Lightweight yet very strong, with superior acoustic, fire, seismic and thermal performance, CLT is also fast and easy to install, generating almost no waste onsite. CLT offers design flexibility and low environmental impacts. For these reasons, cross-laminated timber is a highly advantageous alternative to conventional materials like concrete, masonry, or steel, especially in multifamily and commercial construction.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Anatomy of a CLT Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A CLT panel consists of several layers of kiln-dried lumber boards stacked in alternating directions, bonded with structural adhesives, and pressed to form a solid, straight, rectangular panel.

To address this challenge, the Acetra team worked closely with the project\u2019s acoustic engineers when designing the walls, floor, ceilings, etc., in some cases thickening the walls or slabs to keep noise from carrying across the structure and into neighboring buildings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safety Precautions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Because timber is flammable, heightened fire restrictions needed to be met with this build. \u201cIn some cases, this was achieved by adding layers over the walls, but we also needed to create thicker walls in some areas to keep the timber exposed,\u201d says Maksimovic. \u201cThe clients wanted to see the timber, so we had to carefully calculate the width of the walls to meet code in case of a fire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With these goals in mind, the Acetra team got to work designing the structural components of the over-ground structure. This process took roughly 10 weeks to complete with the assistance of BIM technology, the architecture team, and contractors along the way.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/2022\/04\/27\/acetra-zwolle-project-part-two\/\">part two<\/a>, we\u2019ll dive into the complete design process, including how the team overcame a few unexpected bumps along the way.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_id=&#8221;examples&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.7&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f2f2f2&#8243; background_image=&#8221;https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/11\/bkg1.png&#8221; background_enable_image=&#8221;off&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3408&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.1&#8243; width=&#8221;70%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/07\/CTA_BD_20221.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Vertex BD Free Trial&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/free-trial\/&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Related Services&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Rubik|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;42px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]\n<h2>Related stories<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; posts_number=&#8221;3&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;27&#8243; show_author=&#8221;off&#8221; show_date=&#8221;off&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;off&#8221; show_pagination=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_blog][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/vertexcad.com\/bd\/case-studies\/&#8221; button_text=&#8221;View all&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In construction, challenges come with the territory.
