GENERAL INFORMATION
04/2012
Assembly
To assemble the CLT product safely and without causing damage, utmost care must be taken during assembly.
During assembly, pay particular attention to the following points:
Use appropriate hoisting and rigging gear for the product.

Lifting devices must be inspected visually as specified by the manufacturer before each use.
In the case of large cut-outs (e.g. windows), pay attention to stability/bracing requirements (danger of buckling
during lifting).
Screwed cut-outs must be removed before assembling CLT panels. It is just a makeshift fixing for transport to
destination.
Take care not to damage sensitive areas such as edges, visible sides, etc.
Protect from dirt (for example, cover VI/IVI panels with aluminium foil or cardboard).
Protect CLT from the effects of weather and from coming into contact with water.
Take the necessary steps to ensure fire protection and sound insulation (standards).
Only use CLT for service class I and II applications. It should be pointed out that directly exposing CLT to the
weather or to constant, extremely high levels of humidity is not permitted or is at the users risk.
Instruct all other crews involved in the building project and refer them to our website: www.clt.info.
Swelling and shrinkage processes

Wood absorbs moisture and releases it again according to the relative humidity and temperature of the air.
Swelling (undulating surface):

Humidity levels are too high, e.g.: due to moisture in the building from concrete, floor screeds, etc. Should be
avoided at all costs. However, this levels out again to some extent as soon as the original equilibrium moisture content is re-established by means of dehumidification or careful heating. With CLT, which is made from
the natural material of wood, the recommended optimum humidity is between 40 and 60%.
Shrinkage cracks (cracked surface):
Humidity levels are too low, e.g. high indoor temperature during the heating period, domestic ventilation, etc.
Should be avoided. However, this levels out again to some extent as soon as the original equilibrium moisture content can be re-established by means of air humidification. This can also be achieved by air humidifiers, indoor fountains, plants, etc.
Shrinkage cracks or open joints have no impact on CLTs load-bearing capacity or structural and physical properties. These are not defects of the solid wood product, CLT. Due to the natural properties of wood, tensions may
develop in the cross-laminated timber, causing stress cracks to appear during initial periods of use.
Changes in surface colour
The UV element of natural light causes darkening and yellowing of the surface of spruce. Therefore, it is important not to wait too long before carrying out any necessary reworking (e.g. sanding) as otherwise this could
result in a patchy overall finish. When assembling visible quality panels, care must be taken to ensure that they
are not partially covered to prevent uneven darkening.
Surface treatment
In principle, paints and coatings suitable for wood can also be used for CLT.

If the lintel height is not sufficient from a structural engineering standpoint, there must be an appropriately dimensioned upstand from which the lintel can be suspended. If a
wall above the lintel is used as an upstand, it is essential to
take account of the sill height of any window openings.

THERMAL PROTECTION
The thermal performance of a component is determined by its U-value or thermal transmittance. The location,
structure and thermal conductivity of the materials contained must be known to calculate this value. The thermal conductivity of wood is essentially determined by its bulk density and wood moisture content and can be calculated for a CLT panel using the equation below.
0.000146 x k + 0.035449
thermal conductivity in [W/mK]
characteristic bulk density for a reference wood moisture content of u = 12% in [kg/m]
The characteristic bulk density of CLT layers has been determined as k = 512 kg/m.
Applying these figures results in a thermal conductivity for CLT of 0.110 W/mK.
= 0.000146 x 512 kg/m + 0.035449 = 0.110 W/mK
This figure has been validated by the SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden for CLT [1].
The Austrian standard NORM B 3012 [2] also gives a value of 0.11 W/mK for spruce.
An average value of 12 % is assumed for wood moisture content, whereby less than 12 % wood moisture content
should be expected in external walls during the relevant winter months. With less wood moisture content, the actual thermal conductivity value reduces further.
The Austrian standard NORM EN 12524 [3] specifies a rated thermal conductivity of 0.13 W/mK for wood in the
relevant bulk density range.
U-value of a CLT panel
A CLT external wall panel with a thickness of 100 mm is used in the following example to demonstrate how to
calculate the U-value. The calculation takes account of the internal and external heat transfer coefficients.

Airtightness
The air or convection tightness of a CLT panel is another decisive factor for thermal performance. As CLT panels
are made of at least three bonded single-layer panels arranged at right angles to each other, they are extremely
airtight. The airtightness of CLT panels and of panel joints was tested and confirmed by the Holzforschung Austria (Research Institute of the Austrian Society for Wood Research) in 2008 [4]. The test report specifies that the
panel joints and the CLT panel itself are so airtight that volumetric rates of flow were outside the measurable
range.

