DowelLam

DowelLam is a global leader in mass timber manufacturing, recognized for delivering dowel-laminated timber (DLT) panels in significant projects across North America. By merging traditional wood doweling with cutting-edge machinery and automation, we produce timber panels that are free of metal and adhesives between laminations. Since 2017, our team has built over 3 million square feet (about 300,000 square meters) of DLT across every project type, including educational, office, institutional, public and residential buildings. DLT, as the first all-wood mass timber panel, uses hardwood dowels (rather than glue or nails), to bond the softwood dimensional lumber strands together, resulting in strong and stiff structural panels ideal for floors, roofs, and walls. DowelLam offers unique advantages to owners and designers, including structural efficiency, sustainability, architectural quality, and large panel sizes. We are also the leading supplier of Acoustic DLT, a high-performance panel which adds a built-in acoustically-absorptive ceiling into the underside of the DLT panel, making this the world’s first acoustic mass timber panel.
