cross-laminated timber (CLT)
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product made by stacking layers of lumber at right angles and bonding them together with adhesives. This process creates large, solid panels that are strong, stable, and suitable for various construction applications, including walls, floors, and roofs. CLT is known for its sustainability, as it utilizes renewable resources and can reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional building materials.
CLT is gaining popularity in modern architecture and construction due to its versatility and aesthetic appeal. It can be prefabricated off-site, which speeds up the building process and minimizes waste. Additionally, CLT structures often provide excellent thermal insulation and can contribute to energy-efficient buildings.
