CLT Panels : Cross-Laminated Timber for Timber Construction
CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) is a structural solid wood panel made from finger-jointed timber lamellas glued in cross-oriented layers. This configuration gives the panel high rigidity, excellent dimensional stability, and strong mechanical performance, making it ideal for:
- Load-bearing walls and floors
- Structural bracing and partition walls
- Vertical extensions and building additions
- Residential, multi-housing, commercial, or public projects
CLT enables architects and builders to construct durable, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing timber structures quickly, while reducing the carbon footprint of construction through the use of a renewable material capable of storing CO₂.
BatiChêne : Innovation in Solid Oak CLT
BatiChêne CLT represents a major innovation for timber construction in France. It is manufactured from locally sourced hardwood oak, harvested from French forests and supplied through short supply chains. This approach promotes regional resources while offering a sustainable and ecological alternative to imported softwood CLT.
Oak provides durability, high mechanical strength, and a naturally refined appearance. It can store up to 1,200 kg of CO₂ per m³, actively contributing to low-carbon construction. The product is certified through the New Technical Assessment (ETN) process, ensuring quality, reliability, and insurability for developers, project owners, and architects.
Applications and Technical Support for Your Projects
BatiChêne CLT panels are suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Housing : single-family homes, apartment buildings, student residences, and care facilities
- Public buildings : schools, daycare centers, hotels, cultural and sports facilities
- Office buildings and industrial premises, including vertical extensions or building expansions
In addition to supplying CLT panels, DUCERF Group provides technical support through its engineering office, helping optimize panel selection, installation methods, and the overall performance of timber construction projects.
