Panel types

KLH® - CLT is offered in 3 standard qualities. Upon request special surfaces and panel built-ups are possible, depending on the availability of the raw lamellas and technical feasibility. Special structures are possible upon request.

 

By using double layers, the board’s longitudinal and transverse rigidity can be increased in a targeted manner. Changes to the board structure can be used to increase its fire resistance in order to meet special project requirements.

Maximum formatLength 16.50 m / Width 3.50 m / Thickness up to 0.50 m
Minimum production length8.25 m - respectively in 5 cm increments up to the maximum length

Surfaces &
Qualitydefinition

As a standard, we produce KLH® - CLT in spruce and in three different surface qualities, which can be combined as required. This applies without restriction for all the panel types shown previously.

Surfaces treatment and special surfaces

Both the industrial visible quality and the domestic visible quality panels are fully sanded. Should you require UV protection, varnished elements or any other surface treatment, please contact us. The same applies to surfaces in other types of wood, which we can offer depending on customer requirements and the availability of raw materials.

Overview of the individual surfaces

Minimum requirements

The minimum requirements for each surface described refer to the time of delivery. For narrow sides and CNC-treated surfaces, the criteria for non-visible surfaces apply.

Range of validityThe given surface qualities valid:
- at the time of delivery
- only for the covering layer, not for the narrow sides
- for one-sided visible surfaces
- for narrow sides and CNC-treated surfaces, the criteria for NVQ surface quality apply
- for double-sided visible surfaces, a small amount of on-site reworking is to be expected
Crack formationLike all solid wood products, the above stated qualities are subject to crack and joint formation as a result of drying to their future compensation moisture balance when installed due to the product characteristics. This cannot be prevented. Especially in the first few years, cracking noises can also occur alongside the formation of cracks, which can be classified as harmless.
Particularly in the case of surfaces in visible quality, make sure to avoid strong fluctuations in the room climate both during the construction phase (for example, when the screed is drying) and during the use phase. The ideal air humidity is between 40 - 60%.
Particularly with white glazed surfaces, there may be an undesired and irreversible contrast due to crack/gap formation. Please advise building owners and instruct all subsequent trades during the construction phase accordingly.
NoteWood is a natural product. Minor deviations from the table values are natural and are no reason for complaint.

Protective coatings &
Surface refinement

With the increasing use of wood as a building material, increases also the demand for coated and surface-finished cross laminated timber elements. As of now, we offer KLH® elements treated with protective coatings or with a surface finish mechanically applied in our factory.
