MULTI-STOREY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS Numerous residential building projects have already been built successfully with KLH solid wood panels – from detached houses to multi-storey blocks of flats and even the currently highest solid wood building in the world with 8 KLH storeys, located in London. Currently, noise protection requirements are the highest in Scandinavian countries, and they can only be met with complex constructions. Southern-European countries, on the other hand, allow simpler, more cost-effective wall and ceiling structures that fully meet the local noise protection regulations....

GENERAL PRINCIPLES GENERAL PRINCIPLES NOISE PROTECTION STATICS AND KLH PANEL THICKNESSES This Construction Component Catalogue contains a number of certified component structures with their relevant measured values. Many of the measurements were made in laboratories (construction components without side paths), most of them, however, were made on completed buildings. Apart from direct sound paths through individual building components, the side paths are also of importance. The panel thicknesses of the individual building components (wall, ceiling, roof) must be determined according to the static...

GENERAL PRINCIPLES Sound measurement in completed buildings also takes connections (angle brackets, screw connections) into consideration. Therefore, the results of measurements also include the effects of screw connections in the areas of elastic bearings. It also needs to be taken into account that load-bearing interior walls will usually burn down on both sides. For exterior walls, special attention must be paid to pillars between windows and doors. INSTALL ATIONs FIRE RESISTANCE For most of the building projects, installations were realised the usual way. Fillings and suspended ceilings were...

GENERAL PRINCIPLES BUILDING PHYSICS A wall should have a structure that is open for vapour diffusion in order to ensure that the wall absorbs moisture and dispenses it towards the inside, if necessary. This way you avoid the formation of condensation inside a wall structure and ensure a healthy and pleasant room climate. adhesive tape) is regarded as the safest variant. Special attention must also be paid to protruding KLH components running from the “warm” inside area to the “cold” outside area (e.g. protruding ceiling and roof panels). The joints between the individual KLH elements (e.g. shiplap...
