Wooden monolith. House of CLT - panels.

Wooden housing construction is known to us for thousands of years. And although modern market offers a variety of technologies forbuilding a house, The tree does not hand over their positions, while remaining one of the most popular materials for the construction of a private house. We believe that users FORUMHOUSE agree with the opinion that only wooden houses characteristic unique microclimate and its special - indescribable atmosphere.

But along with the advantages of wooden houses are not without drawbacks, and one of the most significant is the shrinkage of the house. But is it possible to maintain the advantages of cottage wood work around that? Austrian engineers offer a solution - building a house from the CLT - panels.

CLT - panel consists of a plurality of glued together cross slats, which provides the material strength and great ideal geometry. And thanks to industrial production, already at the manufacturing stage, in the panels can make all the necessary channels for utilities to allow for easy installation in the construction of the house.

Speed, functionality, reliability - so you can characterize this technology. A haven CLTpaneley is that houses built on this technology have no major drawback log houses- they do not shrink and no cracks in them, which would have had to close up.

CLT panels usually consist of three or more layers. Plate thickness is on average 180 mm, a height of three meters and a length of 16 meters. Production panel formed beforehand door and window openings. A strength of this material can be used for manufacturing bridges overlap.

Due to machine precision manufacture, erection of the house of CLT panels, looks more like a construction according to the principle of children's designer, where each element of the structure of the future be prepared on production and home builders remains only to put the panel in its place according to I am drawing. For example, in London, the team of four assemblers could build a 9-storey residential building for 28 days.

Features of the construction of houses in Norway discussed in detailin this article

It should be noted that the houses of assembly technology is becoming more widespread abroad, where every year a growing number of homes literally built of "panels".

The lack of wet processes allows you to immediately after the construction start to finish it at home or, if production of high-grade material used panels class "lux" panel takes the form of final coating similarly glued laminated timber. And thanks to technology flexibility, the buildings erected from CLTpaneley can make a spectacular appearance.

Houses made CLTpaneley much easier than brick or lumber that will save money in the construction of the foundation.

Also on the applications of the Japanese builders, this material is perfectly suited for the construction of buildings in earthquake-prone areas when an earthquake measuring up to 9 points.

And even though this technology has many positive qualities, experts say she and disadvantages, namely:

• When building a house of CLTpaneley in colder climates require wall insulation, which leads to additional costs;
• Production of this material requires the use of expensive equipment, which affects the CLTpaneley price. And the construction of the house should be done by highly qualified personnel;
• Although the manufacture CLTpaneley adhesive is used with a low formaldehyde content not exceeding natural background, with the words of the green buildings from CLTpaneley should be treated with some degree of skepticism;
• Since the technology has been actively applied only in recent years that the developers who are interested in this material, it should be remembered that due to the small lifetime of buildings erected with the use of this technology, it is difficult to predict how the structure will behave in the near future.
