Mass Timber
Mass Timber is defined as solid panels of wood engineered for strength through laminations of different layers. The panels vary in size but can range upwards of 64 by 8 feet (20m x 2.4m) and, in the case of CLT, can be of any thickness from a few inches to 16 inches or more[1]
Mass timber construction uses large prefabricated wood members for wall, floor and roof construction. Some of these products include glue-laminated timber (glulam), cross-laminated timber (CLT) and nail-laminated lumber (NLT).[2]
The term Mass Timber was popularized by architect and author Michael Green, founder of Michael Green Architecture and one of the most prominent champions of timber construction.[3]
