Glulam – high load-bearing capacity for structural timber engineering

Glued laminated timber consists of at least three board lamellas bonded in the same grain direction. Compared to solid wood of the same cross-section, glulam has 80% higher load-bearing capacity. As a result, it can withstand high static loads and is mainly used in civil engineering. Depending on the requirement, the surface quality can vary from industrial to selection quality. This enables versatile use of the product.
