Advantages of Glulam Beams:



Goes On Looking Good

Wood is naturally durable and robust. In Glulam form it offers excellent fire resistance, unlike other alternatives, and provides a known charring rate bringing safety and integrity to your structure. Glulam is chemically stable and suitable for aggressive and humid environments, expanding its scope of use across every market sector.

Flexibility in Design

From straight beams to curved portals and complex pyramids, Glulam adds strength, structure and magic to architecture. Rather than hiding away the building's 'skeleton', Glulam allows you to celebrate the majesty and vibrance of nature's finest creation.

Sustainable, Dependable

We ensure that all our timber products come from managed forests, where more trees are planted than harvested. It is important to note that only growing trees photosynthesise, so managed forests are probably more environmentally 'productive' than those left to their own devices. Where as some products are tenuously recyclable, Glulam from Lamwood is totally renewable.
