Large glulam members are produced from smaller pieces of stress graded and seasoned timber known as laminates.
Glulam roof beams if the proposed design of your roof is not achievable using a conventional truss design then sydenhams can incorporate glulam laminated beams to provide support intermediately or as a design statement the beams can be left exposed to provide maximum impact.
The dimensional tolerances for glulam are regulated by en 14080.
Glulam allows a high degree of prefabrication and long structural spans where necessary but is equally effective for shorter spans.
We are a designer and manufacturer of wooden components and glulam structures since 1967 simonin continues to develop and innovate to meet your projects requirements.
Its thermal properties help prevent cold bridging.
Table specifications are provided with each table indicating conditions and assumptions used to calculate the loads.
Glulam beams laid on their flat and used as floor or roof panels are known as glt panels see glue laminated timber panels.
Glue laminated beams glulam general.
This standard lists four glulam strength classes.
The tables include values for section properties and capacities and allowable loads for simple span and cantilevered beams.
Glulam can generally be used for the interior and the exterior.
Covered ceilings and roof beams.
These tables are provided as a guideline.
The tables are based on an allowable 12 23.
It is now used for both structural and decorative applications.
Bs en 1194 1999 gives the characteristic values for glulam properties for design to eurocode 5.
When using it outdoors glulam should be protected under a roof like other load bearing timber.
Tolerances and the natural shrinking and swelling behaviour or timber may result in dimensional deviation of the cross section.
Aitc capacity tables provide the uniformly distributed load that a glued laminated timber beam can support based on beam size span and material properties.
We can service all bespoke projects using knowledge gained over many years many that have used our large range of products whether the requirement is simple or complex straight or curved.
Glulam short for glued laminated timber is an engineered wood product.
