Sweden’s Setra Now Offering Cross-Laminated Timber Frames With Moisture Protection

Lesprom Network is reporting that Setra, one of Sweden’s largest wood industry companies, is the first company in Sweden to offer a new moisture protection for frames made from cross-laminated timber.

The moisture protection, Wetguard200SA, is manufactured by Siga Cover AG, a Swiss company, and is applied to surfaces such as floor structures and end-grain wood when the frames are being manufactured in Setra’s cross-laminated timber production facilities. This helps to streamline the construction process.
