WHAT IS
MASS TIMBER?
Mass timber uses state-of-the-art technology to glue, nail or dowel wood products together in layers. The results are large structural panels, posts and beams. These exceptionally strong and versatile products are known as mass timber.

CARBON SEQUESTERING
Wooden buildings store carbon in their structure, preventing it from being absorbed into the atmosphere
SUSTAINABLY SOURCED
Modern forestry practices ensure a continuous cycle of growing, harvesting and replanting timber, planting two saplings for each tree harvested, to ensure forest growth
STRUCTURALLY STRONG
Solid timber comprises multiple solid, load-bearing wood panels bonded together to ensure extraordinary strength and stability even in the event of an earthquake or strong winds
FIRE RESISTANT
Solid timber buildings are fire tested and classified to ensure safety and meet building code requirements
WHAT IS
A MASS TIMBER
CONSTRUCTION?
A Mass Timber construction is built using a category of engineered wood products typically consisting of large solid wood panels, columns or beams for the construction of load-bearing walls, floors and roofs. Mass Timber is designed for high strength levels such as concrete and steel, but is noticeably lighter. Mass Timber can integrate light-frame and hybrid options and is an environmentally friendly substitute for carbon-intensive building materials and systems.