1. Introduction
The airtightness and windtightness of the building envelope and of individual building components (wall, ceiling
and roof panels) is an essential requirement which has an impact on many aspects of the indoor climate, noise
load, freedom from structural defect, indoor atmosphere and energy balance of buildings.
Together, the airtight layer (generally on the inside of the room) and the windtight layer (on the outside of the
building) prevent an inadmissible flow of air through the structure. These layers are critical to the quality and durability of the building structure [1].
CLTs tried and tested panel design results in an airtight layer. An additional airtight membrane on the inside of
the room is not generally required. This has a positive effect on the associated costs, helps avoid errors and construction defects and also reduces construction times and installation phases.
With other timber construction methods (e.g. timber frame building), an airtight layer (at the same time also a vapour barrier in the form of a membrane or butt-bonded OSB boards) must also be provided.
2. Relevance of airtightness/windtightness
a) Airtightness:
Airtightness has an impact on the heat and humidity balance of a structure. The term airtightness refers to the
prevention of convective flows, i.e. the penetration of structural components by air moving from inside to outside.
Inadequate airtightness can mean that air flows through the structure from inside to outside. The possible consequences are [1]:
Deposition of condensation in the structure

Reduced thermal protection
Low surface temperature
The associated hazards are:
Damage to the structure

Mould formation
Draughts (as a result of cooling of the indoor surface temperature)
Increased energy demand
AIRTIGHTNESS
04/2012
The airtightness of Stora Ensos CLT has been tested by the Holzforschung Austria.
This airtightness test on CLT was carried out on the basis of NORM EN 12114:2000 [2] and covered the panel
itself, a stepped rebate and a panel joint with a jointing board.
Outcome:
The panel joints and the CLT panel itself exhibit a high level of airtightness. The volumetric flow rates through
the two joint variants and through the undisturbed surface lay outside the measurable range as a result of the
high level of impermeability [3].
b) Windtightness:
The windtightness of a building envelope is just as relevant as its airtightness. Inadequate windtightness can result in similar phenomena to those occurring with inadequate airtightness. One of the reasons for this is the cooling of the insulating layer.
The windtight layer on the outside of the building prevents outside air from penetrating the building components.
The insulating layer is therefore protected, and the building components insulating properties are not impaired
[1].
The relevance of windtightness is shown by means of the following illustrations (taken from [1]).
Illustration: Thermographic images of a wall/roof connection at + 3C outdoor

temperature and + 24C indoor temperature (taken from [1])
3. Benefits of CLT with regard to airtightness
Large-format panels (up to 2.95 m x 16 m) therefore few building component joints and thus fewer
joints to be sealed.
As a rule, no additional membranes are required on the inside of the room.
Simple, reliable joint or butt joint sealing by means of compressible preformed gasket is possible.
AIRTIGHTNESS
04/2012
4. Technical aspects of airtightness

The air change rate (n50 value) is used to measure a buildings airtightness.
Note:
Air change rate: The air change rate n (unit: 1/h) is used to describe ventilation. It indicates how often a rooms
air volume is changed per hour.
n50 value:
The n50 value is the air change which occurs if 50 Pa (pascals) under or over pressure are
generated in the building.
If all CLT connections (corner joints, side joints, windows etc.) are carried out properly, n 50 values corresponding
to the passive house standard (n50 = 0.6 1/h) can be achieved. NORM B 8110-1: 2008 [4] specifies permissible
air change rates. Depending on the building type, a distinction is drawn between buildings without ventilation systems (n50 = 3 1/h), buildings with ventilation systems (n50 = 1.5 1/h) and passive houses (n50 = 0.6 1/h) [4]. Ventilation systems refers to monitored ventilation systems for living spaces.
Compliance with these n50 values is vital for the function of the respective building envelopes.
The air change rate is measured and evaluated using the blower door test.
This blower door test is recommended to the end customer by Stora Enso to enable the quality and construction
of a building to be evaluated.
In addition to the issue of airtightness, the subject of vapour diffusion behaviour will also be examined briefly
here:
CLT is an excellent material for wall structures which are membrane-free and which allow diffusion.
When no membrane is fitted, it is important to bear in mind that the vapour diffusibility of the individual layers (insulation, plaster, etc.) increases towards the outside (as a rule of thumb: the outer layer should exhibit up to ten
times greater vapour diffusibility). This enables condensation to be avoided in wall, ceiling and roof structures.
Diffusion behaviour is expressed by means of the vapour diffusion resistance factor (
kness (sd value) equivalent of diffusion.
If the airtightness is inadequate, substantially higher levels of condensation can occur in the building components
as a result of moist air flows through walls, ceilings and roofs than via condensation accumulating purely as a
result of diffusion.
4. Configurations and specific connections

Compressed preformed gasket is mainly used to ensure an airtight seal at the connections of building components. Permanently flexible joint foams can also be used in some places. Self-adhesive tapes and tubular rubber
seals are used more rarely (see item 4.g).
The configurations illustrated below show a few options for airtightness, though it should be noted that these are
merely a few options among countless possible configurations [5], [6].

