Mass timber products leverage the natural beauty and structural integrity of wood to produce remarkable load-bearing components such as panels, posts and beams. Mass timber’s strength comes from combining layers of wood with adhesive or mechanical fasteners, resulting in a superior alternative to traditional options like structural steel and concrete.
Hundreds of buildings across North America have benefited from using mass timber, from retail stores and office buildings to condominiums and apartment buildings.
As a building owner, architect or engineer, when you build with mass timber, you go above and beyond for our environment by maximizing your sustainability and minimizing your carbon footprint.
Mass timber is significantly lighter than steel and concrete, resulting in high strength-to-weight ratios that can reduce your structure’s foundation size and overall cost.
With a low carbon footprint and made from a renewable resource, mass timber is the best way to reduce your project’s environmental impact.
Mass timber is an attractive and timeless solution that exudes warmth and comfort today, tomorrow and generations from now.
Mass timber products are often manufactured offsite, reducing construction completion time by up to 25% and construction traffic by up to 90%.
NLT is made by stacking lumber on its edge and fastened with nails or screws.
CLT involves gluing together layers of lumber, each layer oriented at right angles to the one before it.
DLT is made by stacking lumber on its edge and fastened with wood dowels.
Glulam is made by gluing together multiple lengths of lumber.
LSL is created by gluing together strands of wood with grains running along the length of lumber.
LVL is made by gluing together thin slices of wood with grains in the same direction.
PSL is engineered by gluing together parallel strands of wood.
MPP is made by gluing together thin slices of wood in alternating grain directions.
