Cross-laminated timber (CLT) (a sub-category of engineered wood) is a wood panel product made from gluing together layers of solid-sawn lumber, i.e., lumber cut from a single log. Each layer of boards is usually oriented perpendicular to adjacent layers and glued on the wide faces of each board, usually in a symmetric way so that the outer layers have the same orientation. An odd number of layers is most common, but there are configurations with even numbers as well (which are then arranged to give a symmetric configuration). Regular timber is an anisotropic material, meaning that the physical properties change depending on the direction at which the force is applied. By gluing layers of wood at right angles, the panel is able to achieve better structural rigidity in both directions. It is similar to plywood but with distinctively thicker laminations (or lamellae).
CLT is distinct from glued laminated timber (known as glulam), which is a product with all laminations orientated in the same way.

Advantages:
CLT has some advantages as a building material, including:
Design flexibility - CLT has many applications. It can be used in walls, roofs or ceilings. The thickness of the panels can easily be increased by adding more layers and the length of the panels can be increased by joining panels together.
Eco-friendly - CLT is a renewable, green and sustainable material,since it is made out of wood. It can sequester carbon, but differences in forest management practices translate into variations in the amount of carbon sequestered.
Prefabrication - Floors or walls made from CLT can be fully manufactured before reaching the job site, which decreases lead times and could potentially lower overall construction costs.
Thermal insulation - Being made out of multiple layers of wood, the thermal insulation of CLT can be high depending on the thickness of the panel.
Light weight - Foundations do not need to be as large and the machinery required on-site are smaller than those needed to lift heavier buildings materials.These aspects also provide the additional capacity to erect CLT buildings on sites that might otherwise be incapable of supporting heavier projects, and eases infilling projects where construction is especially tight or difficult to access due to the preexisting buildings around the site.
Uses of CLT:
Pavilions
High-rise buildings
Bridges
Parking structures
Modular construction