Another important factor in addition to airtightness, is moisture protection in the plinth
area.
Plinth connection II
Connection of internal wall to cellar roof

In this configuration the same criteria
have to be applied as in the case of the
connection between the wall and cellar
roof or concrete slab.

c) Wall connection I
Corner joint:
With all horizontal and vertical seals it is important to ensure a continuous joint seal (horizontal and vertical seals must be connected to
each other).

The same procedure as for a corner joint must
be adopted here.

AIRTIGHTNESS
d) Window or door connection I
Connection of fitted window:

In this case the window frame is fitted on the CLT
wall.
The window connection must be made using a
suitable sealing system (wall gasket Compriband, joint tape etc.). It is important to ensure a
proper, careful finish (precise corners etc.).
Window or door connection II
Connection of inserted window:

In this case the window frame is inserted into the
CLT wall.
The window frame is inserted using wall gasket
Compriband or a suitable PU foam. A soft-cell
foam is recommended. It is important to ensure a
proper, careful finish (precise corners etc.).

AIRTIGHTNESS
e) Wall/ceiling/wall connection
Preformed gasket
Connection of wall to ceiling:

The key contact surfaces are those of
the upper and lower wall to the ceiling. Both contact surfaces must be
connected so that they are airtight.
f) Wall/ceiling connection
Connection of wall to roof panel or roof

construction:
There are various ways of doing this.
However, the wall panel should form a
sealed unit with the roof panel.
All openings and apertures must be connected in an airtight manner to the relevant contact surfaces.

5. Summary
Both airtightness and windtightness are key requirements for a high-quality building made with CLT.
In the various connection configurations it is important to use a cohesive system with regard to airtightness and
windtightness, i.e. all the horizontal and vertical joints must form a sealed unit.
Openings in the CLT structure should be avoided, or a professional, airtight finish must be made.
This is the only way to avoid increased heat loss with all its consequences such as penetration of moisture into
the structure, mould fungus formation and so forth.

1. Introduction
Structural components and parts of buildings are not only exposed to thermal stress, but also to hygric stress.
After the building has been completed, building components often still contain a considerable amount of building
moisture.
Therefore, using CLT is advantageous, as the driest possible structures can be obtained by using this product.
Building components must be sufficiently protected from all types of moisture. Excessive moisture content can
reduce solidity and thermal insulation. At the same time however, wood requires a minimum level of moisture
(particularly in the case of visible panels) in order to reduce drying cracks.
Figure 1 shows the different effects of moisture which a building must be protected from.
Fig. 1: Typical moisture conditions of a building (Fischer et al., 2008)
As the load-bearing structure and the insulation layer are clearly separate on CLT panels, the structural and
physical aspects of the design can be considered separately. CLT offers a further advantage in that, besides the
MOISTURE

load-bearing structure, it also has a significantly higher thermal mass in comparison to other wood construction
systems. With 3 layers and more, CLT panels are airtight.
Fig. 2: Comparing lightweight wood construction with solid wood construction (Graz Technial University, 2008)
2. Reasons for moisture protection

For building owners and occupants, moisture protection is necessary or advisable for the following reasons:
a) Room usability
Rooms require a precisely defined indoor climate which means that uncontrolled levels of humidity must be
avoided. Damp building materials can be the source of germs and odorous substances.
b) Building heat insulation
Increased moisture in the building means that the thermal conductivity of the buildings materials increases and
more energy is required to heat the building. More energy is also required to remove damp air and condensation.
c) Preserving the building structure
Managing a buildings exposure to moisture is essential for preserving the buildings structure. Most structural
damage can be traced back to the impact of water.
3. Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of tiny single particles (atoms, ions, molecules), caused by the thermal self-motility
(Brownian motion) of these tiny particles.
In the same way as heat flow, water vapour also flows
according to the drop in temperature from warm to cold or

according to relative humidity from moist air to dry air.
This diffusion flow occurs in the air and also in porous building components containing air pockets. The more impermeable a building component, the greater its diffusion resistance. Damp materials are more permeable to water vapour diffusion.
MOISTURE
04/2012
4. Diffusion resistance factor and sd value

