Forget clunky metal and flimsy plywood, there’s something new in the town: cross-laminated timber mats. These unique and innovative mats are shaking up the construction industry with their surprising versatility, sustainability and strength. So, buckle up because we are going to dive into the world of cross-laminated mats and the reasons surrounding the future of temporary access and ground protection. 

What Is Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)?

Cross-laminated timber, the latest eco-friendly superhero is on the way. Unlike their outdated counterparts, these sustainable mats skip the clunky bolts and depend on a strong and environmentally friendly adhesive. This magic glue holds the layers of lumber together at right angles, creating a solid panel of wood which appears to be sturdy as well as significantly lightweight.

Consider these mats as the multitaskers that are ready to tackle temporary access roads, and work platforms, and even protect delicate grounds. Built with a minimum of 3 layers of lumber, each laid perpendicularly and bonded together to provide maximum strength. Made from fast-growing renewable timber, these mats are the champions of sustainability. 

Hey, don’t underestimate this innovative wonder! 

Cross-laminated timber mats are engineered wood panels that act as the prime face of the construction industry.  Let’s unleash the many good reasons why it is championing the trending construction domain.
