Technical Description:

The seven-ply CLT layup resource introduces how cross-laminated timber panels are assembled before pressing. Seven layers of prepared timber are stacked with adjacent layers generally running at right angles. Adhesive between the layers bonds the assembly when the press holds the timber together during curing. Layup establishes the panel arrangement, while pressing brings the bonding surfaces into contact. The resulting panel can be used as a blank for further machining into building components. Layer thickness, timber grade, adhesive and pressing conditions depend on the specified product and production process.
