Glulam beams are 2x4 or 2x6 douglas fir dimensional lumber layered and laminated together with durable moisture resistant structural adhesives.
Curved glulam beam sizes.
Glulam is available in both custom and stock sizes.
Typical stock beam widths used in residential construction include.
Aitc beam capacity tables.
The tightness of the radius will determine the thickness of the laminations.
Inside radius of 20 0 or more allows use of 2 nominal laminations.
Typical stock beam widths include.
Stock beams manufactured in common dimensions are cut to length when the beam is ordered from a distributor or dealer.
Our glulams have an architectural appearance meaning that the exposed faces have been sanded and the all exposed corners have an eased edge.
Table specifications are provided with each table indicating conditions and assumptions used to calculate the loads.
Glulam is adjustable glulam beams can be manufactured to the exact dimensions required.
Normally however it is an advantage to choose the cross section of the glulam beam so that it can be formed using standard thickness lamellas.
By laminating a number of smaller pieces of timber a single large strong structural member is manufactured from smaller pieces.
Can manufacture a variety of different types of curved glulams including the standard constant radius curve tudor arches and peak and cambered glulams.
Available in a variety of widths and depths for multiple applications.

Typical stock beam widths used in residential construction include.
Stock beams are manufactured in commonly used dimensions and cut to length when the beam is ordered from a distributor or dealer.
A 12m radius can be achieved using standard 45mm thick laminations but a tighter 3m radius may require a thickness of 18mm.
Use beam stress combinations e g.
We can manufacture most custom curved shapes including s curves side curves parabolic arches double compound curves and tight radius curves with a radius as tight as 2 0.
