Simpson Strong-Tie have now released a dedicated range of fasteners and connectors for CLT and Engineered wood mass timber structures. 

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is growing in popularity as a sustainable and beautiful construction material, favoured by Engineers and Architects for its elegance, sustainability and its cosmetic appearance. Practical too, CLT can be used for walls, floors and ceilings and is well suited to offsite assembly.

Simpson Stong-Tie products are purpose designed, made with the load and design requirements of these building materials specifically in mind. Thought has also been given to the install requirements with fast low torque install designs for these fasteners, and options for collated systems that make connectors quicker to install on site. Download the CLT Catalogue to learn more and view the full CLT Product Range.

CLT has various benefits making it an attractive building material. These benefits include:

• 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
• Prefabrication — floors or walls made from CLT can be fully manufactured before reaching the construction site, which decreases lead times and could potentially lower overall construction costs
