MAKING MASS TIMBER ACCESSIBLE
Our company was founded in 1949 and continues to operate according to the Sterling family values to this day. Since we are always innovating and adapting to our customers’ needs, we were one of the first companies to begin manufacturing CLT and offered its unique benefits to the site access and industrial matting market.
Today, Sterling is still America’s largest CLT manufacturer with the capacity to produce 1,000 panels a day at our plants in Lufkin, Texas and Phoenix, Illinois. In 2022 we expanded to bring our exceptional operational capacity and wealth of experience to the building construction market, with PRG 320-certified structural CLT panels available at competitive price points and timelines.

Maximize with Mass Timber Modules
Sterling Structural’s modular approach to mass timber construction makes building with this sustainable material accessible and affordable. Our standardized TerraLam CLT panels are designed for seamless integration, reducing on-site construction time and complexity. We’re ready to streamline CLT utilization while offering quality, speed and cost-effectiveness to maximize your project’s efficiency and value.
Benefits of Sterling’s standard-format panels:
- Reduced construction time
- Lower costs
- Improved quality control
- Easier transportation and logistics
- Simplified design process
- Increased flexibility for future modifications
- Reduced on-site labor requirements
- Minimized construction waste
- Better predictability in project timelines
- Easier integration of prefabricated components
SUSTAINABILITY MEETS AFFORDABILITY
Since roughly 75% of the carbon sequestered in a mass timber building is stored in its floor and roof slabs, increasing the adoption of mass timber for horizontal plate applications can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of your built environment. This approach provides flexibility for the utilization of a wider range of vertical support materials while making substantial progress in sustainability.
