Cross laminated timber or clt is a structural prefabricated panel used to form environmentally sustainable walls roofs and floors across a wide range of structures.
Cross laminated timber flooring.
All timber elements and factory installed connection hardware is supplied by ecological design solutions pty ltd details we design with you the structure you want to build out of cross laminated panels.
The strength dimensional stability and rigidity of clt allow it to be used in mid and high rise buildings.
Serving as a significantly lighter replacement for concrete crosslam clt is carbon negative and uses wood exclusively from.
Cross laminated timber clt is the engineered wood of the future and is making the construction of entire buildings from timber a reality.
Katerra offers 11 different cross laminated timber clt layup configurations to give our customers design flexibility to meet their specific needs.
Engineered wood also called mass timber composite wood man made wood or manufactured board includes a range of derivative wood products which are manufactured by binding or fixing the strands particles fibres or veneers or boards of wood together with adhesives or other methods of fixation to form composite material the panels vary in size but can range upwards of 64 by 8 feet 19 5.
Cross laminated timber clt is a large scale prefabricated solid engineered wood panel.
Clt offers design flexibility and low environmental impacts.
Cross laminated timber clt a sub category of engineered wood is a wood panel product made from gluing together layers of solid sawn lumber i e lumber cut from a single log each layer of boards is usually oriented perpendicular to adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board usually in a symmetric way so that the outer layers have the same orientation.
The gluing of both longitudinal and transverse layers which reduces the movement of the wood means that clt more than meets the standards required by modern building materials.
Katerra offers three five seven and nine ply layups with various thicknesses reaching up to 12 4 inches.
Lightweight yet very strong with superior acoustic fire seismic and thermal performance clt is also fast and easy to install generating almost no waste onsite.
Adding value to a natural renewable resource through technology building with xlam clt panels is fast safe economical and good for the planet.
After being widely adopted in europe.
Cross laminated timber clt is a wood panel system that is rapidly gaining popularity in the u s.
