We manufacture several standard mass timber products (glulam, CLT) as well as value-added CLT-based structural components (rib panels and hollow-core CLT panels). Even though we are occupied with ‘start-up’ in St. Thomas, we still have our eyes on the future of our industry. Once our St. Thomas line is operating, our team in Ripon will be able to shift more of their time from production to research and development.
Our ongoing commitment to innovation has already led us to develop cross laminated insulated panels (called CLIPs), a product that we continue to refine for various applications including timber towers. CLIPs offer a high-performance, prefabricated building envelope solution that is compatible with wood, steel or concrete structural frames. Wood may be changing the way we build, but it can’t (and shouldn’t) replace other materials in every application. Many of our most innovative buildings are hybrid solutions that maximize the strengths of all the materials in the construction toolbox.
Good day Patrick
I saw the article today on the firehall – well done.
How soon before your in production?
We have an in house project for three homes around Bathurst and Bloor and are definitely thinking timber Frame construction , but without a CLT plant in province ( so I thought) we were going to use SIPS.
Maybe that will change now.
Hello Yuill! Thank you for the comment. We are on track to be in production by the end of the year.
