OUR STRUCTURE - KEA People

Building in timber is quick, clean & easy

Our timber structure allows us to construct better quality buildings, more quickly, with less foundations and deliveries, leading to guaranteed savings for the client.

Structural and thermal efficiency

Our timber building systems are of structural strength matching that of concrete and steel, while significantly surpassing their thermal and ecological efficiencies.

Good for you, Good for the planet

Timber is a naturally replenishable building material, which acts as carbon storage, making its use in construction beneficial towards combating climate change.

Our Timber Building Systems

Cross Laminated Timber

Lightweight Timber Frame

Both systems create an airtight building envelope which is combined with A+ rated insulation to achieve a significant improvement over standard building regulations and lower energy bills

CLT

Cross Laminated Timber

CLT is manufactured from boards of timber which are arranged side by side, then glued and pressed together to form panels of multiple layers, where each layer is at 90 degrees to the one before

CLT has a weight resistance ratio which rivals that of steel and concrete, allowing for the construction of multi-story buildings. The thickness of the panels is adjusted according to the structural specifications of each project. CLT can be clad in any material, or left exposed.

Thickness: 3 - 7 layers | 90 - 240 cm

Building Height: + 3 floors

Timber Source: Pine

European Certification: A

Lightweight Timber Frame

The Lightweight Timber Frame system consists of softwood structural timber elements, at every 40-60 cm, with insulation infill.

The overall thickness of the build-up is determined by the structural and thermal specifications of the project. Various kinds of insulation, ranging from rockwool to cullulose, can be used. Both the interior and exterior can be clad according to the client's preferences.

Dimensions: 45x45 | 95x45

Building Height: 1 - 3 floors

Timber Source: Pine

European Certification: A

Timber absorbs C02 during its growth, acts as carbon storage and can be recycled or reused

Timber is a replenishable natural material. On average the timber needed to construct 4,000 m2 is grown in 1h.
