construction timber

Tradition with a future

Wood has been on the rise as an unbeatable construction material for years. JAF offers everything you need to build with wood, from certified construction materials such as GLT, construction timber and CLT to decorative cladding products and environment-friendly insulation materials for a pleasant indoor climate.

Construction timber fit for the futurE

Researchers at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, working on behalf of proHolz Austria, recently discovered that the share of timber construction components used in Austria has doubled in the last 20 years.1 A trend which is also gathering pace beyond Austria’s borders. Besides the far-reaching environmental and climate-related advantages of this natural product, wood is also a highly functional building material which is fully aligned with today’s demands in terms of modern and sustainable construction. This is perfectly reflected in JAF’s wide product range for timber construction projects. Extensive consulting expertise and comprehensive service support customers during project implementation.

The degree of pre-fabrication and exact planning are the keys to cost-effective project calculations in the timber construction sector. Particularly when it comes to CLT, JAF has many years of experience which have enabled it to become a valued partner during the planning and implementation of CLT projects.
