Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a large-scale, prefabricated, solid engineered wood panel. Lightweight yet very strong, with superior acoustic, fire, seismic and thermal performance, CLT is also fast and easy to install, generating almost no waste onsite. CLT offers design flexibility and low environmental impacts.

Mass timber products such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), nail-laminated timber (NLT) and glue-laminated timber (glulam) are at the core of a revolution that is shifting how designers think about construction.

Review the design methods and performance checks for CLT panels used in floor and roof applications and how to use these to show code compliance. Understand how to calculate the structural fire resistance rating of a CLT panel using the calculated method of …

Cross-laminated timber, better known as CLT, is a type of mass timber panel used in construction. CLT panels are made by gluing together layers of sawn lumber. Each layer (or lamella) is comprised of lengths of solid wood that are laid side by side.

May 20, 2018 · Popularized in Europe and gradually gaining attention in the rest of the world, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) stands out for its strength, appearance, versatility, and sustainability. The material...

May 31, 2023 · Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a wood panel made from gluing together at least three layers of solid-sawn lumber. Each layer of boards is usually oriented perpendicular to adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board.

What is CLT? CLT is made from several layers of solid wood panels bonded with a structural adhesive at alternating right angles. It is ideal for large floor, roof, and wall elements, where mass timber can significantly reduce CO 2 emissions compared …

Mar 27, 2024 · Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is a category of mass timber that is made by laying multiple layers—typically an odd number—of boards perpendicular to one another and then bonding them together using structural adhesive.

CLT is a prefabricated building component manufactured by gluing sawn boards together in several layers to form large flat wall and floor elements. Since the boards are laid in two perpendicular direc-tions, the CLT elements are able to take up loads in two directions.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a wood panel system that is rapidly gaining popularity in the U.S. after being widely adopted in Europe. The strength, dimensional stability, and rigidity of CLT allow it to be used in mid- and high-rise buildings.
