Södra’s Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam) panels are engineered wood products crafted from high-quality, slow-grown Swedish spruce. These panels are manufactured by bonding multiple layers of timber with durable, moisture-resistant adhesives, resulting in structural elements that offer exceptional strength, dimensional stability, and aesthetic appeal. 

Features

- Sustainability: Södra sources its timber from sustainably managed forests, ensuring that the Glulam panels are both renewable and environmentally friendly.

- Durability: The cold Swedish climate contributes to the slow growth of spruce trees, producing timber with tight growth rings. This results in Glulam panels with superior strength and stability.

- Versatility: Available in various sizes and grades, Södra’s Glulam panels can be customized to meet specific architectural and structural requirements, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including beams, columns, and decking elements. 

-Aesthetic Appeal: The natural wood finish of Glulam panels adds warmth and character to building interiors and exteriors, aligning with biophilic design principles.

 

Applications

Södra’s Glulam panels are ideal for use in residential, commercial, and public buildings. They are particularly well-suited for structures that require long spans without intermediate supports, such as auditoriums, sports halls, and open-plan offices. Additionally, their aesthetic qualities make them a popular choice for visible structural elements in architectural designs
