Glued-Laminated Timber

Glued-laminated timber or gluelam, is a natural construction material, more resistant than conventional construction timber. It consists of several planed wood boards/slats assembled and glued together with a virtually invisible polyurethane adhesive.

Usage

Because of its stability and high load-bearing capacity this construction material is highly appreciated in the sector of wood construction, mainly for wooden structured houses, big halls and buildings such as sports halls, communal or industrial centres. It is also used in ceiling, flooring and balcony structures. The advantages of glued-laminated timber are numerous: deformation resistance, few fissures or cracks, precise sections, excellent thermal insulation, homogenous aspect, easy to work/ form, high earning potential, aesthetic material.
