If you’re looking for durable access solutions that are robust, lightweight, cost-effective and offer more strength than traditional access solutions, Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) mats are the answer! Read on to learn more about CLT mats below!
What Is CLT?
Unlike traditional bolted mats, Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) mats are built using a strong and environmentally safe adhesive that bonds layers of wood together at right angles to create a strong and resilient solid wood panel. Each CLT panel is constructed using at least 3 layers of lumber boards laid perpendicular and bonded together using a structural adhesive to form a solid and rectangular wood panel. They are often used for temporary access roads, right of ways, work pads, staging areas and construction projects that require strong, lightweight and cost-effective matting solutions.
Benefits of CLT Mats
CLT mats are designed to outperform traditional bolted mats in various ways. Not only are they built using sustainable forest practices, but they are also engineered to be lighter, stronger, safer, faster, longer lasting and most importantly more cost-effective than traditional bolted mats. GFI Solutions is proud to be Canada’s leading supplier of CLT access mats that can withstand the demands of your worksite.
