In this episode of WoodSolutions InFocus we visit a factory which produces cross laminated timber, or CLT. CLT is an engineered timber product that is quickly growing in popularity in the construction industry. With two-way action and high tolerance of shear forces, CLT panels can generally be used instead of concrete, saving huge amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Here, we see how CLT is produced and learns more about the quality checks involved in the manufacturing process.
