Laminated strand is certainly under the heading of mass timber, but I’m referring more to cross laminated timber (CLT). It still uses resin, but with much more wood it doesn’t suffer from the sort of rot and de-laminating problems OSB has, but it’s still highly engineered and highly precise like LSL.
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) has become common in North America for beams and joists. CLT uses even larger components and is even more flexible. It’s just starting to be used but you can build everything from a house to 20 storey buildings.
- robbiep 3y agoI know nothing about this, but do you know what the environmental/recyclable potential of the resins are?
