Detail Glulam Roof Structure

A variety of structural components can be formed using glulam including parallel beams pre cambered beams sloped beams curved beams flight beams and trusses.

When compared to concrete and steel glulam can produce a lighter weight structure with a lesser carbon footprint that is much stronger pound for pound. Glulam beams laid on their flat and used as floor or roof panels are known as glt panels see glue laminated timber panels.

Glulam support systems are prime examples of the unique character of timber engineering. The design possibilities are virtually limitless. Diverse and versatile parallel chords ridged roof trusses fishbelly bowstring truss timber frames and single pitch trusses. Glulam allows a high degree of prefabrication and long structural spans where necessary but is equally effective for shorter spans.

Its thermal properties help prevent cold bridging. Glulam is a structural material which optimizes the technical qualities of a renewable raw material timber. Glulam members are built with individual laminations of structural timber and give an effective material usage. Our glulam structures are manufactured to order with an efficient use of material in mind and offer top load bearing capacities.
