Glued-Laminated Timbers or Glulams are engineered wood components made up of wood laminations, or "lams" that are facebonded (glued) together with waterproof adhesives.

The grain of all laminations run parallel with the length of the member. Individual lams are typically 2 inches nominal. Glulam products range in net widths from 2 1/2 to 10 3/4 inches, although nearly any member width can be produced.

Custom members are available in virtually any size and shape that may be required to meet the design conditions.
