The cross laminated timber panel includes a top side, a bottom side, a first side, and a second side. The panel also includes a notch in the bottom side and a T-flange on the top side.

Description
- The present invention relates generally to the art of exterior walls of buildings, and more specifically to a wall panel, a wall panel system, and a method of installation thereof, for buildings.
- Cross-Laminated Timber or CLT is a pre-fabricated, engineered wood building material with unique and often superior building, aesthetic, environmental, and cost attributes. CLT wood panels are made by pressing perpendicular layers of lumber together with a layer of formaldehyde-free adhesive. The fusion of orthogonal wood layers is what gives CLT biaxial strength, durability, and stability. CLT can serve as a system-based approach for floors, walls, and roofs to form a high-performance, sustainable, and beautiful mass timber building of virtually any type.
- CLT requires less energy to produce than other building materials such as steel and concrete and is made from renewable material. CLT panels may be prefabricated and are also lighter than panels made from other material such as steel, thereby reducing design costs of the building. CLT panels may be connected together to create the floor, wall, or roof.
- Most wall panels of a curtain wall system are constructed from glass and aluminum. Not only are these materials expensive, they limit the design of the wall panel, and thus, the wall system.
- In one aspect, a wall panel is provided that includes an infill component, a first extrusion, and a second extrusion. The infill component includes a top side, a bottom side, a first side, and a second side. The panel also includes a notch in the bottom side and a T-flange on the top side. A wall system is provided comprising a plurality of connected wall panels. A method of installing the wall panel system is also provided.
- The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustration, there is shown in the drawings different embodiments. It should be understood, however, that the teachings are not limited to the precise wall panel system arrangement shown.
