Home / Products / Cross laminated Timber

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.

1. What is Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)?

Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) is an advanced construction material made by bonding multiple layers of wood boards in alternating directions. This cross-lamination structure provides exceptional strength and stability, making CLT an ideal material in the construction industry. The wood grain of each layer is oriented perpendicular to the adjacent layers, greatly enhancing the tensile, compressive, and bending strength of the material, giving it load-bearing capabilities similar to steel and concrete, yet with the added benefits of being lightweight and environmentally friendly.

Nantong Wellhouse Architectural Technology Co., Ltd. is dedicated to advancing the use of CLT technology, producing and supplying high-quality CLT materials with cutting-edge technology and design concepts. Our company uses modern wood processing techniques to provide sustainable, high-performance CLT products widely used in residential, commercial, and public facility projects.

Typically, CLT panels consist of three to five layers of wood boards that are glued together under high pressure. The wood used in CLT production is carefully selected from species such as pine, spruce, and fir, which are processed through advanced techniques to ensure product stability and performance. At Nantong Wellhouse Architectural Technology Co., Ltd., we focus on wood selection and refining our manufacturing process to ensure each CLT panel meets industry standards and exhibits outstanding mechanical properties and eco-friendly features.

The cross-laminated structure not only gives CLT remarkable strength but also provides excellent thermal insulation and acoustic properties, making it an ideal choice for modern buildings. In today’s world, where sustainability and environmental concerns are increasingly critical, CLT is becoming one of the most sought-after green building materials.
