Mass timber

Mass timber refers to large, engineered wood panels and beams made by bonding smaller wood pieces together, creating sturdy, sustainable building materials. Unlike traditional light framing, mass timber provides high strength and fire resistance, allowing for the construction of mid- to high-rise buildings. It’s environmentally friendly because it utilizes renewable wood resources and stores carbon dioxide. Mass timber is versatile, aesthetically appealing, and can be prefabricated, reducing construction time. Its use in architecture balances natural warmth and modern engineering, offering an eco-conscious alternative to steel and concrete in construction projects.
