Timber Frame Construction

CLT

CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) is an innovative and sustainable construction material composed of cross‑laminated layers of solid wood. This crosswise structure provides exceptional stability, high load‑bearing capacity and outstanding structural performance. As a renewable, low‑carbon alternative to concrete and steel, CLT is produced from sustainably managed forests and offers significant environmental benefits. It is suitable for a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial building applications.

Qualities
Advantages of CLT
- Exceptional strength and stability
  The cross‑laminated structure creates stiff, dimensionally stable panels capable of carrying high loads with minimal movement.
- Environmentally friendly and CO₂‑reducing
  CLT is made from renewable, sustainably sourced wood. It stores carbon and requires significantly less energy to produce than steel or concrete.
- Fast and efficient construction
  CLT panels are prefabricated to size, including openings and connection points. This enables rapid on‑site assembly and shorter construction times.
- Excellent thermal and acoustic performance
  Solid wood panels provide natural insulation and strong acoustic properties, reducing energy consumption and improving indoor comfort.
- Highly versatile
  CLT is suitable for floors, walls, roofs, stairwells, lift shafts and complete structural systems. It is ideal for timber frame projects, hybrid construction and multi‑storey timber buildings.
Applications
CLT is widely used in professional construction projects:
- Floor and roof panels: high strength‑to‑stiffness ratio, ideal for large spans
- Load‑bearing and partition walls: suitable for structural and interior wall systems
- Complete timber structures: sustainable alternative to concrete for housing, apartments and utility buildings
- Hybrid construction systems: easily combined with steel and concrete
- Stairwells and lift shafts: excellent fire and dimensional performance for modular or stacked systems
- Prefab and modular building: lightweight, predictable and fast to assemble
Technical specifications
Material composition
- Cross‑laminated layers of solid wood
- Typical species: spruce (Picea abies), occasionally pine or Douglas fir
- Strength class: C24
Durability and performance
- Fire reaction: depends on thickness and finishing (typically class D‑s2, d0 or higher)
- Acoustic performance: excellent airborne and impact sound reduction when used in layered assemblies
- Shrinkage and swelling: limited due to cross‑laminated construction
