RIFTLOC®
The design revolution in solid wood construction
The RIFT-quality designer cross-laminated timber panel
RIFTLOC® Supreme and RIFTLOC® Wohnsicht premium qualities mainly use rift-cut wood. The vertical annual rings in the lamellae create a uniquely simple surface structure. In addition, the natural swelling and shrinkage behavior of the wood is minimized and cracking is greatly reduced.
RIFTLOC® SUPREME sets new standards in BSP production with its virtually flawless and simple Oberfläche neue Maßstäbe in der BSP-Herstellung. Eingesetzt werden surface. Special rift and half-rift lamellas are used. Undesirable areas are cut out. After careful sorting, the pieces are reassembled, matching in color and structure.
RIFTLOC® Wohnsicht has a simple appearance. First-class wood from local forests in rift/half-rift
quality, carefully classified and sorted. The vertical growth rings of the lamellas result in low shrinkage,
which greatly reduces cracking. Uniformity in color and structure.
RIFT Cutting
RIFTLOC® – Precision Begins with the Cut
The secret behind the exceptional dimensional stability of RIFTLOC® lies in the special cutting technology used for the base material. In the so-called rift cut, wood lamellas are produced with vertical growth rings – a technique that reduces the wood’s natural swelling and shrinking behavior by about 50% (compared to a radial cut).
The resulting rift-cut lamellas impress not only with their enhanced dimensional accuracy and durability, but also with their clean, linear wood grain – an aesthetic statement for contemporary architecture.
With RIFTLOC®, we set new standards in quality and sustainability – perfect for sophisticated timber construction projects where precision and design go hand in hand.
