Cross Laminated Timber
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) Construction
Cross Laminated Timber is establishing itself as a quicker, greener alternative to concrete or steel structural frames. CLT is a structural two-way spanning solid wood panel product that can be used to form walls, roof and floor panels as well as shear walls. It is produced by stacking a number of layers of timber, known as lamellas, at 90º to the layer below and subsequently glued to create panels of up to 12m in length and 2,950mm in width, which can encompass between three and seven layers. The thickness of CLT is from 60mm up to 450mm.
The benefits include;
- Reduced loading on foundations and infrastructure services
