Description

XLam Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) floor panels are custom-made in sizes, thicknesses and profiles to suit most residential and commercial applications.

CLT is made from layers of solid timber planks (Lamellas) face-glued together in alternating directions to make large, stable solid wood construction panels. Span capacity increases with the number of layers and overall panel thickness.

Key Features

XLam panels are big (up to 15m x 3.5m), and fit together quickly on site, making building much faster
For buildings large and small, XLam panels connect together as a complete engineered wood building solution. Each XLam panel is custom-made to suit the structural needs of the project and required appearance
Panels are manufactured using the latest European CNC machining technology to ensure high precision and eliminate site waste.
Safe to erect, weighing only 20% as much as concrete. Safe to inhabit, being strong and flexible under load
XLam CLT is sustainable. Wood stores carbon to help save our planet
Out-performs conventionally framed construction in air-tightness, thermal insulation, internal moisture management, acoustic insulation and fire resistance
Available in standard non-visual or visual appearance grades

Scope of Use

Factory prefabricated CLT is used for floors in residential, commercial and industrial buildings, including floor diaphragms in multi-storey timber construction.

CLT is very economical for residential floors, particularly those on sloping ground where a flat floor platform can be quickly achieved. The span and cantilevering capabilities of CLT permit economies in foundation support.

XLam floor panels are craned into position at the rate of approximately 100sqm floor area per hour, meaning an entire house floor can be placed in less than four hours. This represents a large saving on-site labour.

Statement of Building Code Compliance

As yet there are no Australian or NZ standards specific to the manufacture and use of CLT. However, CLT is very similar to Glue Laminated Timber in that it is manufactured from finger jointed, dried timber using glue lamination under pressure. XLam manufacture complies with Adopted Standards which govern the design, preparation, finger jointing, planing, lamination and verification of XLam CLT products:

AS/NZS 1328 Glue Laminated Timber Parts 1 & 2
AS/NZS 1491:1996 Finger jointed structural timber
ISO/TC 165/SC N695 (Working Draft): Timber Structures – Cross Laminated Timber – Part 1: Component Performance and Production Requirements
