CLT panels for timber construction

Comfort panels use mineral wool within the frame. Premium and Lux use wood fibre or cellulose insulation; Premium adds a 22 mm wood fibre windproof board, while Lux adds a 40 mm STEICO THERM wood fibre layer. Additional 45 mm internal insulation and plasterboard are excluded from these packages. For Comfort, Premium and Lux, roof panel insulation is 50 mm thicker than the insulation in the corresponding external wall.

Panels are connected with long screws or special timber connectors. A wind barrier is used externally, a vapour control layer internally, and membranes are carefully taped across the building.

Airborne sound insulation in timber houses can be very good, especially with cellulose or wood fibre. Impact sound in intermediate floors should be addressed with appropriate floor and ceiling solutions.

For houses up to around 3 storeys, timber frame is often more economical. CLT may suit load-bearing structures, hybrid solutions or where exposed solid timber walls are desired.

The wall U-value is calculated for the individual project using all wall layers, material properties and structural junctions. Comfort, Premium and Lux differ in frame, insulation and barrier construction; the panel specification name alone does not determine a guaranteed U-value.

The n50 value describes the airtightness of the whole building. The target is set in the design and the achieved result is verified by a building airtightness test. Joints, windows, doors and assembly quality also affect the result; the panel specification alone does not guarantee a particular n50 value.

Yes, ZTC structures can be adapted for A+ energy performance class. The result depends not only on wall insulation but also on building form, windows, orientation, airtightness, ventilation and heating systems.

A preliminary energy assessment is carried out during the design stage before construction and the building authority process. It helps determine whether additional insulation or other technical measures are needed.
