Frequently Asked Questions
CLT offers numerous advantages, including reduced construction time, lower carbon footprint, and enhanced seismic performance, crucial in Los Angeles. Its fire resistance is also a significant benefit, and CLT's natural insulation properties contribute to energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs in Southern California's climate. Custom Green Construction Inc. can guide you through these benefits.
CLT's engineered design provides excellent seismic resistance. The panels' ability to distribute stress and absorb energy makes CLT structures resilient during earthquakes, a key consideration in Los Angeles. Custom Green Construction Inc. utilizes advanced connection systems to further enhance seismic performance, ensuring safety and structural integrity.
Yes, CLT possesses inherent fire resistance. The thick timber panels char on the outside when exposed to fire, creating an insulating layer that protects the inner layers of wood. This charring effect slows down combustion and maintains structural integrity longer than many other building materials, making it a safe choice for construction in fire-prone areas like Southern California.
