Product type
Glued laminated timber, often referred to as glulam, is an engineered wood product made by bonding together multiple layers of dimensional lumber with durable adhesives. This process allows for the creation of structural elements that are stronger and more versatile than traditional solid wood. Glulam is typically used in construction for beams, arches, and columns, providing both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.
| Material | Laminated layers of softwood or hardwood |
| Standard lengths | Up to 12 meters or more |
| Thickness range | 45 mm to 300 mm |
| Width range | 90 mm to 300 mm |
| Moisture content | Typically 12% or less |

When selecting glued laminated timber, buyers should consider factors such as the intended load-bearing capacity, environmental conditions, and aesthetic requirements. It's important to specify the wood species, grade, and desired dimensions. Additionally, inquire about certifications for sustainability and compliance with local building codes to ensure the material meets necessary standards.
