MASSLAM Glulam Timber Beams
QA Certificate
Certificate type
Glued, laminated, high-strength timber members.
Application
Column and beam systems for domestic and large commercial buildings; Timber/ concrete composite (TCC) floors; Laminated timber panels (LTP).
Description
Glued, laminated, high-strength timber members.
Features and benefits:
- Manufactured using Australian-grown timber.
- High strength-to-weight ratio: capable of longer spans than comparable products, allows for higher ceilings, increased floor space and lesser beam depth.
- Lower associated costs then concrete and steel.
- Sustainable material.
