Home / Glued Beam Houses
The glued beam, so-called glulam (a glued and laminated log of a certain size and profile), is widely used in the construction of individual houses and wide-span buildings and constructions, mostly in the western world but slowly getting into use in Asia as well. Generally, the processes of glulam manufacturing, including cutting, drying, sanding, gluing, and profiling, make glued beams more expensive as compared to solid wood products. At the same time, glulam gives a raised number of storeys and variations in design and configurations, an extended load factor and durability, notable time savings during erection and energy efficiency after, an extremely low maintenance cost, and an extended life of the building.
Simply speaking, a glued beam unites the properties of a natural material and gives it artificial properties as a modern construction and finishing material. No cracks will appear on the body of wooden walls; there is no need to use insulators or other usual treatment means; and construction is done extremely fast at your site. The distinctive property of a glued beam is its profile, which allows it to connect beams in elevation so densely that the structure turns as though into a uniform monolith, being earthquake resistant and highly energy efficient.
The main thing that attracts the consumer to a glued beam is its smooth and aesthetic surface, with no single defect or crack and an insignificant number of knots, so finally furniture-quality polishing can be done.
The glued beam thickness we manufacture is 88mm and 120 mm for single-story structures and 160mm for duplex cottages and overlapping beams.
With the use of glued beams, you can build bigger halls in your wooden home and make leaving rooms with impressive double height, completely wooden modern structures without steel and concrete members—100% ecological and safe! and in a wide range of design options to run beyond common architectural vision. Such exclusivity for wooden log homes cannot be achieved with any other construction material ever invented to date.
And finally, glulam is even more famous for being widely used for wooden flooring, laminated staircases, and door and window frames thanks to its minimum shrinkage and lack of cracks on the surfaces.
