With a light environmental footprint, high strength, quick installation times and reduced waste, cross laminated timber (CLT) has long been heralded as a wonder material. Despite these benefits, the uptake of CLT has been dogged by challenges. Delving into the key considerations including fire safety, cost and value, visual aspects, planning, feasibility and engineering, this book is an essential companion to designing and delivering exemplar CLT buildings. Abundantly illustrated with images and in-depth case studies from around the world, it will help the entire project team - whether design team, constructor or clients - to better understand and build using a truly modern method of construction.
