.

As a natural insulator, CLT outperforms reinforced concrete and brick. For example, an 11 cm, 5-layer CLT wall has a U-value of 0.9 W/m²K, compared to 4.2 W/m²K for concrete of the same thickness. Thinner CLT walls also increase usable floor space.

Thinner walls made with CLT result in greater interior space. In a 100 m² home (10 x 10 m), CLT can provide up to 4 m² more usable area compared to traditional structures. This is a financial benefit for developers and a practical one for homeowners.

CLT buildings are naturally aesthetic and offer great freedom in interior design. The wood can be stained, exposed, or finished in many ways, making CLT a highly attractive material for contemporary architecture.

CLT PANEL PRODUCTION

CLT panels are made from sustainably harvested wood. The process includes kiln drying, cross-laminating, and pressing to produce high-strength, dimensionally stable panels.

Boards, finger-jointed and planed, are laid side by side, arranged in perpendicular layers (90° angles), and glued over large surfaces.
Each panel contains at least three layers of lamellas arranged symmetrically. Before pressing, the side edges are compressed to reduce gaps.

To avoid uncontrolled cracking, narrow sides of lamellas are not structurally connected, ensuring controlled expansion and long-term durability.
