XLam CLT Panel

This Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) provides a detailed account of environmental footprint for XLam Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). XLam CLT is a primary monolithic structural building material that allows the construction sector to design and assemble buildings that are more sustainable of a better quality faster.

XLam manufacturers a range of panel thicknesses from plantation radiata pine, either fully treated or untreated, to both structural and visual grades. As a monolithic structural building material XLam CLT is used extensively in both residential and commercial construction for floors, walls, roofs, stairs and landings, lift cores and shear walls.

As a full mass timber structure XLam CLT is ideally suited to honeycomb structures such student accommodation, hotels, apartments, age care facilities and office buildings. In addition it is ideally suited to ‘kit of parts’ Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA) build typologies such as Social Housing and Education Facilities.

The EPD update, in June 2023, follows XLam decision to introduce in January 2022 use of 100% renewable energy to manufacture products in its Wodonga facility in Victoria, Australia. The renewable energy is provided by GreenPower Australia. XLam, by taking this action, reduced its production carbon footprint (Global Warming Potential (fossil)) by 45% from 447 kg CO2e to 248 kg CO2e per 1 m3 of the product.
