CLT Panels
CLT Panels (Cross-Laminated Timber Panels) are advanced building materials made from layers of wood pressed together to create strong, lightweight construction panels. Think of them like giant plywood sheets, but much stronger and suitable for building entire buildings. They're becoming very popular in modern construction because they're environmentally friendly, faster to install than traditional materials, and can be used to build everything from houses to large commercial buildings. This type of construction is part of the broader "mass timber" or "engineered wood" family of building materials.
