Benefits of CLT

Using XLam CLT improves construction sustainability, increases site efficiency, reduces capital and construction costs, enhances site safety, and improves project R.O.I.

What is CLT?

XLam CLT panels are structural timber panels made with layers of finger jointed Radiata Pine lamellas arranged at right angles to one another, laminated together with a moisture cured polyurethane glue applied to the face under pressure. The 90-degree cross lamination of alternate layers provides dimensional stability, strength, and rigidity.

Panel sizes are available up to 16m x 3.4m and panel thickness is variable depending on load and span. Panel configuration is 3, 5 or 7 layers, with cumulative panel thicknesses between 90mm and 310mm.

XLam technical guides are available, and our technical team works closely with our clients and project partners to provide design and engineering support.
