Structurlam mass timber and EPD coverage snapshot

What Structurlam makes

Structurlam is a mass timber specialist. Their core lines are Cross Laminated Timber panels sold historically as CrossLam and structural glued laminated timber beams marketed as Glulam Plus. Think floors, walls, roofs, and long‑span beams that replace conventional steel or concrete in many project types.

Portfolio size, in plain terms

The catalog is focused rather than sprawling. Across panel thicknesses, layups, stress classes, and beam sizes, the offer lands in the dozens of distinct SKUs, with made‑to‑order geometries on top. That puts them closer to a pure play in CLT and glulam than a broad wood conglomerate with many side categories.

EPD status at a glance

Structurlam previously published product‑specific EPDs for Crosslam CLT and Glulam Plus under ASTM International. Those declarations reached end of validity on January 12 and 13, 2025, so none are current today (ASTM International, 2025). Earlier FPInnovations EPDs for CrossLam also expired in 2018 (FPInnovations, 2018).

Why it matters. On projects tracking embodied carbon or pursuing LEED v5 materials pathways, a product without a current, product‑specific EPD often receives a penalty in modeled impacts compared to a peer with a verified declaration. That tilts specification odds before price is even discussed.

Competitors with current declarations

Several North American and European peers hold in‑force EPDs for like‑kind products.

• Kalesnikoff has current EPDs for CLT and glulam valid through March 16, 2027 (ASTM International, 2027).
• Nordic Structures lists current CLT and glulam EPDs valid through November 8, 2028 (CSA Group, 2028).
• SmartLam NA has current CLT EPDs valid through January 22, 2026 (SCS Global Services, 2026).
• Vaagen Timbers holds current CLT and glulam EPDs valid through April 15, 2026 (ASTM International, 2026).

These are direct substitutes in education, office, civic, and industrial projects, where engineers can swap CLT panel thicknesses or glulam sizes with limited redesign.

Where coverage looks thin

Because Structurlam’s current EPDs have lapsed, both flagship lines are uncovered right now. No signs of separate plant‑specific EPDs or mix‑specific variants appear in public operator records for 2025. If a bidder requests a product‑specific EPD for the mass timber package, a competitor above is more likely to be accepted on first pass.

A likely best seller that needs attention

Glulam beams are often the backbone of long‑span mass timber frames. Without a current glulam EPD at Structurlam, specifiers can reach for Kalesnikoff or Nordic glulam and keep credits intact, especially when owners issue enviromental procurement requirements that prefer verified disclosures. That is avoidable lost surface area in pursuits.

Practical next steps that speed revenue

Pick the same rulebook peers use. Most competitor EPDs cite the Part B for Structural and Architectural Wood Products, paired with the appropriate Part A. Aligning with that PCR family makes reviews smoother and keeps comparisons apples to apples. Dont wait for a marketing campaign to start this. Once data capture is under way, publication can follow quickly with a reputable program operator.

The spec arena Structurlam plays in

Mass timber competes in mid‑rise offices, university buildings, K‑12, multifamily over podium, and civic halls. The usual non‑wood alternatives are steel and post‑tensioned concrete. In mixed bids, a current EPD narrows the debate to aesthetics, schedule, and cost instead of disqualifying a product on compliance grounds.

Tie‑off

The product story is strong and focused. The gap is paperwork, not performance. Refresh CLT and glulam EPDs with the same clarity competitors already show, and Structurlam is immediately more spec‑able in 2026 bids. The fastest teams treat EPD work as structured data collection and review rather than a side project, which is how they keep momentum when opportunities hit the inbox.
