With the sustainable building industry is running forward at a breakneck speed, proposing skyscrapers built out of timber, constructing a multiple-storeyed wooden house is a definite no-brainer!
There was a time when the thought of commercial and multi-storey construction only inspired the images of steel, brick, and concrete. But we forget that wood has been man’s oldest building material since he emerged from the caves!
Cross Laminated Timber, CLT, an engineered wood product with multiple layers of lumber glued together, is a stronger, durable, and sustainable alternative to construct high-rise, multi-storey buildings with wood.
So, yes, it’s definitely possible to build wooden houses with multiple floors that are sturdy, long-lasting, and gentle on the environment, even in tropical conditions.
