Overview: Glued laminated timbers (glulam) are manufactured by end joining individual pieces of dimension lumber or boards together with structural adhesives to create long length laminations. These long length laminations are then face bonded together with adhesives to create the desired glulam shape. Through the laminating process, a variety of shapes can be created ranging from straight rectangular cross-sections to complex curved shapes with varying cross-sections. Thus, glulam is one of the most versatile of the family of glued engineered wood products and is used in applications ranging from concealed beams and headers in residential construction to soaring domed stadiums.
