Glulam (Glued laminated timber)
Characteristics
Dimensions
Glulam – glued laminated timber, a versatile engineered wood product used in construction for its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Created by bonding together layers of dimensioned lumber with durable, moisture-resistant adhesives under controlled conditions. Glulam is manufactured to precise specifications, allowing for a wide range of sizes and shapes to meet diverse structural needs in buildings. The process of laminating multiple layers of timber allows for the utilization of smaller, fast-growing trees, making glulam a sustainable alternative to traditional solid wood beams. Glulam offers several advantages over traditional timber, including greater strength-to-weight ratio, improved dimensional stability, and resistance to warping, shrinking, and splitting. Its aesthetic appeal, with visible wood grain patterns, also makes it a popular choice in architectural designs.
