Making CLT Mainstream

Introduction

Lamella MMC Limited (Lamella) is a distributor of sustainable building products, principally Cross Laminated Timber (CLT).

Lamella is dedicated to giving excellent service to its customers and clients.

Lamella’s service offerings are set out in detail on its website; www.lamellammc.co.uk.

Part of Lamella’s service offering is to offer clients a virtual CLT supply chain and with that in mind Lamella can help co-ordinate the supply chain but does not accept responsibility or liability for third parties’ design, supplies or other services.

It is a matter for the client to engage directly with other suppliers and service providers.

Lamella can assist clients with initial budgeting by preparing an “Indicative Estimate” before the full detail is known, or clients can use the “CLT Calculator” provided on Lamella’s website by going to the Community section of the website and registering as a Lamella Community Member.

Please note that costs provided through Lamella’s “Indicative Estimate” and the “CLT Calculator” are only intended as a rough guide and are in no way to be taken as final or binding. This is due to the many variables involved that inevitably change as the design progresses.

Only once the design is provided at “Construction Status” and signed off by the structural engineers and client alike can a formal quote be provided. These drawings will show:

· What is to be built in CLT,

· The sizes of panels,

· The thickness and number of lamellas in the panels,

· The orientation of the lamellas in the panels,

· The openings for doors, windows etc,

· Lifting arrangements,

· Water resistant coating or coverings,

· The finish required (eg Non-Visual, Industrial Visual or Visual) and on how many sides,

· Fixings and membranes to be used.

Consequently, we recommend that the structural engineer’s drawings are completed as soon as possible and made available to Lamella. If a fire engineer has been instructed, their recommendations need to be incorporated into these drawings.
