My favorite was "CLT is 5 times lighter that reinforced concrete." ...That is because it is wood. Please stop talking about thick plywood like it is carbon fib

- tinco 9y agoWhoever has been marketing CLT the past couple of years has done a really good job, I'm absolutely fascinated by the stuff. Last week I spent 15 minutes watching a CLT building be erected. It looked so simple I wonder if you even need to be a proper architect to design a simple 3 story house.
- zaarn 9y agoMy uncle loves CLT, built three houses with it, living in one of them at the moment. He's definitely not an architect (though he has some experience in construction by now) They are rather simple, in the last one it was literally a case of "get the walls delivered, put in second floor and then a roof on top" and it was done. Also very energy efficient houses.
- syntaxing 9y agoDo you know any good sites that show the best practices for CLT and a good vendor? I've been thinking about building a shed out of CLT to try it out rather than a standard stud and plywood frame.
- amalag 9y agoI am just hearing about this now. But they have already built a 10 story building with this and are looking to building a 30 story building. Wow.
