Glulam, or glued laminated timber, is crafted from finger-jointed wooden slats that are bonded together to create beams of varying dimensions. This material boasts a higher load-bearing capacity compared to both steel and concrete, making it an excellent choice for constructing buildings with large spans and flexible floor plans.

 

Easy to process
Large elements facilitate quick assembly, resulting in a lower total cost. Glulam can be processed with traditional hand tools, simplifying installations.

 

Pleasant environments
Glulam contributes to bright and pleasant indoor environments. Moisture-buffering properties create a good indoor climate, and visible wood details provide aesthetic design solutions.

 

A smart climate choice
The building components are manufactured from renewable raw materials in a process with minimal climate impact. It binds carbon dioxide throughout its entire lifespan.
