Performance

and Beauty

Our supply chain is FSC certified, and is primarily sourced internationally in Europe from fast growing 20-25 year old trees (we do not use any old growth). European supply includes: Spruce or Pine.

The Technology

Mass Timber or Engineered Wood Products have become revitalized within the world building construction industry since the inception of Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) that occurred in Europe in the early 1990’s, allowing longer spans and the majority of the structural materials in a building to be constructed from engineered wood products.

North America held its first timber conference 7 years ago and Mass Timber products were introduced into circa 2011 to revitalize this continent’s love of wood products in buildings. 

European suppliers of Mass Timber products have been a part of integrating Mass Timber into building systems for over a hundred years. The quality is higher for a number of reasons: lower moisture content with European materials will relate to the quality of product and longevity of a building; European non-visual grade in most cases is equivalent to others visual grade for lower costs; additional CLT dimensional thickness options are available with European stock.

Structural

Timber is the oldest of structural materials, and in the past was supplanted by steel, masonry and concrete. In recent years, wood has made a resurgence within the building industry internationally due to engineered wood products that offer durability and high performance qualities.

Glue Laminated Wood (Glulam)
Glue Laminated Timber (GLT)

Parallel-glued layers of wood lamella’s, bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives.  When turned on its side for different structural purposes it is referred to as GLT.

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)

Glued layers of solid sawn lumber with each layer oriented perpendicular to adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board so outer layers have the same orientation.

Decorative

These particular panel products are utilized for the ‘face’ or ‘look’ of a building – in a lobby, as an accent wall in an office or condominium, external soffit, as encapsulation material for less appealing structural surfaces. Finishing touches through decorative engineered wood applications enhance the biophilia of a building, increasing the value of the space.

Fineline Panel

Fineline panels are a patented 3-Ply product made from a core panel of Spruce with a further two layers of laminated veneer lumber adhered to the core panel, making a very, very unique and visually beautiful panel.

3-Ply + 5-Ply Softwood Panels

Multilayer crosswise gluing of wood material with specific drying (wood moisture 8% ± 2%) and professional processing of the top slat and middle layer ensures additional stability.

3-Ply Hardwood Panels

Same as 3-layer softwood panel – just thicker panels due to additional layers and higher end hardwood surface.
