Wood is one of the oldest building materials, and the functional possibilities provided by laminated wood constructions are such that we can freely say wood, as a traditional material, offers possibilities for new construction challenges, making it one of the building materials of the future. Laminated wood certainly deserves the title of a noble material.
Laminated wood is a building material made from thin wooden elements of equal width (boards) placed one on top of the other, glued together at the joints with specific types of adhesives under certain conditions, resulting in practically unlimited cross-sectional dimensions and lengths. The production of these elements is a strictly controlled technological process.
Key characteristics of laminated wood:
– It allows for the construction of spans even exceeding 100 meters.
– The weight of installed wood is about 600 kg/m³, while reinforced concrete weighs 2500 kg/m³.
– The stress utilization ratio of the cross-section due to its own weight is at least four times lower for wood than for concrete.
– It offers unlimited design freedom and can be both straight and curved.
– It is fire resistant.
– It is resistant to aggressive environments and withstands all weather conditions.
Because of these qualities, Partas has chosen laminated wood as the foundation for all its constructions. Laminated wood in the construction of low-energy prefabricated houses is the best and highest quality option you will find on the market today.
