Vaagen Timbers

Vaagen Timbers, based in Colville, Washington, makes Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) panels and Glu Laminated Timber (glulam) using mass timber sourced from forest restoration projects.

Their innovative method produces lighter materials which reduces emissions related to transportation. The strength, durability, and fire-resistant qualities of their products allow them to replace traditional materials like concrete for building and thus aids in the decarbonization of the built environment.
