Frequently asked questions
What are the advantages of glulam over traditional timber?
Glulam is more durable and stable than solid wood. It can be produced in large sizes and various shapes (curved or straight), offering greater design flexibility.
Is glulam suitable for both indoor and outdoor use?
Yes, but outdoor use may require special treatment or coating for protection against moisture and weather.
How is glulam produced?
High-quality timber is selected and prepared, then layers are glued together under controlled pressure and temperature, ensuring consistent quality and durability.
What are the most common applications of glulam?
Glulam is used in various projects, including residential and commercial buildings, bridges, stadiums, and even art projects.
Are glued wooden beams fireproof?
Glulam beams generally have better fire resistance than regular wood due to their construction and dimensions. When exposed to fire, the outer surface carbonizes, creating a protective layer. This slows down fire spread and helps the beam retain its structure. However, full fire resistance depends on specific conditions, and additional fire protection treatment may be necessary.
