Advantages of using CLT panels.

In Montana, the Elevator shaft is the first in the country, built of cross-glued wood (CLT). This reduced the project’s construction time by about three weeks. The building height is 14 meters.⠀

  • save time on building construction;
  • they are lighter than concrete or brick;
  • contribute to reducing the cost of materials and labor;
  • allow you to build with a crane and several people;
  • build speed in a matter of hours;
  • environmentally sound;
  • fire resistance of the system;
  • give high earthquake resistance;
  • dry construction of buildings;
  • no shrinkage;
  • have high thermal insulation and sound insulation properties.

Today, the new technology of using CLT or GLT panel (Cross Laminated Timber) is gaining popularity all over the world, and our company is successfully developing in this direction.
