Mass timber, an advanced construction material, includes engineered wood products like cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glued-laminated timber (glulam). Known for their strength and lightweight characteristics, mass timber components such as large panels, beams, and columns are predominantly pre-manufactured for efficient, load-bearing construction. This material serves as a sustainable alternative to concrete and steel, offering a lighter carbon footprint and renewable qualities.

Mass Timber

Utilizing mass timber leads to substantial carbon emission savings. For instance, the wood in a 20-story building can absorb and store about 3,150 tons of carbon. This represents a significant reduction in carbon emissions compared to traditional construction materials. The production process of mass timber itself also generates lower carbon emissions, adding to its environmental appeal.

Environmental Impact

Mass timber's lighter weight necessitates smaller foundation requirements, translating to quicker construction times and potential cost savings. Its natural flexibility allows for easy on-site modifications, catering to diverse design needs. The prefabrication and quick assembly further enhance construction efficiency.

Efficiency and Flexibility

Mass timber offers a novel solution in utilizing lower-quality wood, including timber affected by natural disturbances. This approach turns potential waste into valuable, eco-friendly building materials, helping manage forest health and promoting sustainability.
