A special construction material

Glulam is an industrially manufactured product. Its purpose is to be load bearing and it is able to carry about 80% more weight than solid timber beams. During production, individual smaller sections of wood are kiln dried, stacked and then glued together. Both straight and curved beams are made this way. As a result of the very nature of the production process, glulam has high dimensional stability and high fracture resistance.
Glulam beams meet all the official German building authority requirements and are subject to regular quality monitoring complying with DIN1052 for load-bearing timber parts. Glulam is ideally suited for projects covering wide spans that carry heavy loads due to its dimensional stability, and for projects where appearance matters.
