Announcing the official brand launch of DowelLam.Today, StructureCraft announces the official launch of a new brand, DowelLam. In 2017, the company brought the Dowel Laminated Timber (DLT) panel to the North American market with the worlds largest automated DLT manufacturing line. Since then, StructureCraft has delivered over 100 projects across nearly every typology, including significant buildings for Microsoft, Princeton University, and Hines.

Since 2017, their team has built over 3 million square feet (over 300,000 square meters) of DLT, including a proprietary profile, Acoustic DLT, across every project type, including educational, office, institutional, public and residential buildings. By merging traditional doweling with cutting-edge machinery and automation, DowelLam delivers mass timber panels that are free of metal and adhesives between laminations.DowelLam manufacturing process (Courtesy DowelLam)DLT, as the first all-wood mass timber panel, uses hardwood dowels (rather than glue or nails) to bond the edgewise softwood dimensional lumber strands together, resulting in structural panels ideal for floors, roofs, and walls. DowelLam offers unique advantages to owners and designers, including structural efficiency, sustainability, architectural quality, and economy. Groundbreaking Innovation in an Acoustic PanelDowelLam is the only large-scale North American supplier of Acoustic DLT (ADLT), a high-performance panel which integrates a built-in acoustically absorptive membrane into the underside of the DLT, allowing the mass timber to remain exposed while meeting both structural and noise reduction demands.Washington State School for the Blind Life Skills Training Center in Vancouver, Washington, built with DowelLams Acoustic DLT. (Lincoln Barbour)The Largest DLT Facility in the WorldDowelLams state-of-the-art Abbotsford facility is a 50,000-square-foot manufacturing hub designed to produce DLT, the largest such facility in the world. The plant houses advanced equipment and automation, enabling the efficient production of panels over 60-feet-long, with precise control over panel dimensions and dowel placement to meet structural and architectural requirements. The production process integrates computer-based technology with sustainable practices to produce minimum waste.

(DowelLam)From lumber grading, visual optimization and finger-jointing to moulding, pressing, CNC milling, and coatings, the entire facility is optimized for quality and efficiency. Panels are customized with profiles for aesthetic or acoustic purposes and can be reinforced with structural sheathing or screw systems for enhanced performance. Automated notching and coating ensure panels are ready for site installation, while engineers review dowel placement and panel configurations to meet project-specific demands.StructureCrafts Role in the MarketStructureCraft is an award-winning group of creative structural consulting engineers and specialized builders, having realized over 350 efficient and beautiful structures across the world since 1998.
