Description

CLT?insulated assemblies combine CLT structural panels with external insulation layers. XLam CLT data list mean density around 500 kg/m?, thermal conductivity about 0.12 W/m?K, and global warming potential roughly ?492 kg CO??e per m? (biogenic storage). These base CLT properties underpin CLIP assemblies; overall R?value depends on insulation thickness and type.
