In an era where resource-saving and environmentally friendly construction methods are essential, LIGNA systems sets new standards in TIMBER STRUCTURE design. With a comprehensive sustainability concept based on the three pillars<\/strong> of resource conservation, hybrid construction, and cascade use<\/strong>, we offer innovative solutions that are both ecological and economical for construction companies, architects, planners, and clients.<\/p>\n\n

Our truss construction method optimizes material use, enhances efficiency, and supports you in realizing sustainable construction projects that stand the test of time in their full life cycle assessment.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>

Pillar 1: Resource conservation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n

Efficient use of timber for maximum savings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Timber is a valuable resource that we use with care and maximum efficiency. Despite exclusively using FSC-certified timber<\/strong>, we anticipate that timber may not remain an unlimited resource in the future. Therefore, our focus is on resource-saving construction methods.<\/p>\n\n

Our innovative truss construction method allows us to save up to 50% of the timber compared to solid wood constructions without compromising stability or load capacity. These material savings not only contribute to more sustainable construction but also make your projects more cost-efficient.<\/p>\n\n

Comparing solid timber beams to truss beams<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Our perfected truss construction method maximizes material savings, offering cost-effective and resource-efficient timber structures. For example, a hall built with truss beams uses the same timber volume as a comparable hall with solid timber beams on concrete columns.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n

Pillar 2: <\/strong>
Hybrid construction<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Timber structures with steel cladding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

All-timber? <\/strong>
Not necessarily<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n

We believe in using each material where it performs best. LIGNA systems adopts a hybrid construction approach<\/strong>, combining the strengths of timber and steel. For cladding, lightweight metal facade systems like sandwich panels often make more sense than solid wood walls, particularly in terms of lifecycle analysis.<\/p>\n\n

In lifecycle assessments, lightweight metal systems often outperform solid wood walls due to their lower material mass while achieving similar physical properties.<\/p>\n\n

As a result, our timber structures are designed to integrate seamlessly into a variety of building solutions. This approach minimizes the ecological footprint and ensures competitive pricing, particularly for structural costs, against steel or concrete solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timber is a material too valuable to use only once. Our construction method with detachable connections<\/strong>, such as screws and bolts, ensures that components can be easily disassembled and reused<\/strong> after their lifespan.<\/p>\n\n

We create a circular economy where both timber and steel components can be recycled for new projects.<\/p>\n\n
