Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT): Manufacturing, Fire Performance and Structural Uses

U.S. Log & Timber’s technical guide explains how CLT panels are made from cross-oriented lumber layers, how CLT performs in fire and seismic conditions, and where CLT panels are used in floors, roofs, walls and multi-story construction. It covers CLT standards, panel layups, moisture, acoustic performance, carbon accounting and notable CLT projects.

CLT is not the same product as USLT’s residential wall system. Home buyers researching USLT home systems should continue to our Laminated Log Systems page.
