THE 4 WS OF CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER, by Ben Stollerman, PE, PMP

What?
What exactly is cross laminated timber?

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a new generation of engineered wood which has been gaining popularity in the US thanks to building code updates and fire rated testing performances. CLT is defined as a new class of timber products known as massive or “mass” timber. CLT panels consist of several layers of lumber boards stacked crosswise (typically at 90 degrees) and glued together. A cross section of a CLT panel has at least three glued layers of boards placed in orthogonally alternating orientation to neighboring layers (see below). Prefabricated wall and floor panels provide an alternative to concrete, steel, and other wood framing methods. CLT is similar to plywood but with distinctively thicker lamination.
