What is glulam?
Glulam is a type of engineered wood product made from wood laminations bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant adhesives. The grain of all laminations runs parallel with the length of the wood member.
How is glulam made?
Glulam is made from a wide variety of species such as Douglas-fir, spruce-pine-fir (SPF), and western hemlock. Beams and columns of virtually any size and shape are fabricated by laminating three or more kiln-dried, stress-tested, and finger-jointed lumber together to form continuous laminations. These laminations are pressed together using a mechanized, hydraulic press, and bonded with weather-resistant adhesives. Pressure treatment is used for exterior applications. Glulam can be customized as straight, curved, arched, and tapered members.
What is glulam used for?
As one of the oldest and most widely used mass timber products, glulam has a broad range of applications and is used in virtually all building types. Beyond buildings, it is also used as the primary material for major load-bearing structures such as bridges, canopies, and pavilions. It can be used as columns, straight or curved beams, and affixed side-by-side to form panels. It is particularly well-suited for long-spanning structures, custom curvilinear shapes, and can be combined with hybrid assemblies and building systems.
Areas of use include:
Roof truss and roof structures, even in exposed areas
Posts and beams
Ceiling structures or as a support grid system
Flooring
Door and window frames
