Where to Apply Wooden Panels

Load-bearing walls of timber constructions are assembled like a children's construction set. They are used wherever there are demands for quick assembly, precise work, and low costs. Wooden panels used for the load-bearing walls of timber structures, either CLT panels or KVH profiles, are available in non-visible quality (for covered constructions) or with one or both surfaces visible.

What Characterizes Wood-Based Load-Bearing Wall Elements

For wooden panels used in the construction of load-bearing walls, it is true that they are pre-prepared in the supplier's covered hall. After being transported to the construction site, they are assembled - thus saving time is maximized.

Wooden panels can be used not only for the construction of load-bearing walls but also for entire buildings. Architects or the manufacturers themselves can help decide whether to choose CLT panels (cross-laminated) or KVH profiles with panel sheathing. Wood-based wall elements can also be used for load-bearing structures of floors and ceilings.

CLT Panels

A significant advantage of cross-laminated CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) panels is their integrity and high static load capacity in both directions. The construction system comprises at least three mutually perpendicular layers of solid wood that are glued with environmentally friendly adhesives free of formaldehyde and can be manufactured as non-visible or visible on one or both sides.

KVH Profiles

KVH beams are most commonly used for the production of wooden wall panels. The panels are constructed using the so-called two-by-four system. One side is subsequently covered with OSB or Fermacell panels.

How We Manufacture Load-Bearing Walls of Timber Constructions

At the beginning, there is of course the architect with the designer and investor. The specialists of KASPER CZ pay attention to every detail. They propose specific solutions for individual elements of the construction using specialized software and support it with static calculations.

For the actual production of wall elements, we most often use spruce or larch wood. In a covered hall, the load-bearing walls are completed precisely according to the assignment documentation. The finished prefabricated parts are transported by truck to the construction site where carpenters assemble them, install ceiling load-bearing structures, roofs, and roof elements.

KASPER CZ designs and supplies exclusively the load-bearing parts of the walls without elements that do not directly relate to the static stability of the building.
