LENOTEC Leno Solid Timber Construction this term stands for the family of products made from large format, solid boards of timber products. LenoTec building components are made of cross laminated timber panels in a manufacturing process developed and patented by Finnforest MERK. Large format homogeneous building components can be produced in dimensions up to 4,8 m x 20 m with thicknesses between 50 and 300 mm. The Leno system enables clients to build to better standards than the current regulatory minimum, giving excellent thermal performance, air-tightness and highly effective acoustic insulation.

BENEFITS
WHEN PLANNING / DESIGNING With Leno it is clients and architects who determine the design of a building without the constraints of frame-based or modular construction systems. The full freedom offered by the Leno system allows the design of buildings that fit the people who use them and the purposes they are used for. Leno buildings combine individuality with the highest levels of comfort and performance. Leno buildings are robust, highly durable and very economical to heat and maintain. WHEN CONSTRUCTING Slim sections; Leno structure allows generous open interior spaces and high ceilings without requiring thick walls or beams. Solidity, dimensional stability, durability, low maintenance cost and the low risk of traditional solid construction. With precise factory cutting of all panels and openings, site construction times are very short and buildings can be erected in almost any weather The Leno system allows complete freedom for individual choice of external cladding

Panellised Building Structure

COMMENTS: The general technical approval does not regulate the cross sections themselves but rather the calculation process for calculating cross sections of any sort. When the board level is under stress, the layers which run parallel to the direction of force or the direction of resultant stress are used for calculation (cf. page 9)

The calculation of deflections due to shear must be taken into consideration only for a length to thickness ratio of L:T < 30. Use a shear modulus of G = 60 N/mm2 over the entire length of the element. The use of wooden material visible surfaces as a replacement for the outer layer changes the effective modulus of elasticity and the permitted stress of the entire cross section.

SHEAR WALLS AND DIAPHRAGMS Shear walls and diaphragms are building elements necessary for proper lateral design. Diaphragms are (nearly) horizontal and are usually designed as simple supported beams while a shear wall is a vertical, cantilevered diaphragm. For calculating the permissible horizontal load on top of a shear wall the following applies: FH, adm. = adm. x t* x b, where adm. is the permissible shear stress (0,9 N/mm2 in this case), t* is the minor of the sum of the thicknesses of horizontal layers and the sum of the thicknesses of vertical layers, b is the width of the element. Each end of each shear wall segment has to be anchored down to the foundation with tension ties to prevent overturning. A base shear connection is also required to prevent sliding off. LINTELS AND BEAM TYPE ELEMENTS In these applications Leno is used in a edgewise bending condition. We recommend to take into account layers in direction of the resultant stresses only. For lintels this means that only horizontal layers are allowed to be considered to calculate the stresses. In this cases the material values of softwood due to its grade apply. Above wall cut-outs for windows or doors a partly fixed support can be assumed. POINT LOAD ONTO EDGE AREA This case occurs if a Leno wall acts as support for a steel beam for example. We recommend to take only vertical layers into account. The net cross section is the sum of the thicknesses of vertical layers of the bearing area multiplicated by the beam width. The permissible compression stress for the net cross section is 8,5 N/mm2 in this case.

DESIGN
WELL THOUGHT-OUT DOWN TO THE SMALLEST DETAIL
FLOORS Leno floor elements are strong and robust, and can directly accept a screed or dry flooring, and also under-floor heating. Once in place, they provide a safe and stable working platform to build upon straight away. Leno ground floor elements offer the possibility of reducing foundations, excavations and associated preliminary works. Between floors, Leno elements provide enhanced fire resistance, and can be specified with openings for staircases and service ducts pre-cut in the factory. Extended floor elements can provide cantilevered balconies without cold bridging.

WALLS Open plan spaces are more easily achieved with Leno than with conventional construction methods, and the inherent strength of the wall panels means that greater room heights can be achieved with thinner walls. Leno walls are delivered to site with all door and window openings pre-cut in the factory. They can take any form of external cladding. Internally, clay boards, fibre plasterboards, and even heavy cabinets can be fixed direct to Leno walls, anywhere, without the need to locate studs or fix battens. Panels can be specified with an interior grade finish to be left exposed. Leno walls are usually insulated externally: wood-fibre board, for example, is easy to fix to Leno, and offers the advantages of an all-timber construction.

