Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product known for its high structural strength and stability, making it an excellent building material for construction. CLT is created by stacking layers of lumber in alternating directions and bonding them together with structural adhesives. Typically, CLT panels consist of an odd number of layers—usually three, five, or seven—which are pressed to produce solid, rectangular panels that are straight and sturdy.
Common applications of cross-laminated timber include long spans for walls, floors, and roofs. CLT products are made from lumber and resins, combining these materials to enhance performance and durability.
