Introducing CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber)
Zen Haus is proud to be an importer of high-quality CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) from Austria.
We bring the best of European engineering and sustainability to Australia, providing exceptional building materials for your construction needs.
Why Choose CLT?
CLT is a revolutionary construction material that offers superior strength, stability, and versatility compared to traditional building materials. Its unique cross-laminated structure enhances its load-bearing capacity and provides excellent seismic, fire, and thermal performance.
Our CLT panels are manufactured in Austria - an EU country with a longstanding history of timber manufacture and processing - meeting the highest standards of quality and sustainability. With an annual production capacity of 95,000 cubic meters, our suppliers ensures a reliable supply of premium CLT to meet your project demands.
Key Features of CLT
CLT is highly versatile, suitable for various construction projects from homes to multi-story buildings. Its cross-laminated structure provides superior strength and stability, while excellent thermal and acoustic insulation enhances energy efficiency. Prefabricated panels allow quick, efficient construction, and its eco-friendly, sustainably sourced timber promotes environmental sustainability. Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial use, CLT offers unmatched versatility and performance.

Wall, roof and ceilings
Wall applications
One building product, unlimited uses. The structural and static benefits of CLT make it a real all-rounder in component planning. As an element with high static and stiffening properties, it can absorb and safely dissipate excessive vertical forces. Its excellent, characteristic insulating properties make it particularly interesting for the low-energy and passive house standard. Wall elements made of CLT also ensure a balanced room climate.
Roof and ceilings applications
The requirements of large spans with low component heights make CLT a good choice for ceilings and roof construction. Rigid and dimensionally stable, the components are able to dissipate horizontal loads in the corresponding static system. The high degree of prefabrication of the components guarantees that the next floor can be installed quickly.
Technical information
Other sizes available on request.
High Stability
The timber layers are pressed with alternating core sides in the central positions. This means that higher form stability and dimensional accuracy is obtained for the elements.
Surface Processing
The elements are sanded in the direction of the grain to emphasise the natural structure of the high quality timber.
Pressing Power
For an optimal and even pressing result, the CLT components are manufactured by using the latest pressing technology with a pressing power of 1 N/mm.
Narrow Side Adhesion
The individual timber layers are first glued to form a one-layer board to create high air density. At the same time, this procedure increases the stability and enhances the stiffness.
