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 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.
CLT is more than just a material – it’s a green building solution empowering architects, engineers, and developers to optimize timelines, save costs, and achieve sustainability goals. With Vietnam’s first Net Zero factory boasting a 12,000 m³/year capacity, TranDuc is committed to being your trusted partner from initial design concepts to completed green buildings.
