Rosboro Laminated Decking™

Cost-Effective Decking Solution for Mass Timber
Rosboro Laminated DeckingTM is a cost-effective alternative compared to other mass timber floor and roof systems such as CLT (Cross Laminated Timber).

Features and Benefits of Laminated Decking

  • Easier to handle and install than bulky panel systems
  • Wide face of lumber is not exposed, greatly reducing
    the visibility of checking
  • Ideal for floor or roof designs that include a space
    between panels in the exposed ceiling for utility
    chases
  • Bearing support only required perpendicular to span
    allowing for the use of floor-to-ceiling curtain wall
    systems below panel edges
  • Can be pre-fabricated with all connections and
    openings just like CLT
  • 1-hour and 2-hour fire rated conformance
  • Wide range of size options make RLD the most cost
    effective wood roof and floor decking on the market

Available Sizes

  • Thickness: 3 1⁄2”, 5 1⁄2”, 6 3⁄4”, and 8 3⁄4”
  • Widths: 12” through 48”
  • Length: 10’ to 60’
With all laminations oriented on the strong axis RLD is stronger than CLT, allowing you to use smaller sections and reduce project costs.
3 1⁄2” RLD can replace 3-ply CLT while 5 1⁄2” RLD replaces 5-ply CLT in most floor and roof applications.
The exposed surface is available with either architectural or industrial appearance to fit a variety of project needs.

Designed for single and multi-span applications, Rosboro Laminated Decking provides a high-strength, visually appealing base for any Mass Timber structure.
