Timber Age is the first producer of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) in the Southwest. CLT is made by gluing wooden boards together in alternating layers at right angles to one another. Basically, it’s a little like the Jenga game with glue (water based and non-toxic, of course)!  Gluing the boards together creates a wall, floor or ceiling that is stiffer, straighter, and more energy efficient than framed steel and concrete framing systems.

Sustainability: Wood and wood products such as CLT produce less greenhouse gasses, require smaller amounts of water, energy and fossil fuels than both concrete and steel. CLT has a lower embodied energy per weight than many other building materials and 'negative' carbon footprint, as wood sequesters carbon over its lifetime. Timber Age Systems offers these additional CLT building advantages: Radical localism: timber comes from within 100 miles; Use of beetle killed and forest fire mitigation lumber; Use of "unusable" lumber to sequester carbon instead of adding more carbon to the air from burning; 40% faster assembly; 25% less expensive; Net-zero ready.
