Laminated Beams & Posts or Glue laminated timber/glulam, are structurally engineered wood products constituted by layers of dimensional lumber bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives. Laminated Beams & Posts are commonly used for beams and columns in residential and commercial applications. It is a highly visible form of mass timber in contemporary projects, with long spans framing signature designs left exposed to take advantage of wood’s natural aesthetic.
This includes a range of architectural applications, including churches, higher education facilities, offices, and homes.
