CLT (X-LAM) Timber Structure
Construction with cross-laminated solid timber panels: a prefabricated, lightweight and low-carbon system for load-bearing walls and floors, an alternative to concrete.
Overview
TAV. 00A CLT (cross-laminated timber) structure uses large solid-timber panels as load-bearing walls and floors. It is a prefabricated, dry system: panels arrive cut to the millimetre and are assembled in days, cutting time, noise and waste. For the same performance it weighs a fraction of concrete, stores carbon instead of emitting it, and offers timber comfort and aesthetics that are hard to match.
How-to
TAV. H- 01
Design and prefabrication
BIM modelling and CNC cutting of the panels in the factory, with pre-arranged holes and joints.
- 02
Panel installation
On-site assembly of wall and floor panels with a crane, in short time.
- 03
Connections
Connecting the panels with screws, plates and metal angle brackets to ensure structural continuity.
- 04
Insulation and acoustic layer
Application of insulation layers and impact-sound mats for comfort.
- 05
Finishes
Closing with false ceilings, screeds and internal and external finishes.
