BOOK HEREWhat is Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)?
Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a high-performance engineered wood panel created by layering timber boards at right angles and bonding them together. This results in a strong, stable, and lightweight material ideal for walls, floors and roofs. CLT matches the structural power of concrete and steel while offering a renewable, low-carbon alternative.
Why Choose CLT for Sustainable Building?
CLT naturally stores carbon, significantly reducing a building’s environmental impact. Sourced from responsibly managed forests, it uses renewable timber and requires far less energy to manufacture than steel or concrete. Its production minimises waste and at the end of its life, CLT can be recycled or repurposed—supporting circular, sustainable construction.
Key Benefits of CLT Construction
• Exceptional Strength & Durability: Suitable for homes, extensions and multi-storey buildings.
• Design Flexibility: Ideal for walls, floors and roofs, supporting simple to highly complex architectural designs.
• Fast Assembly: Prefabricated panels enable rapid installation, reducing labour and overall project time.
• Energy Efficient: Timber’s natural insulation improves thermal performance and reduces energy use.
• Fire Resistance: CLT forms a protective char layer during fire exposure, maintaining structural stability.
Innovative Features of CLT
CLT’s lightweight structure lowers transportation emissions and reduces on-site preparation costs. It also integrates seamlessly with renewable energy systems—such as solar panels, heat pumps and ventilation technologies—making it an exceptional choice for modern, eco-focused developments.
