clt : mass timber construction
Cross-laminated timber (also known as KLH®, BSP, CLT, X-LAM, Cross-Lam) is made by our Austrian partner KLH 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, ceiling 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.
