About DowelLam
DowelLam is a global leader in mass timber manufacturing, recognized for delivering dowel-laminated timber (DLT) panels in significant projects across North America. By merging traditional doweling with cutting-edge machinery and automation, we deliver mass timber panels that are free of metal and adhesives between laminations. Since 2017, our team has built over 3 million square feet (about 300,000 square meters) of DLT and acoustic DLT across every project type, including educational, office, institutional, public, and residential buildings.
DLT, as the first all-wood mass timber panel, uses hardwood dowels (rather than glue or nails) to bond edgewise softwood dimensional lumber strands together, resulting in architectural, strong structural panels ideal for floors, roofs, and walls. DowelLam offers unique advantages to owners and designers, including structural efficiency, sustainability, architectural quality, and large panel sizes.
We are the leading supplier of acoustic DLT (ADLT), a high-performance panel that integrates a built-in acoustically absorptive ceiling into the underside of the DLT panel, allowing the mass timber to remain exposed while meeting both structural and noise reduction demands.
In 2017, StructureCraft brought this technology to the North American market with the world’s largest automated DLT manufacturing line. In 2025, as demand for the DLT product continued to grow, StructureCraft formed the DowelLam division to focus on the full-service design-assist and supply of DLT to clientele across North America.
