Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is a cutting-edge engineered wood product that's transforming how we build everything from homes to high-rise buildings. Think of it as super plywood on steroids—but made from solid lumber and designed for serious structural performance.
What Is CLT?
CLT is made by stacking layers of kiln-dried lumber boards perpendicularly (each layer rotated 90° from the previous) and bonding them with structural adhesives. This cross-lamination gives the panel strength in both directions, making it incredibly rigid and stable.
Typically made with 3, 5, or 7 layers.
Manufactured in large panels—up to 60 feet long and 10 feet wide.
Cut to precise dimensions using CNC machines, including openings for doors and windows.
Why CLT Is a Game-Changer?
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Strong enough for multi-story buildings, yet lighter than concrete or steel.
Fast Installation： Prefabricated panels reduce on-site labor and waste.
Thermal & Acoustic Performance: Excellent insulation and soundproofing properties.
Fire & Seismic. Resistance: Performs well under fire and earthquake conditions.
Sustainability: Made from renewable wood, with a lower carbon footprint than traditional materials.
Common Uses:
-Walls, floors, and roofs in residential and commercial buildings.
-Long-span structures like auditoriums and sports halls.
-Hybrid systems with glulam beams and CLT panels.
-Modular and prefabricated construction.
CLT is often compared to glulam, but here's the key difference: glulam laminates run in the same direction, while CLT layers are cross-oriented, giving it multi-directional strength. It's not just a material—it's a movement toward greener, faster, and smarter construction.

As global environmental awareness increases, the construction industry is paying more attention to using sustainable materials to reduce carbon emissions. CLT, made from natural wood, has a lower energy consumption in production compared to traditional materials like steel and concrete. Wood absorbs a significant amount of carbon dioxide during its growth through photosynthesis, making CLT not only a low-carbon material but also a product that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At Nantong Wellhouse Architectural Technology Co., Ltd., we strive to provide eco-friendly and sustainable building materials, and CLT is an important innovation in our product lineup.
In addition to reducing the overall weight of buildings, CLT panels, due to their high degree of prefabrication, significantly shorten construction periods. Traditional concrete structures require on-site pouring and curing, which takes considerable time and generates a large amount of waste. In contrast, CLT panels are pre-fabricated in factories and only need to be assembled on-site, reducing both construction time and labor intensity, leading to lower overall building costs.
The cross-laminated structure of CLT not only provides exceptional load-bearing capacity but also gives it remarkable seismic performance. Compared to traditional concrete or steel structures, CLT can better distribute stresses during extreme conditions, such as earthquakes, enhancing the overall stability of the building. This makes CLT particularly suitable for regions with high seismic activity.