a) Diffusion resistance factor
The water vapour diffusion resistance factor is used to measure the impermeability of a building material to diffusing water molecules. is a dimensionless quantity which indicates the factor by which a materials diffusion
resistance increases in comparison to the reference value. Air is used as the reference value as it generally offers the least resistance to water vapour ( = 1).
Only glass and metal can be considered impermeable to water vapour; all other materials are permeable to water
vapour, even if diffusion resistance can be very high.
b) sd value
The diffusion resistance factor alone is not enough to identify the impermeability to water vapour diffusion of a
layer of material, rather than of the material itself. Both the type of material and the thickness of the layer must be
known to understand the extent of resistance to water vapour diffusion.
Thus, the simplest definition to describe the resistance of a layer of material is derived from the product of the
thickness of the layer and the diffusion resistance factor. Therefore, in building physics, the term equivalent air
layer thickness sd is used to measure the diffusion resistance of a layer of material.
The sd value represents how thick a layer of air must be to have the same transmission resistance as the component.
CLT panels have different levels of diffusion resistance. This depends on the lamella thickness and the number of
layers and adhesive joints.

5. Holzforschung Austrias expert opinion
Holzforschung Austrias expert opinion reveals that:

A 3-layer CLT panel exhibits the same sd value as that of a solid wood panel made of spruce with similar strength
(+ 26 mm for the bonded joint on the CLT panel).
-
Dependence of the material moisture content

The bonded joints value significantly decreases in damper test conditions. Porous cavities occur between
the adhesive layers and capillary contacts between end grain and length grain wood. This enables faster
moisture transport processes in humid climates compared with dry climates. However, this depends on the
type of adhesive and the relative ambient humidity.
MOISTURE
04/2012
- The sd value should be 510 m lower towards the surface than on the inside. By way of example:
Standard wall structure with ventilated faade
Plasterboard: sd = 0.273 m; cross-laminated timber: sd = 3.9 m; insulation: sd = 0.25 m; permeable layer:

sd 0.3 m
The structure is more impermeable towards the surface (calculated using the cross-laminated timber) and is
therefore correct from a building physics point of view.
6. Significance of moisture and diffusion for CLT
With 3 layers and more, CLT panels are airtight but not vapour proof. This means that CLT is permeable and
the adhesive bonds form vapour barriers for the insulation plane. Just like any other construction system, CLT
must be protected from permanent moisture.
CLT regulates the inside air. When there is higher ambient humidity, CLT absorbs the moisture and releases it
again when the level of humidity decreases.
CLT can also be described as a moisture variable vapour barrier. It is more permeable in the summer, when
temperatures are high and the air humid, than in the winter when temperatures are cold and the air is drier.

FIRE PROTECTION
04/2012
Solid wood is more fire resistant than is generally assumed. CLT has a moisture content of approx. 12%. Before
wood can catch fire, the water it contains must first evaporate. A carbonised surface protects the internal CLT
layers so thatunlike steel or concrete constructionssolid wood constructions in a fire are charred on the surface but do not burn right through.
To support this statement, we asked an accredited institutethe Holzforschung Austriato test how fire resistant
our CLT solid wood panels actually are. The results speak for themselves and even exceeded our expectations.

GENERAL INFORMATION
04/2012
General information about structural engineering with CLT

As the board layers are bonded at right angles to each other, the load is transferred along two axes. In the past,
this was the preserve of reinforced steel structures. The advantage of this is a more flexible interior design at the
planning stage; designs can now also be simplified, and lower slab ceiling heights are possible. Although diagonally projecting or point-supported structures require more planning, they are perfectly feasible. CLT panels have
a particularly high load capacity as the load-bearing width generally extends across the entire panel width due to
the transverse layers. The high inherent rigidity of CLT also has a positive impact on bracing a building.
CLT calculation method

