cross-laminated timber (CLT)

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product made by layering thin wooden boards, or lamellas, in alternating directions and bonding them together. This technique enhances the strength and stability of the material, allowing it to be used for large structural elements like walls and floors in buildings. CLT offers a sustainable alternative to traditional construction materials, as it utilizes renewable resources and can reduce carbon emissions. It's gaining popularity in modern architecture for its aesthetic appeal and efficiency, enabling quicker construction and a lighter overall structure compared to concrete or steel.
