Lignum publications
26.07.2023
Lignum, the Swiss timber industry, informs, raises awareness and publishes on important topics related to wood. Lignum defines the state of the art with its latest publications "Holzschutz im Bauwesen" and "Schallschutz im Holzbau". We recommend these publications to planners of timber construction projects.
Lignum, the Swiss timber industry, is the umbrella organisation of the Swiss forestry and timber industry. It unites all the important associations and organisations in the construction-oriented timber chain with a total of around 85,000 jobs. As a professional partner, we are involved in the production of new documentation and aids for the planning of timber construction projects. Recently, the following two documentations have been published.
State-of-the-art wood protection
The new Lignatec 35/2023 'Wood preservation in construction' replaces the Lignum basic document of the same name on wood preservation from 1995. The new edition is based on the currently applicable SIA standards and thus reflects the latest state of knowledge. Lignum members have already received the new edition by post. Non-members can order the document online from Lignum. Further information.
Sound insulation in timber construction
The new Lignum documentation on sound insulation first deals with the basics of building acoustics and central principles of sound transmission from building components. Based on this, it presents tried and tested solutions with detailed information on component structures and connection joints for various timber ceiling constructions in combination with timber stud walls and solid timber walls.
