Glulam
Glulam is
composed of individual wood laminations, or “lams”, specifically selected and
positioned in the timber, based on their performance characteristics, and
bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant adhesives. Glulam is available
in depths from 6 to 72 inches or greater and in lengths up to 100 feet and
longer. Glulam has greater strength and stiffness than comparable dimensional
lumber and, pound for pound, is stronger than steel. Common uses include
purlins, ridge beams, floor beams, headers, complex arches, commercial roof
systems, bridges and utility poles. Glulam is available in a range of
appearance characteristics to meet end-use requirements.
