ETC Bygg
ETC Bygg is known for the construction of energy-efficient houses, and it wants to avoid today's standard construction materials, such as concrete and plaster, in its construction projects. The idea is that the timber structures of the houses contain sequestered carbon dioxide, which makes them more climate friendly. The company believes that the use of climate smart structural solutions is one of the most important things we can do at the moment for the climate.
ETC Bygg is a new Swedish construction company that builds more affordable and more ecological rental properties with timber frames. The CLT elements that remain visible are treated at the worksite using the biobased NT DECO flame retardant.

CLT MODULE CONSTRUCTION ALLOWS FOR LOWER CONSTRUCTION COSTS
A house will become climate-friendly if it is built from the right materials. There are many wooden houses in Sweden, but they often feature concrete frames. The houses of ETC Bygg utilize, to the extent permitted by the construction standards, CLT modules, completely wooden facades, plastic-free toilet walls, recycled materials, extremely effective insulation solutions, and solar panels on the roofs and balconies.
The company aims to identify climate smart solutions for each detail. For example, the timber frames manufactured in Austria are made from wood that is not harvested through clear felling, and the construction elements are transported by rail wherever possible.
