Industrial buildings made with precisely engineered and sustainable massive timber elements allow for expanding traditional perceptions of wood. You can construct strong, stable, and lightweight structures, achieving large spans and new heights.

One of the most promising solutions for industrial buildings is the use of wooden trusses or beams supported by wooden columns, creating an integrated wooden frame that offers several advantages compared to traditional steel or concrete frameworks:

1. Sustainability and aesthetics:

Wood is a renewable resource that helps reduce the carbon footprint of construction, and there are grant programs available for building such production or warehouse facilities. Wood creates a warm, natural, and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.

2. Cost:

On average, the cost of constructing industrial buildings using structural timber can be up to 15% lower compared to traditional buildings.

3. Lightweight and strength:

Wooden trusses, beams, and columns have a high strength-to-weight ratio, which reduces the load on the foundation. This, in turn, lowers construction costs.

4. Speed of construction:

Wooden elements are prefabricated in the factory and quickly assembled on-site, significantly reducing construction time.

5. Facade:

Industrial buildings with a wooden frame are finished similarly to those made of metal or concrete, typically using sandwich panels.

Well-constructed wooden frame buildings typically have a lifespan ranging from 50 to 100 years. However, with modern technologies and materials, this lifespan can be extended. For example, buildings constructed with glued laminated timber (Glulam) can exceed 100 years of service life if properly maintained.

What are the results?

Reduced construction time, improved resource efficiency, less waste and noise, lower costs, and enhanced health and safety. Glued laminated (engineered) timber is a renewable resource that not only sequesters carbon but also supports the bioeconomy, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of construction. This serves as an important consideration in the context of global strategies to reduce climate change.

Why choose glued laminated timber for your next project?

• Faster, quieter, and safer: This results in significant time and cost savings.
• Aesthetic appeal: Glued laminated timber offers a natural appearance and can be used to create impressive architectural forms and designs.
• No compromises: Despite its modern and aesthetic look, these structural elements provide the necessary strength and stability while complying with all regulations and standards.
• Enhanced thermal insulation and environmental properties: Your construction will be more comfortable to use, whether for residential, industrial, or social buildings.
• High standards of sustainability: This contributes to reducing the project's carbon footprint.
