Our Expertise in Glulam Timber Installation
Glued laminated timber, or glulam, is renowned for its strength and aesthetic appeal, making it an ideal choice for architectural and structural applications. However, the process of glued laminated timber installation can differ from other construction materials due to its unique characteristics and installation techniques.
Here are some key differences:
Material Handling: Glulam beams require careful handling to prevent damage to their glued surfaces, which are crucial for maintaining structural integrity. Unlike materials like steel or precast concrete, glulam is lighter but needs protection from the elements during transport and installation.
Customisation and Precision: Each glulam piece can be custom-made to specific dimensions, allowing for intricate designs and architectural flexibility not always possible with other materials like steel. However, for installers like us, this requires precise measurements and detailed planning before installation begins.
Installation Technique: The installation of glulam timber often involves the use of specialised rigging techniques to ensure that the large, sometimes curved, beams are placed without stress or distortion.
Connection and Integration: Joining glulam timber pieces involves specific hardware and techniques that differ from those used in metal construction. The connections must be planned to handle the natural properties of wood, such as expansion and contraction, which differs significantly from metal or concrete.
These unique requirements highlight the need for seasoned expertise in glulam timber installation, ensuring that all aspects of the process are handled with precision and care to achieve the desired aesthetic and structural outcomes.
