Mass timer construction screws and fasterners

Valued for its natural beauty, strength, and versatility, wood offers endless possibilities in architecture and design. Conveying warmth and sophistication, it can be used as a load-bearing structure and an interior finish material. Mass timber construction is capturing the imaginations of leading building and design professionals, who continue to evolve and advance its potential.

What is Mass Timber?

 

Mass timber is a type of engineered wood product made from several layers of lumber boards that are glued together to create large structural elements such as columns, beams, and panels. Mass timber is a renewable and sustainable building material that is gaining popularity in the construction industry due to its many benefits, including its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

 

There are several types of Mass Timber: 

  • Cross-laminated timber (CLT): CLT is the most common type of mass timber and consists of several layers of lumber boards stacked perpendicular to each other and bonded with adhesive
  • Glue-laminated timber (glulam): Glulam is made by gluing several layers of lumber boards together in parallel, creating a strong and durable beam or column.

 

 

Mass timber has several advantages over traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. It is lightweight, yet strong and durable, and can be used to build tall buildings without the need for a steel or concrete core. Mass timber also has a lower carbon footprint than traditional building materials, as the production process generates less greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, mass timber is easy to work with and can be cut and shaped on-site, allowing for faster construction times.

 

In recent years, mass timber has become increasingly popular in the construction industry, with several tall buildings being constructed using this material. The use of mass timber is expected to continue to grow as more architects and builders recognize the benefits of this sustainable and innovative building material.

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

 

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a wood panel system that widely adopted in Europe. The strength, dimensional stability, and rigidity of CLT allow it to be used in mid- and high-rise buildings.

Glued-Laminated Timber (glulam/GLT)

 

Glued-laminated timber (glulam) is a structural engineered wood product commonly used for beams and columns in residential and commercial applications. It is a highly visible form of mass timber in contemporary projects, with long spans framing signature designs left exposed to take advantage of wood’s natural aesthetic.

WIROX - the SPAX exclusive surface

 

WIROX (colour "silver"), the standard galvanisation with high corrosion protection from SPAX. Thanks to a special production process and different coating thicknesses, SPAX with optimised WIROX surface offers significantly higher corrosion protection compared to conventional bare galvanised screws. The zinc coating thickness has been increased by 25% and is now 10μm - this means that the screws comply with class T2/C2nw in accordance with EN 14592. WIROX is chrome 6 free and therefore significantly more environmentally friendly than conventional surfaces, both in production and in use.
