Cross laminated timber (CLT). Suitable for floors, walls and roofs in multi-storey buildings.
Glued laminated timber (also known as glulam) in which all of the wood grain is parallel. Used in columns and structural beams.
Laminated veneer lumber, the grain direction of adjacent layers is parallel. Widely used in building construction.
Timber obtained by sawing sawlogs lengthwise along their grain. Sawn timber includes planks, beams, posts, logs.
Glued wooden beams are a highly durable, long spanning structural material used in building construction.
Timber trusses are prefabricated structures that cover a building. It is a durable structure with a high load-bearing capacity.
A building in which the walls are made of logs laid flat and joined at the corners or uprights.
Structural elements or panels of a building assembled from wood. The panels contain thermal insulation for windows and external doors.
A wooden modular house is a type of building usually made of several identical sections or modules.
"Wood is both a traditional and modern material that works very well with other trendy materials such as metal, brick, concrete or glass."
Wood is a traditional building material that has been widely used in Latvia since early times and is still relevant today.
Wood is a local material that, when used more widely, helps to develop the domestic economy. It is the most sustainable of all construction materials.
Wood is a relatively lightweight material. It does not require the use of heavy machinery on site, which helps to reduce costs.
Well-built wooden buildings will last for centuries. They are also easy to maintain compared to buildings made of other materials.
Organic and natural looking, wooden structures blend harmoniously with their surroundings, creating visually appealing and aesthetically pleasing architectural solutions.
Wood is a natural humidity regulator, absorbing and releasing moisture to improve air quality.
The members of the Latvian Wood Construction Cluster have strong traditions, they value modern technologies and do not stop at self development. Latvian manufacturers are proving that wood is a versatile and efficient building material with a wide range of applications in the construction industry. The Cluster members are operating in the traditional log house segment, in the development of wooden frame and modern modular solutions, as well as in the development and production of glued laminated timber solutions.