The difference to dimensioning solid wood or glued laminated timber lies in the loading of the transverse layers.
In a CLT panel, a load at right angles to the panel plane (e.g. a snow load on a flat roof) generates a shear load
in the transverse layers which acts at right angles to the grain. This shear load is termed rolling shear as the
wood fibres roll off at right angles in the event of a fracture. As a result of the low shear strength or resistance of
the transverse layer (load at right angles to the grain), the stresses or deformations that occur cannot be ignored.
Calculations are carried out in accordance with the lamination theory, taking account of shear distortions. Various
options now exist for calculating cross-laminated timber; one of these is the theory of flexibly connected layers
(also termed the gamma method). The gamma method is the most common method and is also described in
ETA-08/0271.
Fasteners
Verification of the fasteners is described and regulated in the approvals.
CALCULATING AND DIMENSIONING CLT
04/2012
A. Calculating CLT
The particular feature when calculating CLT lies in the fact that the transverse layers represent low-shear layers.
As a result, the deflection caused by transverse loads and rolling shear can no longer be ignored. Various calculation methods have been developed for this. These methods are outlined briefly below, and the publications
containing full details are listed. In the structural analysis, CLT/cross-laminated timber cannot be regarded and
treated in the same way as solid wood or glued laminated timber.
Stora Enso offers a structural analysis program free of charge on www.clt.info. This can be used to verify common CLT components.
A.1. Calculation based on the lamination theory
A.1.1. With the aid of panel design factors
This calculation method does not take account of deflection as a result of transverse loads and therefore only
applies to relatively large span/thickness ratios (approx. > 30). For symmetrical panel designs, [1] and [2] contain
formulae for calculating EJef in panels and disks.
A.1.2. With the aid of the shear correction coefficient
This method enables ceiling deflection to be determined by calculating the shear correction coefficient for the relevant cross-sectional structure. Fusing framework programs, which take account of deflection as a result of
transverse loads, CLT can be calculated with sufficient accuracy. The method is presented in [3].
A.2. Calculation based on the method
This method was developed to analyse flexibly-connected flexural girders (see [4] and [5]) and can also be applied to CLT. The method is sufficiently accurate for practical building operations and is described in [2] for use
with cross-laminated timber.
This method is also defined in various timber construction standards, e.g. in DIN 1052-1:1988, DIN 1052:2008,
NORM B 4100-2:2003 and in EC 5, EN 1995-1-1.
A.3. Calculation based on the shear analogy method
The shear analogy method is described in DIN 1052-1:2008, appendix D and is regarded as a precise method for
calculating cross-laminated timber with any layer structures. [2] contains a brief explanation, while a more detailed description is given in [6], [7], [8] and [9]. The process is relatively complex compared to those described
above.
A.4. A. Twin-axis calculation of CLT
A.1.1. With the aid of grillages
2D structures can be modelled with the aid of framework programs. Individual references can be found in [10]
and [11], and more detailed information in [9].
A.4.2. With the aid of FEM programs
2D structures can be modelled with the aid of FEM programs. Information can be found in [9] and [12].
B. Calculation of fasteners in CLT
The calculation of fasteners is described in approval Z-9.1-559 for CLT. Detailed descriptions of pin-type fasteners can be found in [13] and [14].

Since any vibration depends not only on the span but also on the mass, a thicker ceiling may be necessary despite a shorter span.
This table specifies the required thicknesses for the normal design situation (R0). The colour shading represents the fire resistance
time which is also attained with this thickness. If a higher fire resistance time is required, a separate analysis must be carried out.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE - CEILING
1.) Assumption regarding dead weight

- The dead weight of the ceiling structure (screed, etc.) is assumed, for example, to be g k = 1.5 kN/m; the
dead weight of the CLT panel has already been taken into account in the table.
2.) Assumption regarding imposed load
- Living space 2.00 kN/m + partition wall allowance 0.8 kN/m nk = 2.8 kN/m
(Different imposed loads must be inserted, depending on the type of use, e.g. meeting room, office, pitched
roof area, etc.)
3.) Determining span
- There are two options: single-span beam and two-span beam single-span beam with 4.5 m is used in this
case.

EARTHQUAKES
04/2012
Thanks to their high static strength and flexibility, buildings built with CLT solid wood panels perform superbly in
areas of seismic activity. As solid wood is lighter than concrete, the weight of the building is better able to withstand tremors.
In recent years, six- and seven-storey solid wood buildings were tested on the worlds largest vibrating table in
Japan during simulations of earthquakes measuring 7.5 on the open-ended Richter scale. The buildings suffered
virtually no damage.
(See also: http://www.progettosofie.it/ita/multimedia.html)
Earthquake performance of buildings of solid wood construction
At the request of Stora Enso, Graz University of Technology composed a 214-page work comparing CLT, tile and
concrete in terms of earthquake performance. The work also clearly demonstrates how to perform a structural
analysis (according to Eurocode 8) with regard to earthquakes.
The information brochure can be downloaded from www.clt.info.
Evidence of the earthquake safety of wooden buildings

In addition, Stora Enso recommends the extremely informative study on the earthquake safety of wooden buildings written by the Chamber of Engineers in North Rhine Westphalia and Dsseldorf. (See: www.ikbaunrw.de)

CLT ORDER PROCESSING
04/2012
Quotation phase
We will be happy to draw up an appropriate quotation for you based on your documents. Documents can be
submitted to Stora Enso in the following form:
Tender text (cuttings must be taken into account)

