CLT panels for timber construction

ZTC uses mineral wool, cellulose insulation and wood fibre insulation. The company has an industrial Isofloc system for blowing cellulose and wood fibre insulation.

Panels are connected with long screws or special timber connectors. A wind barrier is used externally, a vapour control layer internally, and membranes are carefully taped across the building.

Airborne sound insulation in timber houses can be very good, especially with cellulose or wood fibre. Impact sound in intermediate floors should be addressed with appropriate floor and ceiling solutions.

For houses up to around 3 storeys, timber frame is often more economical. CLT may suit load-bearing structures, hybrid solutions or where exposed solid timber walls are desired.

Standard wall U-values are Comfort 0.167, Premium 0.136 and Lux 0.100 W/m²K.

The specified U-value depends on the complete wall build-up agreed for the project, including layers installed on site. Whole-building energy performance also depends on windows, junctions, airtightness and building services. Your design team coordinates these with the project’s energy assessor.

The n50 value describes building airtightness. In quality constructions it is possible to achieve n50 below 0.6, which is important for energy-efficient buildings.

The final EPC rating depends on the complete building specification and is determined by an accredited assessor for the project.

Insulation, windows, airtightness, heating, ventilation and renewables all affect the result. The project’s accredited assessor determines the final EPC rating from the full specification. ZTC panels can support the agreed energy target, but a structural package alone cannot guarantee an EPC rating. Your design team should coordinate the full specification with the assessor.

Energy calculations are prepared during the design stage, before the panel specifications are finalised, and updated for the completed building.

The client or design team appoints a qualified assessor. Agree responsibility early so the calculations can guide the insulation, windows, airtightness, heating, ventilation and any renewables before manufacture.

Yes. ZTC manufactures timber frame panels in Latvia and provides transport and on-site assembly in the UK according to the agreed project scope. Your local architect or project team is responsible for architectural drawings, approvals, foundations and site readiness. The offer sets out the exact division of work.
