What Are Glulam Beams?

Glulam (glue-laminated timber) beams are engineered timber products made by bonding layers of timber together with durable adhesives.
Each beam is carefully manufactured to offer exceptional strength, stability, and long-span performance.
Unlike solid timber, glulam allows for larger, more complex structural designs.
Glulam beams are commonly used in exposed ceiling structures, bridges, roof systems, and large open-plan buildings.
They also provide elegant curves and clean architectural lines, perfect for modern timber architecture.

Benefits of Glulam Beams

Enjoy long spans without compromising strength or visual appeal.
Save time and money with pre-engineered solutions that reduce on-site labour.
Choose glulam for its excellent load-bearing capacity and high strength-to-weight ratio.
Experience a lightweight alternative to steel and concrete for large structural elements.
Reduce deflection and warping with high dimensional stability across all seasons.
Improve aesthetics with visually graded timber and a range of finish options.
Ensure sustainability with timber sourced from managed forests and FSC certification.

Applications for Glulam Beams

Support roofs in schools, sports halls, and commercial units with engineered timber spans.
Use glulam in large domestic homes for a striking exposed ceiling finish.
Create curved architectural features with precision-bent glulam beam elements.
Combine glulam with steel connectors to achieve hybrid construction systems.
Explore custom shapes and sizes for your design, from straight beams to arches and tapering forms.
Choose glulam for floor beams, posts, and columns in modern or traditional designs.
