CLT – Material of the Future
Buildings constructed with CLT can reach significant heights. Worldwide, there are already several examples of multi-story buildings with 10 or more floors. This makes CLT suitable not only for single-family homes but also for multi-unit residential buildings, hotels, social facilities, and even office complexes.
CLT panels possess a range of characteristics that make them attractive for construction. They are lightweight yet very strong and resistant to various loads. Additionally, they provide excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, contributing to comfortable and energy-efficient buildings. CLT panels also enable the construction of buildings with minimal environmental impact.
The advantages of CLT technology include:
Fast assembly and construction
High strength and structural reliability
Environmental friendliness and sustainability
Why are CLT panels the material of the future?
The development company “DÓMA” has chosen an innovative material — CLT panels — for the implementation of its residential project “360 Around the Human.”
CLT panels (from Cross Laminated Timber) are multi-layered wood panels bonded together under high pressure using adhesive.
CLT panels, or “cross-laminated timber panels,” were conceived and developed in the early 1990s. However, mass production and widespread use only began in the 2000s, following studies that demonstrated their environmental sustainability.
At present, CLT panels offer enough advantages for use in multi-story construction — including their strength, fire resistance, environmental friendliness, density, and excellent aesthetic appearance.
