Glulam
| Previous | 4 / 6 | Next |
Glue laminated timber has almost the same load bearing capacity as steel, but a far lower weight and excellent fire resistance due to its charring characteristics. When used in heavy timber construction, Glulam ensures high earthquake resistance and excellent resistance to aggressive substances. Glulam allows a high degree of prefabrication, and long structural spans where necessary - but is equally effective for shorter spans. Its thermal properties help prevent cold bridging.