Individual part drawings
We will gladly assist you in determining the appropriate dimensions from planning permission submissions and
building site plans. A preliminary estimate program which enables easy determination of amounts can be downloaded free of charge from www.clt.info. If you require our assistance during preliminary dimensioning, please
provide the following information:
Imposed load
Permanent loads (load, floor structure, etc.)
Location (snow load)
Please note that the amounts determined by Stora Enso may differ from those actually required, as definitive dimensioning is only carried out during the course of the preparation for work.
Order phase
If Stora Enso submits a quotation for your project, we would be grateful if you would sign and return this to us as
confirmation that you wish to place the order.
A provisional production reservation is made based on the previously determined amounts. This then results in an
agreed delivery date which can be met by Stora Enso under the following conditions:
Forwarding of the required individual part drawings (see Individual part drawing request) summarised in
*.dwg or *.dxf format, containing the following information:
Panel numbering
Span directions
Panel thickness
Complete dimensions
Panel joint
Surface quality
Visible side
Completed order form
Approval by the customer at least 12 days before dispatch of the panel drawings/charging list drawn up by
Stora Enso
No requests for changes by the customer during the final 12 working days before dispatch
Once the required documents have been received, the Stora Enso CLT engineering team will commence the definitive planning of your project.
On completion of the plans by Stora Enso, we request that you check them along with the panel, freight and
charging list, and provide us with your written approval.
Once we have received these documents from you, Stora Enso will commence production of your CLT project.
The machined CLT panels are delivered to the destination at the agreed time in the appropriate transport sequence (see Transport).
Project management & transport

INDIVIDUAL PART DRAW INGS
04/2012
In the case of three-dimensional drawings, after consultation with our CLT engineering department
(clt.technik@storaenso.com), we can further process your drawing files in *.ifc, *.3d DWG, *.3d dxf or *.sat (acis)
format.
Otherwise, we require individual part drawings, which must include the following information:
Panel numbering
Grain direction of cover layers
Panel thickness + panel type (C or L)
Complete dimensions
Panel joint
Surface quality
Position of visible side
Position of upper loading side
Please ensure that we receive your drawings on schedule in order to meet your requested delivery date. In general, 20 working days should be allowed between reception of the plans and the delivery date.
The drawing, which should be prepared as an orthographic projection with labelled views, may be similar to the
following:
For walls

INDIVIDUAL PART DRAW INGS
04/2012
For ceilings
Please send us your individual part drawings combined in one *.dwg or *.dxf file.
In general, you should ensure that part labelling is unambiguous. For large buildings, you can ensure unambiguous labelling by sending us drawings for each floor.
The order in which panels are later loaded should also be taken into consideration when preparing drawings
(panel numbering).

TRANSPORT
Horizontal transport
A standard articulated trailer can be loaded to a maximum of 25 t in the case of horizontal transport, with a maximum load length of 13.6 m and a maximum load width of 2.95 m. If the panel thickness permits, CLT solid wood
panels with a maximum length of 16.0 m can also be transported with a standard articulated trailer. A density of
470 kg/m can be applied to calculate the loading weight.
If any special equipment is required, we will be happy to provide this. However, please note the following changes to the max. load length, width and weight.

Once loaded, the CLT solid wood panels are secured using 3 nailed straps per side to prevent sideways slippage
and then covered with a truck tarpaulin. This is necessary to protect the panels against ambient influences.
Cardboard edge protectors are also placed between the lashing straps and the panels.
When transporting visible quality panels, the panels are wrapped in UV impermeable foil before they leave the
factory.
We use a minimum of 8 wooden skids (75 x 75 mm or 95 x 95 mm) as standard under the first layer of panels
loaded onto the trailer. However, each subsequent layer is stacked horizontally, directly on top of the previous
layer.
Please inform us when placing the order (and include diagrams) if you require intermediate wooden skids for unloading by crane or forklift. The wooden skids will be taken back by the haulage company. If you keep the skids
for your own use, we will charge them to your account.

TRANSPORT
Vertical transport
A mega trailer can be loaded to a maximum of 20 t in the case of vertical transport, with a max. load length of
13.6 m and a max. load height of 3.0 m. Please note that as a result of the A-shaped frames, the load lifting radius is smaller than with horizontal transport (max. approx. 40 m depending on the panel edge dimensions and
thicknesses). A density of 470 kg/m can be applied to calculate the load weight.
Each trailer has at least 6 A-shaped frames against which the CLT solid wood panels can be leaned and then
screwed to each other (screw points are marked in colour). The panels are then further connected to each other
using lashing straps on the sides of the racks, and the entire load is then also firmly strapped together.
The panels are also placed on chocks which prevent them from slipping or tilting.
As with horizontal transport, cardboard edge protectors are placed between the lashing straps and the panels.
If visible quality panels are to be loaded vertically, it may be necessary to screw fastening screws through the
visible surface to ensure the necessary load securing measures.
If the A-shaped frames or chocks are not returned to us, we will charge them to your account.

