TCC Norms
In addition to EC 5 »Design and construction of timber structures«, the HBV shall be standardised. In preparation for this, several research institutions in Europe are currently working on a technical specification.
Properties of TCC
- Large load spans
- low dead weight
- good fire resistance
- good sound insulation
- low susceptibility to vibration
- prefabrication possible

In comparison with other methods, they offer manifest cost advantages.
In the field of construction of commercial buildings and housing, but especially in the field of social housing, the refurbishment of timber-beamed ceilings often appears to be disproportionally expensive. .
Some solutions which, when viewed in comparison with other refurbishment methods, constitute justifiable expenditure, only infrequently meet today’s criteria in terms of accommodation comfort, and can often not be practically implement in practice while complying with the requisite standards.
Think Again! TCC saves costs, and the result is the same!
Defects due to the age of timber-beamed ceiling are frequently only detected because the ceiling is sagging:
The furniture slides, and a ball will automatically end up in the centre of the room. There are some further, equally challenging problems.
However, when it comes to rehabilitation of timber-beamed ceilings, many planners take the view that up-to-date sound attenuation, vibration reduction, increased load bearing capacity by correcting sag, and compliance with the latest fire resistance requirements can only be met by removing the existing interior of a building and installing new concrete ceilings.
Take advantage of our many years of experience in the areas of refurbishment and reconstruction: Timber-beamed ceiling, timber-concrete composite ceiling, timber-timber composite ceiling – get it reliably refurbished or built - with Elascon.
