This maximizes the utilization of crosslam clt to produce cost effective structures.
Clt wall panel thickness.
Board thickness typically varies between 5 8 inch to 2 inches with board width ranging from 2 4 to 9 5 inches the panels can be manufactured at custom dimensions though transportation restrictions dictate their length.
Alternating grains improve clt panels dimensional stability.

The layered stacks are then pressed in large hydraulic or vacuum presses to form an interlocked panel.
Maximum size of a panel.
Structural composition of clt laminations.
The apa mark of quality.
The timber is strength graded to bs en 14081 1 2005 and glued together in a press which applies pressure over the entire surface area of the panel.
Cross laminated timber clt panels are formed by stacking and gluing together successive perpendicular layers of wood.
Panel section with gaps and grooves sawn in the timber to relieve shrinkage stresses 28.

Cross laminated timber clt cross laminated timber crosslam clt is a multi layer mass timber product spanning two directions with precision accuracy resulting in a secure airtight building solution for any floor wall roof or core.
Standardized sizing achieving building efficiencies can be greatly enhanced if the project is designed from the beginning with standard crosslam clt panel sizes such as 2 4 m or 3 m by 12 19 m.
The panel is then sized and shaped with a computer numerically control cnc machine into a fully construction ready component.
Machine stress rated or visually graded dimensional lumber or scl dried to 12 moisture content before layup.

Clt sizing finished panels are typically 2 to 10 feet wide with lengths up to 60 feet and thickness up to 20 inches.
Widths up to 18 feet and lengths up to 98 feet are possible but uncommon.
