What is Glulam?
Glue Laminated Timber are engineered wood products made by bonding multiple layers of timber with durable adhesives. This process enhances the strength and load-bearing capacity of the beams while allowing for longer spans and versatile design options. The laminated beams and posts are used for their versatility, structural strength and natural finish. As a leading manufacturer of glulam and CLT, we ensure that all our products meet the highest quality standards.
Why Choose Glulam Timber?
