Glued Laminated Timber

‘Glulam’

The natural, sustainable construction material providing the strength of steel

High load-bearing capacity, dimensionally stable and lightweight.

Glued Laminated Timber or ‘Glulam‘, is engineered timber made from layers or ‘lamila’ of wood, that are bonded with a moisture resistant clear adhesive. The finished product is solid timber lengths of known strength which are available in visual and non-visual quality.

Glulam can be used in a number of ways and is a superb constructional timber for many different areas, including walls, beams and columns.
