Unleashing Sustainable Construction with Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

In the rapidly evolving landscape of architecture and construction, where sustainability is paramount, Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) has emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional concrete and steel. Architects, engineers, and developers today prioritize not only aesthetics and structural integrity but also reduced emissions and optimized timelines. TranDuc proudly introduces CLT “Made in Vietnam – Global Quality,” partnering with you from design conception to the realization of green building projects

What is CLT?

CLT is an engineered wood panel made from multiple layers of kiln-dried lumber, with each layer oriented at a 90-degree angle to the adjacent layers and bonded with structural adhesives. This cross-lamination creates a two-way structural panel with exceptional stiffness and stability.

Compared to concrete, CLT is approximately 20% of the equivalent weight, resulting in reduced foundation loads and transportation costs. The cross-layered structure minimizes warping and shrinkage while offering the natural warmth and beauty of wood, seamlessly integrating with various modern architectural styles.

CLT Applications in Building Design

Benefits for Projects

CLT enables developers and contractors to significantly shorten construction schedules due to off-site prefabrication and rapid on-site assembly. Its lightweight nature reduces foundation requirements, leading to cost savings in structural elements and logistics. Furthermore, CLT helps reduce CO₂ emissions by 20–25% compared to traditional concrete solutions, contributing to achieving green building certifications like LEED or EDGE and meeting increasingly stringent ESG criteria.
