Get PriceLastly, it is lighter so the base slab is much thinner. CONS: It is very difficult to persuade contractors to gear up to take advantage of the potential speed gains, due both to unfamiliarity and to demands on higher team numbers over shorter periods. The discoloration from the sun is an unavoidable cost.
Get PriceCROSS LAMINATED TIMBER PROPERTIES As a natural renewable product performance can vary slightly, but commercial cross-laminated timber systems generally achieve: • thermal conductivity: 0.13 W/mK • density: 480–500 kg/m3 (spruce) • 2.7 N/mm2

Get PriceAs an engineered timber product, with the cross-grain movement controlled by the cross-lamination, it is broadly dimensionally stable and shrinks less than standard solid timber construction. While it is usable on small projects, it is more often used on larger schemes where offsite manufacture and speed of construction can reduce costs.
Get PriceCross-laminated timber (CLT) CLT consists of wood studs or larger members glued together in multiple layers (typically three, five or seven, occasionally nine or more) at alternating right angles. Because the layers are oriented perpendicular to each other, the panels obtain structural rigidity in both dimensions, providing CLT with great tensile and compressive strength .
Get PriceDespite recent setbacks, cross-laminated timber (CLT) continues to be an attractive option for owners and developers constructing mid- and high-rise structures across the United States.

Get PriceCross-laminated timber (CLT) is when ‘layers of timber, known as lamellas, are glued together with the grain alternating at 90 degree angles for each layer’. Glue-laminated timber (glulam) is when laminates are glued together by layering them with the grain, which produces larger and longer length members.
