The carbon dioxide that is absorbed by trees during their growth remains stored in the wood throughout the lifespan of the timber products manufactured from the wood. At the end of their life cycle, timber products can be used elsewhere, recycled...

CLT Cross Laminated Timber CLT is a solid wood construction product consisting of at least three bonded single-layer panels arranged at right angles to each other. From five layers, CLT can also include middle layers (transverse layers) without narrow side bonding. Sizes of up to 2.95 × 16.00 m can currently be produced — widths of > 2.95 m are also available on request. CLT solid wood panels are made up of several layers and are available in different panel thicknesses. The layers are bonded with carefully selected adhesives that are suitable for the respective purpose. CLT products are long-lasting...

Readyto-fit wall panels The pre-cut CLT panels are delivered by truck directly to your construction site, ready for fitting by a construction company.

Visually appealing Manufactured by means of sustainable processes, refined with care, worked with superior skill, this wood construction material meets exceptional quality standards. CLT is available in non-visible, industrial visible and visible quality, and each individual...

Building responsibly The world needs to take a new approach to materials. Today, the building sector accounts for 40% of the continuously increasing use of materials throughout the world. The surface area of buildings is expected to more than double by 2050, and the need for renovations and building extensions is increasing in pace with the growth in population. Ever more stringent requirements placed on energy efficiency for the value-added chain and the use of buildings have been and are continuing to be imposed. This is where wood comes into play: as a renewable and climate-friendly material,...

Top marks in all areas CLT has outstanding characteristics in all areas. including in those that you would least expect. Comfortable and healthy indoor climate Safe, even in earthquakes Solid wood is able to absorb moisture from the ambient air which it then releases again when the air becomes drier. That is why solid wood provides an excellent indoor climate and is the ideal choice for people who attach importance to a healthy and pleasant atmosphere. Thanks to their high static strength and flexibility, buildings constructed with CLT solid wood panels perform superbly in areas of seismic activity....
