The results are large structural panels, posts and beams. These exceptionally strong and versatile products are known as mass timber.  \nCLT  \nDLT  \nGLULAM  \nCROSS-LAMINATED TIMBER (CLT)  \nCLT is made by layering dimension lumber at 90 degree angles onto one another. Each layer is glued together to form structural panels with high dimensional stability.  \nDOWEL-LAMINATED TIMBER (DLT)  \nDLT is created by stacking dimension lumber on its edge or cross-laminating, friction- t together with hardwood dowels. DLT is the only all-wood mass timber product made without metal fasteners or adhesives.  \nGLUE-LAMINATED TIMBER (GLULAM)  \nGlulam is composed of dimension lumber bonded together with durable, moistureresistant adhesives. The grain of all laminations runs parallel with the length of the member.  \nNAIL-LAMINATED TIMBER (NLT)  \nNLT is created by stacking dimension lumber on its edge and fastening it together with nails or screws. It can be site built or fabricated in panels off-site.  \nLSL  \nLAMINATED VENEER LUMBER (LVL)  \nLVL is made of veneers glued together so that the grain of each veneer is parallel to the length.  \nPSL  \nKEY  \nADVANTAGES  \n• STRONG: Mass timber can be used to supplement or replace steel or concrete as a structural solution  \n• SUSTAINABLE: B.C.’s forests are sustainably managed so we can rely on timber supply for generations  \n• SAFE: Mass timber building systems are proven to meet or exceed code requirements  \nMASS PLYWOOD PANEL (MPP)  \nMPP consists of several layers of wood veneer glued and pressed together, creating large wood platforms, beams and columns.  \nInformation adapted from:  \nAPA – The Engineered WoodAssociation  \nIf the primary load-bearing structure is made of either solid or engineered wood, it’s a mass timber building. Mass timber products like fabricated panels, columns and beams can complement light and heavy timber framing options.  \nFind B.C. mass timber products  \nSearch the Wood [Supplier Directory suppliers.naturallywood.com](Supplier Directory suppliers.naturallywood.com).","cbCainawuFcvVwk2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainawuFcvVwk2","pdf",2323290,"English","# Key Mass Timber Types\n## CLT\n## DLT\n## Glulam\n## NLT\n## LVL\n## LSL and Other Products\n## Mass Plywood Panel (MPP)\n# Key Advantages","[{\"question\":\"What is mass timber and how is it made?\",\"answer\":\"Mass timber uses engineered methods to join wood products into layered structural components, producing large panels, posts, and beams.\"},{\"question\":\"What is CLT and how does it differ from other types?\",\"answer\":\"CLT is made by layering dimension lumber at 90-degree angles and gluing the layers into stable structural panels.\"},{\"question\":\"What advantages does mass timber offer for buildings?\",\"answer\":\"Mass timber can provide strong structural performance, supports sustainable timber supply, and uses building systems proven to meet or exceed code requirements.\"}]","What Is Mass Timber - Infographic Overview | PDF",1789431422]