TERMS OF TRANSPORT
04/2012
You must adhere to the following terms and ensure compliance with them for Stora Enso:
1.
Access to the building site must be suitable for an articulated lorry or trailer-truck. You must ensure that
the public roads leading to the building site can accommodate an articulated lorry having a total length of
approx. 19 m.
2.
Transport costs and any additional costs resulting from idle, reloading or handling times shall be charged
to the purchaser. The transport price includes 3 hours idle time for unloading but does not include work
required for moving or unloading goods. The agreed price of 15.00 or 25.00 (excl. VAT) (for articulated
trailers) will be charged separately for each additional quarter of an hour or part thereof. The lorry driver
must sign for any idle times.
3.
A maximum of 40 m or 20 t of CLT solid wood panels can be transported horizontally per truck load (depending on the articulated lorry). The loading order for the panels can only be complied with to the extent
that this does not result in a violation of traffic laws or impair transport conditions.
4.
Transport requirements are calculated based on a standard articulated lorry. If the building site can only
be accessed by a special steerable articulated trailer or similar vehicle, the additional expense will be
charged to the customer.
5.
Normal postponement of a delivery date (i.e. up to 3 working days) can be requested by up to a period of
10 working days prior to delivery at no charge to the customer. If notice of delivery postponement is given
less than 10 working days before delivery, 100.00 (excl. VAT) will be charged per day postponed for
storage and handling.
6.
Transport is defined as: CPT Carriage Paid To.
7.
If the goods are collected by the customer, the carrier must provide the appropriate equipment to ensure
safe loading and transport. In the event of any delivery postponement (see item 5), applicable storage
and handling costs must also be taken into account. If the equipment does not comply with the necessary
stipulations and thus optimum load securing cannot be guaranteed, Stora Enso shall not ship any items.
8.
If unforeseen events occur which are beyond Stora Ensos control, Stora Enso shall be entitled to postpone delivery correspondingly, even if such events only have an indirect effect on processing the order.
The items listed above regarding transport of Stora Enso CLT solid wood panels
are essential for the order to be agreed.

TENDER TEXT

Tender text for CLT solid wood panels

The following tender texts are intended as a suggestion or guideline and can be expanded or reduced as required. These texts relate to the cross-laminated timber shell and must be adapted to the particular building project. Ideally, the items for additional coating layers and their connections should be formulated in accordance with
the Austrian Building Specifications (LBHB).
A. Cross-laminated timber: general description and specifications
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a laminar timber panel made up of at least three solid wood layers bonded at
right angles to each other. 3-, 5- and 7-layer panels are mainly used.
Cross-laminated timber is also known as CLT or X-Lam.
CLT must comply with the General Building Inspection Approval (ABZ) of the German Institute for Structural Engineering and the European Technical Approval (ETA).
The manufacturer must hold the relevant certificates of conformity and be entitled to mark the products with the
and CE marks.
The manufacturing plant must hold a glulam certificate to DIN 1052.
The raw material used (softwood) must have a wood moisture content of approx. 12% and meet strength class
C24 (according to EN338).
The finger jointing of the individual boards must be in the form of flat dovetailing. At least three board layers must
ensure narrow side bonding for building physics and structural engineering reasons. Layers without narrow side
bonding are not permitted for use as cover layers. In addition, test certificates documenting the products airtightness must also be available.
Formaldehyde-free adhesives must be used for bonding the finger joints and single-layer panels (narrow side
bonding of lamella strands) and for the crosswise bonding of the single-layer panels to form multi-layer panels.
A general finger joint (finger jointing across the entire cross-section of a panel) is not permissible.
The surface of non-visible, industrial visible and visible quality panels must be sanded and graded according to
Stora Ensos requirements.
The design must be based solely on the concept of large-format, cross-laminated timber panels (up to a maximum panel size of 2.95 m x 16 m). This provides for high-strength wall, ceiling and roof panels while keeping the
number of panel joints to a minimum.
Suggested product
CLT in accordance with the General Building Inspection Approval Z-9.1-559 of the German Institute for Structural Engineering and European Technical Approval ETA-08/0271.