ROOM IN THE ROOF Leno panels used for the floor and sloping roof elements automatically create rooms in the roof that can be used straight away or easily adapted later if more space is required or occupants requirements change. The roof elements are completely weather-tight, and their solidity is combined with appropriate insulation to prevent summer overheating, increasingly a problem in British buildings.

SERVICE CHANNELS Pre-specified Installation channels can also be cut into the panels in the factory, allowing a rapid first fix and increasing contractor efficiency.

SOUND REDUCTION Being solid timber, Leno panels have excellent sound-dampening qualities. Leno floors make it easy to meet the performances within the new Approved Document E. Leno party walls can provide up to 75dB sound reduction, well in excess of the statutory requirements.

MANUFACTURE AND ASSEMBLY

THE HIGHEST QUALITY
Leno solidtimber panels are manufactured to order and are bespoke to your project. Kiln dried spruce boards are cross laminated into large format panels. Wall, floor and roof elements can be pre-cut in the factory to any dimension and shape including openings for doors, windows, stairs etc. LenoTec panels can also be manufactured curved, with a minimum bend radius of 8 m. Assembly on site is exceptionally fast due to the large panel size: the elements are craned into position and simply joined together using a range of mechanical fixings. Typically the complete shell of a detached house can be erected, with roof, in a matter of days, allowing interior fit-out work in dry construction to commence immediately. Airtight from thicknesses of 85mm upwards, LenoTec elements form a very high quality and durable building envelope that can be easily clad with other materials such as timber, brick, mineral render, steel or composite panels. The elements are dimensionally stable, with no settlement over time, and require no movement joints. Solidtimber building structures offer the highest thermal, acoustic and fire performance to meet and exceed Building Regulation requirements. Eurban designed and installed solidtimber structures are also covered by insurance backed warranties from the UKs leading providers. LenoTec buildings provide exceptionally comfortable living and working environments. Being made of solid timber, they make a positive contribution to a sustainable environment, and they are completely recyclable.

Production floors for Leno elements

LenoTec elements consist layers of spruce boards bonded crosswise. They are manufactured in sizes of up to 4,8 x 20,0 m and with thicknesses of max. 30 cm.

CONSTRUCTION PHYSICS
THERMAL INSULATION
LenoTec with = 0,13 W/mK has the same thermal conductivity as solid spruce wood. Insulating Leno-buildings can be done with any insulation. The diagram below shows the heat transition coefficients of an exterior wall (85 mm) as calculated according to EN ISO 6946 depending on the thickness of insulation system applied to the whole surface.

MOISTURE PROTECTION
The building material is open to vapour diffusion and, depending on the moisture of the wood, LenoTec has a diffusion figure of = 4080. When using a vapour permeable exterior insulation, vapour barriers are not required. The release of moisture in a construction has to be verified in line with EN ISO 12572.

AIR-TIGHTNESS
LenoTec with a thickness of 85 mm or above can be used as an air-tight layer. Additional sealing of the surface is not required. Building component junctions (socket connection, windows, doors, lintel connection ) must be sealed with suitable materials. You can request further information on these details and the correct application from EURBAN Construction.

FIRE PERFORMANCE
The material has a mathematical charring rate of 0,7 mm/min. The requirements for protection against fire (F 30-B, F 60-B, F 90-B) can be achieved using the following measures: Thermal calculation (DIN 4102, inclusion of residual bearing capacity) Example: A ceiling d = 115 mm with 4,20 m span and full use in the cold calculation (static calculation, max. deflection l/300) complies with F 30-B without cladding or additional measures. Additional wooden layers applied directly in the manufacturing process that are not required for structural calculation When using the following cladding applied directly without substructure (based on DIN 4102 part 4 tab. 84) no further document evidence of conformity needs to be carried out for the classification of the entire building component in the following fire resistance categories.
