Glued laminated timber
Glued laminated timber (glulam) is an advanced engineered wood product made by bonding multiple layers of dimensioned timber with durable, moisture-resistant adhesives. Renowned for its exceptional strength and stiffness, glulam is extensively used in construction for beams, columns, and arches, offering both structural integrity and architectural versatility. Its capability to span large distances without intermediate supports makes it ideal for creating open, expansive spaces in modern architectural designs. Glulam also boasts excellent fire resistance and long-term durability, ensuring reliable performance in diverse building applications. Furthermore, it is manufactured from sustainably sourced wood, aligning with eco-friendly building practices. The combination of its aesthetic appeal, robust performance, and environmental benefits makes glulam a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects.
