Title: Wooden House Project: An International Benchmark of Glulam Framing and WPC Decking Subtitle: Integrating Natural Aesthetics with Industrialized Production for Global Competitiveness

Project Background

Located in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, this high-end wooden villa spans approximately 450 square meters and serves both residential and exhibition purposes. The project was independently designed, produced, and constructed by our company, aiming to showcase China's industrial capabilities and environmental philosophy in wooden structure construction through the integration of glulam framing, wood cladding exterior walls, and WPC decking. This project serves as a benchmark case for expanding into overseas markets.

Project Implementation Details

1. Glulam Framing: Industrialized Precision Manufacturing

• Materials and Technology:
  Self-developed glulam components were used, with raw materials sourced from FSC-certified Nordic spruce. Precision cutting was achieved using CNC equipment, ensuring component tolerances of less than 2mm, meeting international prefabricated building standards.

• Structural Design:
  The main beam spans 12 meters, leveraging the high strength of glulam to create a column-free large space. The roof utilizes a pre-assembled truss system, improving on-site assembly efficiency by 40%.

• Construction Highlights:
  BIM technology was applied throughout the construction process, enabling the glulam frame to be completed in just 15 days, reducing the construction period by 30% compared to traditional wooden structures.

2. Wood Cladding Exterior Walls: Balancing Nature and Technology

• Material Innovation:
  The exterior walls feature self-developed modified wood cladding (Canadian red cedar base + nano-coating), combining natural wood grain aesthetics with UV resistance and anti-corrosion properties, with a service life of over 25 years.

• Installation Technology:
  A hidden clip system was used to achieve a nail-free appearance, meeting the stringent aesthetic requirements of European and American markets. A breathable waterproof layer was integrated to address moisture-related issues in humid climates.

3. WPC Decking: Merging Environmental Protection with Functionality

• Material Advantages:
  High-density co-extruded WPC (70% recycled plastic + 30% wood fiber) was used for decking and fencing, with a bending strength of ≥35MPa, far exceeding international ASTM standards. It is suitable for extreme cold (-30℃) to high-temperature (60℃) environments.

• Design Highlights:
  Modular splicing design supports DIY installation by customers. An intelligent drainage system ensures no water accumulation, making it ideal for rainy regions.

4. Full-Process Quality Control

• Production Process:
  Our factory is equipped with German Homag production lines, enabling fully automated processes from raw material pretreatment to finished product packaging, with a monthly capacity of 2,000 cubic meters to support large-scale overseas orders.

Project Impact and Market Value

1. Industry Recognition:
   The project was awarded the 2024 "China Green Building Innovation Award" and included in the "Global Wooden Structure Construction Case Yearbook," becoming a model project for the integration of glulam and WPC technologies.

2. Customer Feedback:
   Overseas inspection teams (e.g., Nordic building material buyers) highly praised the project: "The level of industrialization from design to construction is astonishing, especially the modular components and environmental certification system, which fully meet EU market demands."

3. Social Benefits:
   As a demonstration site for Suzhou's eco-tourism, the project has received over 5,000 visitors, 30% of whom are international clients, successfully boosting brand awareness in Southeast Asia and Europe.

Core Competitive Advantages

1. Full Industrial Chain Control:
   Vertical integration from timber procurement, glulam processing to WPC production reduces costs by 20%, with a stable delivery cycle of 45 days.

2. Customization Capabilities:
   Supports material ratio adjustments based on customer needs (e.g., termite-resistant WPC, fire-resistant glulam) and provides multilingual technical documentation and remote installation guidance.

3. Sustainability Commitment:
   Product carbon footprint is certified under ISO 14067, and WPC decking materials are 100% recyclable, aligning with ESG investment trends in European and American markets.

Conclusion

This case not only validates the global competitiveness of China's wooden structure technology but also demonstrates the perfect integration of industrialized production and natural aesthetics. Through the precision manufacturing of glulam frames, the durability innovation of wood cladding, the functional design of WPC decking, and the full-process quality control system, our company offers overseas customers a complete solution characterized by "high cost-effectiveness, low-carbon certification, and fast delivery."

FAQs: Wooden Structure Building Solutions

1. General Questions

Q1: What is glulam, and why is it a better choice for construction?
A: Glulam (glue-laminated timber) is an engineered wood product made by bonding layers of solid wood together. It offers superior strength, stability, and sustainability compared to traditional timber. Glulam is also more resistant to warping and cracking, making it ideal for large-span structures like beams and arches.

Q2: What are the advantages of using WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) for decking?
A: WPC decking combines the natural look of wood with the durability of plastic. It is waterproof, anti-slip, and resistant to insects and rot. Unlike traditional wood, WPC requires minimal maintenance and is ideal for outdoor spaces like gardens, balconies, and pool areas.

Q3: Are your products environmentally friendly?
A: Yes, all our products are designed with sustainability in mind. Our glulam is made from FSC-certified wood, and our WPC decking contains up to 70% recycled materials. We also adhere to international environmental standards like ISO 14067 for carbon footprint management.

2. Product Specifications

Q4: What types of wood are used in your glulam products?
A: We primarily use FSC-certified Nordic spruce and Canadian red cedar, known for their strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. These woods are sustainably sourced and meet international quality standards.

Q5: Can your WPC decking withstand extreme weather conditions?
A: Absolutely. Our WPC decking is designed to perform in temperatures ranging from -30°C to 60°C. It is UV-resistant, waterproof, and highly durable, making it suitable for various climates.

Q6: What is the lifespan of your wood cladding?
A: Our wood cladding, treated with advanced nano-coating technology, has a lifespan of over 25 years. It is resistant to UV rays, moisture, and insects, ensuring long-term performance with minimal maintenance.

3. Installation and Maintenance

Q7: How easy is it to install your products?
A: Our products are designed for easy installation. Glulam components are prefabricated and labeled for quick assembly, while WPC decking features a modular design with a clip system for DIY installation. We also provide detailed installation guides and remote support.

Q8: Do I need special tools to install WPC decking?
A: No, basic tools like a saw, drill, and measuring tape are sufficient. Our WPC decking is designed for hassle-free installation, even for non-professionals.

Q9: How do I maintain glulam structures and WPC decking?
A: Glulam requires minimal maintenance—just periodic inspections for structural integrity. WPC decking can be cleaned with water and mild detergent. Unlike traditional wood, it does not require sanding, staining, or sealing.
