Material being manufactured at site near Glasgow

The first ever UK manufactured cross-laminated timber is set to be at Waugh Thistleton’s V&A pavilion.

The product, which is being produced by Construction Scotland Innovation Centre near Glasgow, will be used in a 9m tall pavilion the architect is designing for the V&A’s new Sackler courtyard beside Exhibition Road as part of next month’s London Design Festival.

Most of the CLT products used in the UK are currently trucked in from Austria.
