Intrapreneur Intensive # 5 - Glue Laminated Timber (Glulam)

Of all the solid laminated timber systems now available, Glulam beams are easily the most used and most recognisable, the technology having been around for a very long time. Familiarity can, however, introduce complacency and a lack of awareness of recent developments in this area. Curved and double curved beams, long span undulating structures, interlocking grid systems, hardwood and softwood solutions, modular hybrid timber systems: all these and more offer architects and engineers an expanded palette of design opportunity.
