CLT: high-performance structural panels for mid- to large-scale mass timber construction.
Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a structural panel made by bonding layers of lumber in alternating directions, suitable for floors, walls, roofs, stairs, and other structural elements. It is the most widely used mass timber product for projects that must balance structural performance, construction efficiency, prefabrication readiness, and spatial quality.
Logs are processed into thin lamellas or members, then laminated and bonded with precise control over fiber direction and grade. This process distributes defects and stress concentrations, significantly improving structural stability and dimensional accuracy compared with solid timber.
Thickness, layup, and connection details vary by required performance, and the optimal combination is reviewed at the design stage based on the project's span, loading, and exposure conditions.
