What is Glulam?

​

Glulam (glue-laminated timber) is a high-performance engineered wood product made by bonding layers of dimensional lumber together to create strong, durable laminations. These laminations are precisely stacked and glued in straight or curved forms, optimizing the natural structural properties of wood.  

 

Each beam is designed for maximum efficiency:  

- Strongest laminations are placed at the top and bottom of the beam, where tension and compression stresses are highest.  

- Lower strength laminations** are used in less stressed areas, ensuring superior performance while making the most of the material.  

 

Manufactured to meet or exceed stringent **CSA standards** and certified by **APA-EWS**, glulam beams undergo rigorous quality control and testing to deliver exceptional strength, reliability, and versatility.
