New Wood Technology May Offer Hope for Struggling Timber
https://oregonclt.com/new-wood-technology-may-offe... [Markets] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2016 New York Times Many say it could infuse struggling forest communities like Riddle with new economic growth while reducing the carbon footprint of urban construction with a renewable building material. Visually blemished wood that currently goes to waste can be used in the middle layers of a CLT panel without sacrificing strength or look. U.S. building codes generally place height limits on all-wood buildings for safety reasons, though a special committee of the International Code Council is investigating pote... |

The skyline of the future is made of wood
https://oregonclt.com/skyline-future-made-wood... [General Information] [Magazine/Newspaper Article] 2017 Lizzie OLeary, Cerise Castle It’s pretty rare that we get new techniques in construction. In fact, the last major one came in the 19th century, when steel replaced iron framing and birthed the modern skyscraper. Today, there’s a new technique that has the potential to change the way we look at buildings, and transform our cities. Picture this: a skyscraper made of wood, made out cross-laminated timber, or CLT. Justin Davidson, architecture critic for the New York Magazine, wrote about these buildings in his article, “Imagi... |

X-LAM: The advantages of the DERIX manufacturing principle
http://www.derix.de/en/aktuelles/news/x-lam-vortei... [Commercial/Company Information] [Web Page] DERIX The DERIX Group produces solid wood panels (X-LAM) which are available in individually customised dimensions of up to 17.8 x 3.5 metres. The partial narrow surface gluing of the timber is a substantial part of this modern manufacturing principle, because the glue is applied only on one third of the narrow surface joints. In contrast to panels with fully bonded narrow sides, this specific gluing procedure allows the timber to remain more flexible, so that cracks resulting from swelling or shrinki... |
