1 Nail Laminated Timber NAIL LAMINATED TIMBER, NLT, is a mass timber panel system and is used for floor, wall, and roof structure structural options. It is a good alternative to concrete slabs and steel decking in commercial and residential buildings. In addition to the structural strength, the NLT panel systems offer cosmetic value to the structural materials. Mass timber panels can also be used as the wall enclosure material for elevator and stair shafts. NLT is manufactured by stacking 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, 2x10, 2x12 or 2x14 dimensional lumber on edge and connecting them together with nails, screws or other fasteners. Plywood sheathing and or concrete top coatings are often added to the top side of the panel for strength or subsequent finishing. NLT components can be butt jointed, however, Finger Jointed (FJ) Lumber produces a more structurally sound product

2 WHY NLT? PREFABRICATION: Panels are fabricated in a controlled environment ensuring the following criteria is adhered to: STRUCTURE: Adherence to all design specifications and quality standards. Electrical and Water line penetrations can be easily integrated into the panels during fabrication. The NLT panels can be produced in high volumes at reduced cycle times. In most cases, factory applied final finishes, can be accommodated. NLT Panels are significantly lighter than their steel and or concrete counterparts. The net impact of this is the reduction in footing and foundation volume, resulting in lower costs. Panels can be fabricated in thicknesses ranging from 4 inches to as much as 14 inches. Lengths can be as long as 60 feet using Mid-Columbia s Finger Jointed (FJ) technology. Panel width is limited to the width of the transportation methodology (10 max is typical). SITE: Panelization allows for a significant reduction in erection time. The panels are moved into place and connected to the previously erected support structure. Timber panels are easily modified on site if necessary. COSTS: In most applications, Mass timber buildings are now competitive with steel and concrete on a $/FT 2 basis. Significant labor savings, when compared to on-site NLT fabrication. SUSTAINABILITY: LEED FSC and regional material credits are available

3 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS: ROOF AND FLOOR PANELS: Roof and Floor panels are manufactured by placing selected dimensional lumber on edge and then connecting the pieces together with nails or other approved connectors. FLAT SOFFIT PANELS: Soffit panels are fabricated in a similar fashion to that used to produce the Roof and Floor units. Due to their inherent durability, they can be used both indoors and outdoors. WALL PANELS: NLT Wall Panels are fabricated in the same manner as floor and roof panels. Indoor wall panels can be finished in various configurations depending on the end use. STRUCTURAL BEARING WALLS: NLT panels can be used as structural bearing or shear walls. Due to the panel configuration, they meet are fire rating of 2 hours for elevator shafts and stair wells. The prefabricated panels provide the user with a cost effective alternative to concrete and steel fabrication. UTILITIES/SERVICE INCORPORATION: Utility runs for, electrical and plumbing systems, can be integrated into the panels. The required routes, are pre-fabricated into the panels and are subsequently filled in with cover boards following installation

4 PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS: FIRE PROTECTION: Due to the mass of the NLT panels, most all fire codes can be met. Classified as heavy timber, NLT is able to achieve fire resistance ratings of up to 2 hours. ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE: The use of wood does not meet some sound requirements. As such, enhanced sound alternatives are often needed for floor panels. Concrete toppings and or acoustical mats are often used to ensure requirements are met. COMPLIANCE: NLT is sanctioned by building codes in both Canada and the USA. NLT qualifies as Heavy Timber as long as it conforms to nailing specifications and the depth is at least 2 1/2" for a roof and 3 1/2" for a floor SURFACE TREATMENTS: NLT panels are compatible with a wide variety of surface finishes
