In anticipation of the New Year, Binkley Construction stands ready to support you in gearing up for the future. Here are a few impactful ways our mass timber can empower buildings to thrive in the year ahead:
Cross Laminated Timber
CLT, or cross-laminated timber, is crafted by layering wood at right angles and gluing it together. The finished product is a strong, durable, and eco-friendly building material. Made from wood, it’s a green choice, unlike steel or concrete which rely on fossil fuels. Using eco-friendly construction slashes our carbon footprint and fights climate change.
Lighter than steel and concrete, it’s easy to transport and assemble. Construction teams can save time, money, and resources by choosing CLT. It’s also a versatile player, perfect for walls, floors, and ceilings. Architects and builders love it for creating sustainable, strong, and eye-catching structures. If you’re all about sustainability in commercial construction, choose tough and dependable CLT.
Glue-Laminated Wood
Glue-laminated wood, or glulam, is made by bonding layers of timber with strong adhesives. The result is beams and columns that are incredibly tough and flexible. Glulam beams are super strong, supporting heavy weights with ease. They achieve this while being lighter and more flexible than solid timber. Architects love it for its versatility as it can be shaped into unique designs.
It’s also environmentally friendly and made from sustainably sourced wood. This makes glulam an eco-conscious choice in construction. For Binkley Construction, it’s about building responsibly while meeting structural and design needs.
Tongue & Groove Ceilings
Tongue and groove ceilings offer a smart approach to commercial construction. They seamlessly join wooden planks, creating a robust enclosure for elevated spaces. This method forms a sturdy barrier and effectively shields interiors from the elements. The technique requires precision to create a resilient defense for commercial spaces. Additionally, it infuses a sense of refinement and artisanal finesse into the ceiling.
Moreover, these planks are engineered for durability. Crafted from durable wood, they exhibit long-lasting resistance against wear and tear. They’re an investment in durable, weather-resistant, and visually appealing commercial establishments.
Tongue-and-groove ceilings provide a holistic solution for construction professionals seeking reliability. They also offer an elegant ambiance for businesses. Award your commercial property with a timeless and enduring charm.
Common Mass Timber Questions
Is mass timber fire-resistant?
Contrary to what you might think, mass timber has good fire-resistant properties. When exposed to fire, it forms a protective char layer that can slow down the spread of flames, preserving the structural integrity of the timber.
Is mass timber suitable for all types of construction projects?
Mass timber is versatile. It’s used in various projects, from residential to commercial and even industrial structures. However, certain considerations need to be taken into account based on the specific requirements of each project. Working with professionals like Binkley will help to ensure the right fit for the job.
How does mass timber compare to traditional materials like steel and concrete?
Mass timber has unique advantages compared to traditional materials. It’s lighter, eco-friendly, quicker to assemble, and provides a warm and natural aesthetic that many find appealing. However, each material has its strengths and applications, so the choice often depends on project needs and design goals.
