![]() In our industry, they are typically utilized to span large openings that regular timber beams cannot, like balcony door and breezeway openings. Furthermore, glulam beams have good fire resistance and can outlast steel beams due to a charred carbon layer that is formed on the surface of the beams which insulates against heat. Glulam beams also have a much better environmental impact compared to steel or concrete beams for their carbon storage capacity. Most notably, in 2019, the construction of an 18-story building in Norway was formed from solely glulam and laminated timber beams. Glulam members are customizable to be formed to specific lengths and curvature to fit the needs of most residential and commercial wood-framed properties. Glulam is composed of wood laminations that are bonded together with high-strength adhesives to form a strong member. Glue-laminated lumber (also known as Glulam) is a versatile and innovative material widely used in the construction industry and has become increasingly more popular in recent years for its many benefits. ![]()
