Specifying the Complete CLT & Plasterboard System
Covers the use of Cross laminated timber products in lightweight building code-compliant Wall and Floor/Ceiling systems for multi-residential buildings and other building segments. CLT is an engineered wood product that consists of multiple layers of timber planks stacked in alternating directions and bonded together with structural adhesives. Prefabricated, lightweight and harvested from sustainably managed forests, CLT walls enable fast construction with strength, stability and durability.
