Being a cost-effective, carbon-efficient, durable, and sustainable building option, mass timber construction has already had a profound impact on residential and non-residential applications in Europe. Likewise, it has been reaching new heights in Canada and is recently gaining momentum in the United States. Envisioned as a substitute for the traditional building materials of concrete, masonry, and steel, all forestry stakeholders have reason to be excited about these new timber products. The most widespread mass timber product is cross-laminated timber (CLT), which is currently on a rapid upward trajectory in North America.  \nCross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Basics  \n§ CLT is an innovative secondary wood product and a remarkable alternative to traditional building materials.  \n§ The CLT concept is similar to plywood except for the absence of veneer layers.  \n§ CLT panels consist of an odd number of layers (typically three to nine) of dimensional lumber stacked perpendicular to the adjacent layers and then glued together to form structural panels (Figure 1) .  \n§ CLT contains only two materials: lumber and adhesive.  \n§ Currently, CLT in the United States is made from softwoods. Some initiatives are currently exploring the use of hardwoods.  \nFigure 1. Cross laminated timber assembly.  \nOver the last 30 years, CLT has been used for a wide range of applications in Europe and Australia, including single and multi-family residential buildings, schools, and office buildings. CLT panels are manufactured with lengths up to 60 feet and widths up to 10 feet. These panels are used in structural walls, ceilings and roofs, and in combination with other construction materials. CLT panels are typically prefabricated with pre-cut openings for doors, windows, and stairs.  \nWhy Mass Timber Products?  \nThere are several benefits associated with mass timber products. These benefits range from environmental to social, which are listed in Table 1.  \nTable 1. Benefits of mass timber products  \n\n| Benefits of Mass Timber Products |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Environmental | Low-carbon alternative to steel and concrete | Carbon sequestration | Renewable source with promising end of life prospective |\n| Economic | Potential of local economic benefits | Reduced construction time and financing cost | Reduced labor requirements |\n| Construction | Suitable for modular design concepts | High compatibility with traditional and innovative construction systems | High degree of pre-manufacturing for on-site assembly |\n| Well-being | Wood is perceived to be healthy | Appealing and innovative | Compliance with emission goals |\n\nCross laminated timber (CLT) Source: StructureCraft  \nNail laminated timber (NLT) Source: StructureCraft  \nGlue laminated timber (GLT) Source: StructureCraft  \nDowel laminated timber (DLT) Source: StructureCraft  \nMass plywood panel (MPP) Source: Frereslumber  \nOther Types of Mass Timber Products  \nWhile CLT is the most common and widely accepted product, several types of mass timber products are available for architects, designers, and builders for use in residential and non-residential construction. The various types of mass timber products include (Think Wood, 2017):  \n§ Nail laminated timber (NLT): Similar to CLT, NLT panels are created from dimension lumber stacked on edge, but instead of glue, it is fastened with nails or screws to create a larger structural panel. Due to its variety of textured appearances as a substitute for concrete slabs and steel decking, NLT is used in flooring, decking, roofing and walls, and even in elevator and stair shafts in mid-rise wood-frame buildings.  \n§ Glue laminated timber (GLT or Glulam): Glulam consists of individual dimension lumber stacked in parallel layers and then bonded ","cbCaisczDMVkBgvA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisczDMVkBgvA","pdf",800673,"English","# Mass Timber Products - Innovative Wood-Based Building Materials\n## Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) Basics\n## Why Mass Timber Products?\n## Other Types of Mass Timber Products\n## Current Market Status and Future Prospects","[{\"question\":\"What are mass timber products and what makes them attractive for construction?\",\"answer\":\"Mass timber products are wood-based engineered construction materials.
