XLAM-CLT 2012: Building the Future of Housing

About the Conference: An opportunity to focus on issues proposed by TMA technologies relating to the use of timber in construction. The construction system based on the use of cross laminated layers of timber planks (XLAM-CLT) has by now entered the perception of designers as the method offering the most possibilities, both from a technical-structural point of view and from an architectural perspective.

According to statistics, production increased by 23 percent, a good result, though certainly not enough to go back to pre-crisis levels.

So, the industry is still suffering, with an offer that is higher than demand.yes The domestic market (apparent consumption up by 38 percent
