Funny that this topic is coming up, we're currently in the execution of building a house made of this material. We did choose the CLT because of the spruce interior look. But not all walls are like that. Most part will be covered by clay plaster. This should also help with soundproofing. As for the glue. We asked the producer and they use a glue which has no negative side effect when finished hardening but is not that nice to breath while being in production. Apparently there are no better glues. Another option would be to use only wood, but this is not CLT, it has another name, but the same result. The difference is that the interior has to be covered by something because the wall looks rough. And it costs a little more. Termites are no problem in Europe and leaking water is a problem in every type of house, but it won't go undetected for long. As we live in areas with houses made of wood around 300 to 500 years ago and those houses still standing and being ok, I plan our home to be here for the same amount of time :)
