• Ongoing surge of construction according to trend: As a result of increasing awareness about the product's advantages, for instance, design flexibility, fire resistance, greater thermal performance, cost efficiency, and some others, cross laminated timber has become increasingly popular in construction applications. Also, by replacing materials like steel or concrete with CLT, building and construction are becoming more and more energy-efficient, with a correspondingly less environmental impact. Businesses have also come to see the value of implementing sustainable or green practices.
