AT ITS PEAK
Perched high on a mountain at over 3,000m, The Schwarzensteinhütte is an engineering marvel.
Resplendent in a copper exterior and wood interior, the construction of the six- storey hiker and mountaineer centre in the Zillertal Alps is a welcome retreat for those taking on the challenge of the alpine peaks.
A prefabricated engineered timber structure forms the mainstay of the 18m high building, with OSB taking a starring role.
Swiss Krono supplied 1,850m2 of its OSB4 18/22mm thick product for the project – 1,050m2
for external walls (on
both interior and exterior of wall panels), 650m2 housing and 150m2
upstands and interior areas.
The building also includes 21m3
of solid structural timber
for the timber frame outer wall, 311m2
of cross-laminated
timber (CLT) for the interior walls (100-140mm) and 473m2 of CLT for the ceilings (140- 180mm).
