Development of a prototype crosslaminated timber panel made from local timber to improve the construction of buildings in terms of sustainability
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The project assessed the technical and economic feasibility of manufacturing cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels in Catalonia using local timber. A prototype was created, evaluating wood processing, product quality, and market potential. Results indicated strong material performance but challenges in cost and availability of raw materials. Further research is suggested to enhance processing yields and competitiveness. Overall, CLT production in Catalonia is technologically feasible, with potential for growth in demand.
