Industrial CLT Panels

Industrial CLT Panels are a specific grade of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) designed primarily for structural use in industrial or commercial buildings, where surface appearance is not a priority. These panels deliver all the strength and performance of CLT but with a more utilitarian finish.

 What Defines Industrial CLT Panels?
Surface Quality: Rated as B/C or C class under EN 13017-1 standards—planed and smoothed, but not suitable for visible surfaces in residential or architectural applications.
Use Case: Ideal for load-bearing walls, floors, and roofs in warehouses, factories, and utility buildings.
Cost Efficiency: More affordable than visual-grade CLT due to reduced finishing requirements.
Performance: Offers excellent fire resistance, thermal insulation, and acoustic control, just like higher-grade CLT panels.

Technical Highlights:
Layer Count: Typically 3, 5, or 7 layers of cross-laminated timber
Panel Size: Can be manufactured in large formats—up to 60 ft long and 10 ft wide
Load Capacity: Suitable for heavy-duty structural applications
Fire Safety: Meets building codes with proven fire resistance performance
Thermal Properties: Good insulation due to wood's low thermal conductivity

Common Applications:
-Industrial warehouses
-Agricultural buildings
-Utility structures
-Modular construction
-Hidden structural layers in commercial buildings

Industrial CLT panels are all about strength, speed, and efficiency. They're the backbone of mass timber construction when aesthetics take a back seat to performance. If you're planning a project and want to balance cost with structural integrity, these panels are a smart choice.
