Glulam Beams
What is Glulam?
The term Glulam is an abbreviated term that stands for glue-laminated timber. A Glulam beam is made with multiple layers of solid wood lumber bonded together with high-strength adhesive to form a single structural unit.
​
Glulam timber beams can be used in a wide variety of
applications and for both indoor and outdoor projects.
Common forms include:​
​
- Straight Glulam beams
- Glulam lintels, purlins, ridge beams, and floor beams
- Glulam Columns, including round, square, and sectioning
- Tied rafters
- Glulam Trusses
- Glulam Tied arches
- Glulam Arched bridge supports
- Curved beams
What are Laminated Timber Structures?
Glulam Structures are becoming an increasingly popular method of sustainable construction in comparison to the traditional Brick & Block techniques. These Glulam structures are made using a variety of timber components which can substitute out the processes of installing & working with steel rafters, concrete and brick.
Buildings can be put together in a fraction of the time using prefabs such as Timber Frames, Roof & Wall Cassettes, Insulated Panels, Glulam Beams, CLT Members etc. Not only are they a more economically viable solution in relation to reduced on-site times & installation fees but they also create a wonderful aesthetic end product with no need for cladding as well as being a sustainable method of construction.
