Some key advantages of using Laminated Timber / Glulam
- Strength & Stability : Glulam can withstand heavy loads and has a high resistance to warping, twisting, and shrinking, making it ideal for long-span structures.
- Design Flexibility : Glulam can be manufactured in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and curves, allowing architects and designers to create custom-designed structural elements. Its versatility makes it suitable for a variety of applications, including beams, columns, arches, and trusses.
- Sustainable and Renewable: Glulam is an environmentally friendly construction material. It is made from sustainably harvested timber, which is a renewable resource.
- Aesthetically Pleasing: Glulam offers an attractive appearance with visible wood grain patterns, which adds warmth and natural beauty to structures.
- Fire Resistance: Glulam has good fire-resistant properties compared to other structural materials like steel. It chars slowly when exposed to fire, providing a predictable burn rate that allows for effective fire control.
- Lighter Weight: Despite its strength, glulam is relatively lightweight compared to other construction materials such as steel or concrete. This characteristic simplifies transportation, handling, and on-site installation, resulting in cost and time savings during construction.
- Excellent Performance: Glulam exhibits consistent performance characteristics, ensuring reliability in structural applications.
- Energy Efficiency: Timber has natural insulating properties, and glulam can contribute to improved energy efficiency in buildings.
Laminated Timber / Glulam is available in SA.Pine, Eucalyptus Grandis – Saligna and imported Spruce.
