72 new house in cross laminated timber and concrete with DEFENCE ADHESIVE

The Cowper Street redevelopment project in Glebe, Sydney, is a significant example of residential building focused on sustaibanility and quality housing. Located in a growing urban area, the eight-storey building includes 40 one-bedroom flats, 27 two-bedroom flats and five family townhouses. This diversification responds to a wide and varied housing demand, ensuring modern and affordable housing. 

Cross laminated timber and concrete hybrid construction  

The structure combines the use of cross laminated timber and prefabricated concrete, a design choice that not only optimises structural strength, but also contributes to reduce energy consumption and emissions. During the construction phase, the protection of timber elements was a high priority in order to preserve their integrity and extend their service life. In this context, the DEFENCE ADHESIVE 200 self-adhesive membrane proved to be an ideal solution: designed to adhere instantly and resist moisture and weathering, it ensured effective protection of cross laminated timber houses without delaying construction time.
