What is CLT? <\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Cross Laminated Timber (also known as CLT)<\/strong> is a wooden panel consisting of wooden planks glued at right angles to each other. Each layer provides strength and stability and allows for greater spans than other timber products. The panels are usually manufactured in the factory in sizes from 1 to 3 meters deep and up to 18 meters long with a thickness of 5 to 30 cm. This makes them ideal for load-bearing applications such as walls, ceilings and roofs. Special constructions such as stairs and elevator shafts are also possible using the CLT construction method.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Advantages of using CLT:<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In addition to its versatility and strength, there are other advantages to using CLT in your carpentry projects:<\/p>

  • It is cost-efficient<\/strong> - As the panels are completely set in the factory, a shell with finished surfaces is available after assembly.<\/li>
  • It is quick and easy to process<\/strong> - Due to the size of the panels, they can be installed quickly and by just a few people.<\/li>
  • Furthermore fewer fixings required due to their strength and stability<\/strong>which saves time and money on installation costs.<\/li><\/ul>

    All these advantages make it an attractive option for any carpenter looking for a reliable material that offers good value for money while delivering excellent performance results.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
