Wigo by Praslas

Pioneers in this field, Wigo, since its founding in 1934 in Austria, actively involved in the production of wooden houses of high factory readiness.

Since the early 90's - Wigo, one of the first companies in Europe, launched the production of houses using CLT technology.

In 2018, Wigo, as a result of optimization of production processes, transferred its production to Latvia and continues its activities in the previous quality already as Wigo Group

In the year 2022, the company undergoes significant changes and it is merged with the internationally recognized company UAB Praslas from Lithuania. In the fall of 2022, a new brand is presented -

Production

Infrastructure of wigo
Located in Baltics

Production premises: 12 000 m2

Factory capacity:

- CLT panels 12000 m3 / year

- Glulam beams 10000 m3 / year

- Prefab and modular houses 50 units per year

Good infrastructure: Nearest port 50km, airport 50km, logistically good location at the intersection of transport and raw material flows of Estonia, Latvia, Sweden, Norway

CLT production

Boards of kiln-dried, finger-jointed spruce are sorted and cut into sheets of up to 10.5m by 2.95m. These sheets are then stacked and glued in press with microwave fixation in perpendicular layers. The panels are available in 3, 5, or 7 board layers.

The panels can be supplied with different grades of top layer - non-visual, industrial grade visual, and domestic grade visual.

Our manufacturing process of engineered CLT panels involves a number of innovations that set the product unique - the most notable of which is a gluing system which allows the use of melamine adhesive in the boards. This adhesive is able to achieve a very high quality level of adhesion, with no risk of toxic emissions at any stage in the product's life cycle.
Boards of kiln-dried
CLT is manufactured conforming to the European quality standards and the whole production process is certified.

Strict CLT production protocol

Our manufacturing starts with quality materials and high-end processing provided by automated equipment

CNC processing table
We entrust the processing of our Cross Laminated Timber panels to the Austrian - made Siegel MKS - 2009.

This machine allows processing panels with maximum dimensions: 3mx11mx280mm

  • It is possible to saw any straight or diagonal lines
  • Milling is possible for square, oval or circular openings
  • The machine can mill shafts for electrical installation
  • It is possible to incorporate a half tongue of panels
  • Milling can also be done at an angle
  • Drill different types of holes from the top or sides of the panel

Timber frame production


wigo group, panel
Production on our specialized production line, providing maximum frame compression and precise geometry of the panel.

Frame is the key element in building structure predetermining endurance, strength and durability of the building. Constructive parts of the house are made from fully treated, dried to 12% - 18% humidity, planed wood, strength classes C24, C32 .

Only certified raw materials from verified suppliers are used. All materials comply quality standards, our product is CE-marked.

Modular Production

Modular production using CLT panels or insulated timber panels.

Timber panel modular production process includes constructing wood framing, cold-formed steel framing. Once the floor system is complete the pre-constructed wall panels and roof system are added, thus completing the structure of the module. The electrical wiring and plumbing are inserted into the module both during the general construction of the structure and after the construction of the structure is complete. The exterior walls are then insulated and covered with sheathing.

Modular house
WIgo group
CLT modular houses are produced from CLT prefabricated panels - solid prefabricated elements or insulated prefabricated elements.

Solid prefabricated element - where CLT is a single, solid-wood structure, sanded and painted external and internal CLT surface, thickness of the structure up to 240mm.

Insulated prefabricated elements where is CLT structure with insulation, fixing battens, cladding and different external and internal surface finishings.

Quality assured by off-site manufactureing
Our manufactured elements are precisely engineered in an automated factory environment, not a building site, with conditions that are optimum for manufacturing. Each manufactured element is quality controlled throughout the design and manufacturing process, ensuring it matches the specification of each individual project.
Cross Laminated Timber - a synonym for sustainable, efficient and fast construction of the highest quality in modern wood buildings
PREFABRICATED HOUSES
Wigo prefabricated panel houses are built in our controlled facility, reducing time delays and material damage as well as minimising site disturbance and noise pollution
PREFAB PANELS
Wigo Group produce high-quality Prefabricated insulated wooden frame panels using only certified materials and strict quality control
WOODEN MATERIALS
