QUOTES
- "The beauty of cross-laminated timber is that you are putting the layers in long ways, and then you put another layer in this way, so it's not shrinking in the same direction."
- “It's really important to get that moisture content as close to the end installation point as possible. But that's also a little bit tricky, too. And I think it's a place that we are learning more about as an industry, both in the building industry, construction, and design.”
