Glued laminated timber, or glulam, is the beating heart of timber engineering. Several layers of spruce wood are glued together in the direction of the grain and processed into customised glulam elements. Our glued laminated timber offers excellent statics qualities. It is light-weight and retains its shape. Using glulam allows for large-range constructions without thermal bridges, offers excellent resistance in chemically aggressive environments and offers a number of other, lesser known benefits: The material offers a naturally high resistance to fire. The charred layer on the outside of the material caused by fire slows down or even prevents more substantial fire damage to the carrier material. As a result, timber structures never fail spontaneously. Burning speed and retention of load-bearing capacity can be calculated.
