Glulam (glue laminated timber) is an industrially manufactured product for load-bearing structures.
Glulam is manufactured by finger-jointing shorter board lengths to the required length of the beam. The finger-jointed boards are then face-bonded to each other building up the depth of the beam.
Glued laminated timber has a higher load bearing capacity than solid timber because the beam lay-up can be influenced by choosing specific lamella strength grades which can be positioned to optimize the overall strength grade of the beam.
The product is a dimensionally stable and is available in a large variety of cross-sections and lengths.
