Solid
wood
panels.

KLH® solid wood panels are ideally suited for load-bearing and non-load-bearing walls, shear walls for lateral load resistance, floor, and roof elements. 

Manufacture

The crossways arrangement of the longitudinal and crosswise laminates reduces the swelling and shrinkage in the board plane to an insignificant minimum and static strength and shape retention increase considerably. According to the European Technical Assessment exclusively technically seasoned timber with a wood moisture content of 12% (+/-2%) is used. Any timber laminates are subjected to quality control before their use.

Adhesives &
lamination process

Only VOC-free and formaldehyde-free PUR adhesives are used in accordance with EN 15425. The adhesives have been tested and classified as TYPE 1 adhesives and have been approved for the production of load-bearing timber components.

The adhesive is applied automatically over the entire surface approx. 0.15 kg/m² per joint. The laminated pressure at 0.6 N/mm² used during the manufacture of KLH® solid timber panels is 6 times higher when compared with vacuum press technology. The quality of the lamination of KLH® CLT is therefore of high quality and the load-bearing capacity comparatively higher.

CNC - Cutting

Factory cutting or beaming takes place using state-of-the-art CNC-technology. The basis for that form the production and cutting plans released by the client or the executing company, respectively. For elements of a length and width > 1 m the tolerances are +/-2mm, for standard panel types, standard trimming and a wood moisture content of 12%.

For further information please contact us.

Assembly &
Installation

The cut-to-size KLH® solid cross-laminated timber elements are delivered to the construction site just in time, and there they are assembled by our expert installation partners. The connection of tradition, well-founded craftsmanship and state-of-the-art timber construction technology enables high-value construction with particular attention being attached to precision and on-site tolerances.

We are offering various lifting systems, depending on the panel type, panel size and surface quality. All lifting systems installed in our factory are CE-marked.

We really wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been involved in getting us this far. We have been really excited to see the structure go up and the on-site team have done an amazing job. The CLT looks great.

I would like to record that I have been very impressed with your work on site and the efficiency of your construction team. The finished product is exactly as expected and was completed ahead of programme. Thank you for the efforts of your team.

David Spooner | Construction Project Manager | Hastings Pier Charity

Mayfield School are delighted with the new buildings. Innovative use of space and light in the atrium areas and other specialist classrooms will enhance the possibilities available to our staff and students.
The Sixth Form is designed not only to give a real feature (Heller-Up staircase), but is also a practical and useable large space which can be used by the whole school for various activities. The new building and external areas have created a real ‘WOW’ factor for our community as a whole.

Allison Greenwood | Deputy Headteacher | Mayfield School

The Mayfield School Project was delivered on time and within budget. It is to an excellent quality of workmanship which surpassed the expectations of the client team and the end user. The building’s design is rational, durable and above all maintainable which will ensure that Mayfield School will continue to provide teaching excellence within the London Borough of Redbridge.

I am the HT of a school in the UK which has been constructed using CLT. I am tremendously impressed with the very calm and purposeful learning environment that has been created. The students are so proud of the building and the exposed CLT is a major factor in this as it gives a high-end quality finish not common in schools in the UK. The CLT construction method enabled the building process to be rapid which was a major factor in us moving in on time.

Keir Smith | Head Teacher | William Perkin C of E School

We are completely delighted with the CLT!!! It’s been very exciting seeing our project in the factory and then going-up on site so quickly.
We love the exposed CLT walls and the character it gives the interiors – we can’t wait to move in. I think that the KLH team has been excellent throughout, from first contact, through the quotation stage to shop-drawings and the on-site erection crew – everyone has been very professional and helpful at all times. It has been a pleasure working with you all – I would be very happy to use KLH again in the future.

There is a great ambience in occupying a CLT school and it generates interest and a positive atmosphere with students, staff and visitors. Would definitely recommend it to another school.
