CLT Basics. Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a large-scale, prefabricated, solid engineered wood panel. Lightweight yet very strong, with superior acoustic, fire, seismic, and thermal performance, CLT is also fast and easy to install, generating almost no waste onsite.LT also offers design flexibility and low environmental impacts. For these reasons, cross-laminated timber is proving to be a highly advantageous alternative to conventional materials like concrete, masonry, or steel, especially in multi-family and commercial construction.
2x Lumber. Sometimes called âsticksâ or âstudsâ by contractors, 2x lumber (pronounced âtwo-byâ) is cheap, strong, and perfect for simple wood projects. Most 2x lumber youâll find at a home center comes from either spruce, pine, or fir trees, depending on which type of wood the supplier has at the time.ost stores carry 1x pine boards in two different gradesâ#2â and âselect.â Itâs easy to spot the differenceâ#2 boards are riddled with knots and holes, while select boards are clean and free of defects. Select boards are also 3-4 times the price.
