Cross Laminated Timber in the International Context and in Brazil: Most Relevant Aspects

Article Preview

Abstract:

Timber is still being rediscovered as building material of excellence in Brazil, and especially as one of the most environmentally friendly one. In the scenario of the production of sustainable buildings, the construction system that uses wood panels - widely used in Europe, USA and Canada - called Glued Laminated Timber (GLULAM) and Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), occupies a prominent place, especially by the possibility of using wood from planted forests. This work aims to provide an overview of what is being produced in Europe and in Brazil.
