Iranian Experts Produce CLT Panels for Construction Industry
The company based at the Innovation and Materials Technology Center of Islamic Azad University’s Alborz branch started its research and studies in the field of producing all-wood panels with new and modern technology three years ago.
After scientific and field research and efforts regarding the production process of these panels, the company succeeded in indigenizing the production process of CLT.
The company's proprietary wood panel production process is completely unique, and this product is distinct from all similar foreign models.
The all-wood panels produced by this company can be transformed into various types of wooden structures in the shortest possible time, and the variety of products produced by these panels is unparalleled. The company's product portfolio includes engineered all-wood doors, all-wood panel cabinet doors and facades, all-wood partitions, flooring and wall coverings, stair treads, interior decoration, office desk tops, conference tables and dining tables, prefabricated house materials, all kinds of high-strength wooden boxes, and trailer floors.
CLT is a subcategory of engineered wood panel product made from gluing together at least three layers of solid-sawn lumber at angles to each other.[1][2] It is similar to plywood but with distinctively thicker laminations (or lamellae).
The grain of each layer of boards is usually rotated 90 degrees from that of adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board, usually in a symmetric way so that the outer layers have the same orientation.
An odd number of layers is most common, but there are configurations with even numbers as well (which are then arranged to give a symmetric configuration). Regular timber is an anisotropic material, meaning that the physical properties change depending on the direction at which the force is applied. By gluing layers of wood at right angles, the panel is able to achieve better structural rigidity in both directions.
