Cross Laminated Timber or CLT is an engineered wood product fabricated by bonding solid-sawn timber together in transverse and longitudinal layers with structural adhesives to produce thick timber panels.
The result is a product that when compared with steel and concrete, provides similar strength & stiffness, improved fire performance, health and economic benefits and an abundance of sustainability benefits.
Timber is a beautiful, natural and 100% renewable resource. Substituting 1m³ of timber for traditional block and concrete during construction saves over 3 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. This substantial carbon off-set together with unparalleled renewability, low embodied energy and minimal operational energy make CLT the environmentally preferable choice.
Monterey Kangaroo Point is replacing 1,170m³ of traditional concrete and blockwork for Australian timber.
