May 27, 2023 · Explore the rise of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in construction and its benefits as a sustainable and circular building material.

This month we have put together a selection of cross laminated timber (CLT) details. CLT is a growing construction method that demonstrates a number of benefits, including good structural properties, low impact on the environment, fast construction with off site preparation and good fire performance to name a few.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is becoming an increasingly popular construction method within the UK due its sustainable credentials, speed of erection and low structural weight.

May 20, 2018 · Popularized in Europe and gradually gaining attention in the rest of the world, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) stands out for its strength, appearance, versatility, and sustainability. The material...

Mar 27, 2024 · These examples of cross-laminated timber (CLT) architecture show why CLT is an up-and-coming replacement for heavier materials like steel and concrete. Cement and concrete manufacturing is responsible for around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions—more than any country except the US and China.

In Timber Engineering Bulletin No. 2, the engineered wood product known as cross-laminated timber (CLT) is introduced. This article provides a more detailed introduction to the applications and use of CLT as a structural timber product.

CLT is made from several layers of solid wood panels bonded with a structural adhesive at alternating right angles. It is ideal for large floor, roof, and wall elements, where mass timber can significantly reduce CO2 emissions compared to concrete and steel.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a large-scale, prefabricated, solid engineered wood panel. Lightweight yet very strong, with superior acoustic, fire, seismic and thermal performance, CLT is also fast and easy to install, generating almost no waste onsite.

establish roof/wall, wall/floor, and inter-story connections in CLT assemblies or to connect CLT panels to other wood-based, concrete or steel elements in hybrid construction.

Mar 3, 2022 · Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has been dubbed the concrete of the future. As a highly resilient form of engineered wood made by gluing layers of solid-sawn lumber together, CLT is reshaping...
