Mass timber, an emerging technology in sustainable construction, is transforming climate-conscious design. It includes engineered wood products like cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glulam. These are made by bonding smaller pieces of wood together resulting in high-strength, durable structural elements. Along with its exceptional performance, mass timber stands out for its ability to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making it a highly sustainable choice.

Yet, as its popularity grows, so do the misconceptions surrounding its capabilities, which could lead to incorrect applications. Let’s look at some of these myths and debunk them!
