Thin CLT at Scale: Domestic Manufacturing for Growing Mass Timber Demand

As demand for mass timber and architectural wood systems continues to accelerate, the industry needs a domestic Thin CLT manufacturer capable of delivering commercial-scale production without compromising quality, customization, or lead times. TorZo Surfaces was built to meet that demand.

As the only U.S. manufacturer of Thin CLT, TorZo Surfaces provides architects, designers, builders, and contractors with a dependable domestic source for engineered wood products that combine performance, efficiency, and the visual impact of mass timber. Domestic manufacturing allows us to reduce lead times, avoid many of the delays associated with non-U.S. based production and shipping, and provide more reliable support throughout the construction process. With a production capacity exceeding 320,000 square feet annually, TorZo Surfaces is equipped to support everything from custom feature applications to large-scale commercial projects with consistency and efficiency.

Thin CLT is a 3-ply cross-laminated wood panel engineered to bring the look and feel of mass timber into both interior and exterior applications while supporting biophilic design through the warmth and natural character of real wood. Available in a variety of U.S. species—including Douglas Fir (DF), Southern Yellow Pine (SYP), and Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF)—Thin CLT combines the appearance of structural CLT with the efficiency and flexibility of a lightweight engineered wood product.

Designed for applications such as feature walls, beam wraps, access panels, exterior cladding, ceilings, and architectural detailing, Thin CLT delivers the strength, stability, and structural integrity expected from engineered wood products without the material intensity, bulk, or weight of traditional mass timber panels. The result is a more adaptable wood solution that allows architects and builders to achieve the aesthetic of mass timber in spaces where traditional structural CLT may not be needed.

Performance and versatility are what set Thin CLT apart. Panels can be manufactured in sizes up to 4’x12’, helping reduce seams, speed up installation timelines, minimize labor on site, and create cleaner, more continuous finished surfaces across large-scale applications. Larger panel formats not only improve installation efficiency, but also enhance the overall visual impact of the finished space.

At TorZo Surfaces, scalability never comes at the expense of customization or quality. With no minimum order quantity requirements, we support everything from single custom panels to full-building applications while maintaining consistent manufacturing quality, precision, and attention to detail across every project. Sustainably sourced lumber, controlled production processes, and flexible options in species, panel sizes, thicknesses, fabrication details, as well as finishes allow us to deliver reliable performance, smoother installations, and more efficient construction timelines at any scale. 

Thin CLT represents a more efficient, scalable, and design-forward approach to mass timber construction—bringing together architectural flexibility, engineered performance, installation efficiency, and biophilic design. As demand for mass timber continues to grow across commercial, institutional, and architectural markets, TorZo Surfaces remains positioned to deliver domestically manufactured Thin CLT solutions built for modern construction demands.
