The layered stacks are then pressed in large hydraulic or vacuum presses to form an interlocked panel.

Cross laminated timber clt panels are formed by stacking and gluing together successive perpendicular layers of wood.

Structural composition of clt laminations.
This maximizes the utilization of crosslam clt to produce cost effective structures.
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.
Machine stress rated or visually graded dimensional lumber or scl dried to 12 moisture content before layup.
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.
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.
Alternating grains improve clt panels dimensional stability.
Clt panels consist of not less than three cross bonded layers of timber typically ranging in thickness between 20mm and 45mm.

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.
