Ideal for large-scale construction, timber panels are easily workable, available in a range of sizes and lengths, and can incorporate different treatments, such as moisture and fire resistance.
The combination of strength properties and modern manufacturing processes means cross laminated timber (CLT) is a versatile and reliable construction material.
Cladding is a great way to make the most of timber’s unique visual appeal. Timber cladding can be used internally and externally, though durability of the timber species should be considered in external uses.
Glued Laminated Timber, commonly referred to as glulam or GLT, comprises several layers of dimensioned, strength-graded timber bonded together with structural adhesive to increase structural performance. It is one of several systems that connect a series of smaller timber elements together to form larger panel or beam products.
Glued Laminated Timber, commonly referred to as glulam or GLT, has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It is comparatively light, and as such can generate economies in foundations costs when used efficiently.
Lightweight timber frame construction has adopted offsite building techniques, using a wide range of building components assembled in factories and delivered to site for assembly.
As a renewable resource, lightweight timber frame has lower embodied energy than comparable building materials. It also achieves excellent thermal and acoustic performance, and high durability.