B. General information
Panels
The panels are not treated with any coatings, wood preservatives or similar at the factory.
Available surface qualities:
Visible quality (VI, one-sided or BVI, on both sides)

Industrial visible quality (IVI, one-sided industrial visual quality and one-sided visible quality)
Industrial non-visible quality (INV, one-sided industrial visible quality, one-sided non-visible quality)
Non-visible quality (NVI, on both sides)
Construction/structural analysis
The orientation of the panel cover layers must take account of load transfer and structural analysis considerations.
Transport/assembly
The panels must be protected against direct weathering during transport, assembly and when standing as a shell.
Particularly where cross-laminated timber is used for visible panels it is important to avoid water stains and other
cosmetic flaws. The technical function of the panels will not be impaired if they briefly come into contact with water. The entire shell should be covered using a protective sheet or tarpaulins until it has been rendered rain-proof.
The building company must establish details of site conditions (access possibilities, position of the crane, etc.) so
that delivery and assembly of the solid wood panels can be carried out appropriately.
The CLT solid wood panels must be transferred using lifting gear provided on site or by the contractor. For unloading purposes, wall panels are generally provided with two attachment points, and ceiling panels with four attachment points. The respective panels weight and the transport position must be taken into account when deciding on the attachment points. Only undamaged suspension gear, chains or slings with an adequate load capacity
and load hooks with a safety catch may be used.
Care must be taken to ensure that the crane system is adequately stable during the construction phase.

TENDER TEXT
04/2012
Joints
A butt joint with a rebate on both sides and a jointing board or stepped rebate is recommended as the standard
panel joint.
Nails, wood screws (usually self-tapping wood screws), bolts, pins and special-design dowels may be used as
fasteners, as specified in the approval documents. The number and position of the fasteners must be determined
in accordance with design and structural analysis considerations.
The panel joints must be made wind-proof and airtight (e.g. using wall gasket Compriband, expanded foam
strips, butyl strip sealants, etc.).
Base points - sole plates:
CLT solid wood panels must be protected against rising damp at points at which they are in contact with concrete,
masonry etc. Any unevenness in the floor plate must be corrected before commencing the building work by levelling with shims (padding elements) or appropriate sleepers. If the panels do not achieve a flush connection, the
base joints must be thoroughly filled (e.g. using self-levelling mortar).
Wiring
It is recommended that wiring cut-outs are prefabricated at the factory, wherever possible. If cut out on site, the
load-bearing longitudinal CLT layers must not be weakened by transverse cuts or cross-sections.
If cut-outs for wiring are produced on site by craftsmen, the contractor must monitor the craftsmen's work to ensure that structurally important areas are not weakened.
Costing
The itemised prices must include:
All consumables and auxiliary parts such as: fasteners, jointing boards, sole plate timbers, soundinsulation and joint sealant strips
All costs for a crane and other lifting gear
All auxiliary equipment and structures needed to assemble the panels
Measures to protect against weathering during assembly
Any protective measures required for installed visible surfaces (e.g. thin soft wood fibred panels, lengths
of felt, foam films, etc.)
Note
CLT manufacturers charge contractors on the basis of the rectangular area circumscribed by the charged widths,
including any waste from cut-outs and off-cuts.
Charged lengths: from minimum production length of 8.00 m per charged width up to max. 16.00 m (in 10 cm increments).
Charged widths: for walls and ceilings: 245, 275 and 295 cm.
Charging of the client by the contractor in accordance with this tender is based on standard practice (certain
openings, gables, etc. are disregarded or deducted when measuring) for walls, ceilings and roofs.

CLT - CROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER
Below is an overview of the machining options of our Hundegger CLT panel cutting machine.
The machining options shown here cover most common machining operations. Any special machining operations
must always be clarified in advance and evaluated in conjunction with the Production department.
Machining options with the panel cutting machine

NOTE: as a basic principle, make sure that all machining process are performed on the same side of the panel
(panel surface).
Individual double sided panel machining operations are only possible upon request (in this case, the
panel must be turned over).
NOTE 2: by way of example, the illustration (on the right) shows several individual parts nesting inside a raw
panel with different machining techniques.
Panel 1
No special edge working (e.g. rebates on

underside, groove, horizontal bore) is possible.
Panel 2
Panel 3
In this case, it is also possible to work rebates
on the underside of the panel, as the tool can
process the individual part from the outer edge
of the raw panel.
Panel 4

Finger-joint cutter
Note:
With VI panels, cut-outs in corner areas are milled as standard
using the finger-joint cutter (therefore a corner radius of at
least 20 mm, from 160 mm panel thickness 40 mm) and not
cut out with the chainsaw (because of the risk of the chainsaw
blade pulling out or splashing oil).
Rounded corners on VI panels
Sharp-edged corners on
NVI/IVI panels
b) Purlin/rafter/tie beam notches

Tools used:
Chainsaw for NVI/IVI panels
Finger-joint cutter for VI panels
