Cross Laminated Cell

CLC

The CLC is an ecological alternative to construction and creates opportunities to develop competitive and load-bearing elements that also contain insulation. The CLC element structure does not collect moisture or grow mold.

CLC model is registered and protected in EU.

CLC

Cross Laminated Cell

The robust CLC developed in Finland is emerging as one of the most popular building materials and will in future be able to compete with concrete structures in market shares. For example, in apartment building, the CLC is a competitive solution because its manufacture is cost-effective and its ease of installation accelerates the construction site decisively.

Breathable, non-toxic, plastic-free, wooden CLC is an ecological option for building and creates opportunities to develop competitive and load-bearing elements that also contain insulators. The CLC element does not collect moisture and does not get moldy.

VERSATILE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

The CLC structure is suitable for all wood construction systems. The concrete or steel frame building can also be supplemented by a CLC structure. It is ideally suited for both residential and apartment buildings as well as for the construction of garages, warehouses and the like.

CLC in architecture provides almost unlimited possibilities, because of its lightness, strength and easy workablity, it can take shape in free, very innovative and individual solutions. The CLC frame elements function not only as load-bearing structures, but also as decorative surfaces if desired.

FUNCTION IN CONSTRUCTION

The CLC-element has the prerequisites for smoothing the short-term temperature and moisture loads of indoor air. The risks associated with the functionality are the same as in wooden structures (eg rain protection, ventilation of structures, proper surface treatment materials, etc.). Appropriate moisture protection is required for the structures of humid spaces.

Based on the initial measurements from the test ground, the selected construction solutions are operating as expected and the absolute moisture level decreases outwardly. Thus, moisture can not accumulate in the structures and no risk of mildew can be created.

CLC FEATURES

Safety

  • The CLC element is resistant to earthquakes and in high-rise buildings bears all the loads with the help of metal angle brackets.
  • Due to the glue and cross-lamination, the CLC-element is a rigid, rigid, non-twisting structure.
  • The CLC elements join to each other with large bolts. Pyramid angle brackets are used to join three elements firmly.
  • The CLC element is a robust and sound insulating building material
  • The CLC element features a snow and wind load resistant design.
  • The CLC element enables installation of technical services such as electrical wiring within the panel without compromising the structure.
  • The CLC design emphasized fire safety.
  • The CLC design can provide security in crisis areas.
  • The CLC element's lightweight and robust design allows the transfer of small buildings (Detached houses, sheds, emergency accommodation etc.) to a new location if necessary.

Health Benefits

  • The CLC element is a plastic-free and non-toxic building material.
  • Using the CLC element, it is easy to eliminate the risk of mildew.
  • The CLC element features easily cleanable surfaces.
  • With the CLC element, room air quality improves because the structure is free to breathe.
  • The CLC element allows for free-circulation ventilation, which usually works better in wooden structures.
  • The CLC element does not collect moisture and does not get moldy.

Economy

  • The CLC achieves up to 30% cost savings during the construction phase.
  • CLC-construction achieves structural cost savings in maintenance.
  • It is also possible to build with CLC without heavy machinery.
  • The CLC Barrisol non-bacterial growth enhancing surface allows 3D light ceilings, as well as a Barrisol Clim air conditioning system.
  • From the CLC it is possible to make light floating homes.
  • It is possible to make gaps in the CLC without weakening the structure. No separate beams are needed.
  • From the CLC structure it is possible to build architecturally unique solutions, such as curved shapes.
  • The CLC elements can also function as decorative surfaces, if desired. The surface of the cell is shapeable and, for example, solid wood wall equilevant can be easily implemented.
  • The CLC allows for beautiful finish and 3D surface design.
  • The CLC acts as a vapor barrier, sealant, and sound insulation.
  • The CLC element guarantees good acoustics for buildings.
  • Changes in the CLC-structure are still easy at the construction stage, as tools suitable for woodworking are sufficient.
  • The CLC structure is suitable for all wood construction systems and hybrid construction.
  • The CLC-construction provides the required insulating capacity as needed. The injected fiber insulation stays well in place under all conditions.
