CLT is a revolutionary building system that substitutes for concrete, masonry and steel in some applications. Ideal for floors, walls, and roofs, CLT has been described as the perfect structural solution. Structurlam has created its own line of Cross Laminated Timber called CrossLam.
Detail Library - New Details March 2023 - CLT Details
This month we have put together a selection of cross laminated timber (CLT) details. CLT is a growing construction method that demonstrates a number of benefits, including good structural properties, low impact on the environment, fast construction with off site preparation and good fire performance to name a few.

Room-in-the-roof construction highlights the opportunity for prefabrication. Where a roof is required to have a simple arrangement of continuous ridges and gable ends, a room in the roof can be formed using CLT panels.
CLT bearing walls supporting CLT floor and roof panels are well suited to multi-family residential projects. Platform framing is common for low and mid-rise buildings. The simplest platform detail is a butt joint. The butt joint requires minimal fabrication effort, since the panels are merely square cut. However, it is
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) was developed in Europe for the prefabricated construction of wall, roof, and flooring elements. Adaptation of CLT for use in the United States requires consideration of the different climates, building codes, and construction methods in this country.
Walls using CLT are usually chosen for their large load-bearing and stabilizing capacity. CLT also pro-vides good physical building properties such as sound and fire retardation. The panel's moisture buffering properties also contribute to a more even and improved indoor climate. For external roofs, CLT panels can be supplied as
Cross-Laminated Timber is a pre-fabricated, engineered wood building material with unique and often superior building, aesthetic, environmental and cost attributes. Though introduced to the European market about thirty years ago, CLT is only now being adopted in North America.
