FAQ

CLT Technology Basics

How does CLT technology differ from the popular timber frame technology?

The main difference is the wall construction. In timber frame technology, we have a structure of beams filled with insulation, whereas a CLT wall is a single, solid panel of solid wood. This provides much greater rigidity, load-bearing capacity, better acoustic insulation, and thermal inertia. A CLT wall can also be a beautiful, finished interior.

What kind of wood are the panels made of and do I have any influence on it?

By default, we use high-quality, certified structural spruce. At your request, for visible layers, we can use other wood species, such as larch or pine. In our premium offer, we also have panels made of hardwood (e.g., oak), which is characterized by exceptional aesthetics and even higher strength parameters.

What is the typical wall thickness in a CLT house?

The thickness of each element is selected individually based on precise static calculations for your project. Typical thicknesses for single-family houses are 80-120 mm for structural walls and 140-200 mm for floors. The walls are therefore slimmer than in masonry technology, which allows for additional usable area.

Durability and Safety

Is a wooden house as durable as a brick one?

Yes, and in some respects even more so. A CLT panel, thanks to its cross-laminated structure, is extremely rigid and often called "wooden concrete". A CLT structure is monolithic (it acts as a single, compact solid), which provides exceptional resistance to the forces of nature, such as hurricane winds or even seismic shocks.

Is a wooden house safe in case of fire?

Yes, it is very safe. Massive CLT panels behave in a predictable way in contact with fire. Their outer layer chars at a rate of about 0.65 mm/min, creating a natural protective barrier that insulates the core of the structure. Thanks to this, the structure maintains its stability and load-bearing capacity for a very long time.

How is the structure protected against moisture, mold, or pests?

The key is to protect against long-term, direct contact with water - just like in any other building. We ensure this through proper design (including insulation from the ground) and precise assembly. The wood itself is kiln-dried to a moisture content of about 11%, which makes it an unattractive environment for the growth of mold or insects.

Construction Process and Design

How quickly is a house built using CLT technology?

The assembly of prefabricated panels on a prepared foundation slab is lightning fast. We achieve the shell and core of a single-family house in just a few days, which radically shortens the entire investment process, minimizes labor costs, and makes construction independent of weather conditions.

Does CLT technology limit architectural possibilities?

Quite the contrary. The high load-bearing capacity of CLT panels gives architects enormous freedom. It allows for easy design of large, open spaces, impressive glazing, and complex architectural forms that would be much more difficult or expensive to achieve with traditional methods.

Why do all design decisions have to be made at the very beginning?

Because your house is first digitally designed in 3D with millimeter precision. This data goes to the factory, where machines cut perfectly matched elements, including openings for windows or installation routes. This process eliminates the risk of errors on the construction site, but makes subsequent changes very difficult and expensive.

Comfort and Use

What does it feel like to live in a wooden house?

Exceptional. Wood naturally regulates air humidity - it absorbs excess moisture and releases it when it is too dry. This creates a healthy, friendly microclimate without harmful emissions. Many people describe this feeling as "air that is easier to breathe" and general thermal comfort.

Can you hang heavy objects on a CLT wall?

Of course. This is one of the biggest advantages in everyday use. A CLT wall is solid and sturdy over its entire surface. You can drive a solid screw anywhere you choose, without looking for studs or using special dowels, and you can be sure that it will hold even a very heavy kitchen cabinet.

What are the acoustics like in a CLT house? Can you hear everything?

Massive, solid CLT walls, thanks to their high density, provide very good insulation against airborne sounds from the outside, such as street noise. To ensure ideal acoustic comfort between floors (e.g., damping of footsteps), we use special, multi-layer floor systems that effectively soundproof the structure.

Costs and Investment

Is building a house with CLT technology more expensive than traditional masonry?

The estimated cost to a developer-ready state may be seemingly higher and amounts to approx. 5 500 PLN/m² in comparison to approx. 4 000 PLN/m² for masonry technology and 5 000 PLN/m2 for precast concrete. However, this difference is largely offset by specific savings at later stages. Firstly, by giving up plaster in favor of exposed wood, you save 80-120 PLN on every m² of wall. Secondly, building a shell and core in a few days instead of months means thousands of zlotys saved on labor.

What makes up the final cost of a CLT structure?

The final cost includes the entire advanced process: from precise 3D digital design, through automated production of each element in the factory (prefabrication), to planned logistics and lightning-fast assembly on the construction site. You pay for a complete, flawless system, not just for the material.

What are the long-term savings of choosing this technology?

The main savings appear after moving in. Firstly, much lower heating bills thanks to the natural insulation and tightness of the structure. Secondly, lower maintenance costs, because solid wood is extremely durable. Finally, it is an investment in higher property value in the future.
