Services
Glulam Beams
Custom-engineered Glulam beams combine structural strength with aesthetic appeal. Available in Spruce, Douglas Fir, and Larch, these beams support spans up to 40 metres while maintaining dimensional stability. Ideal for commercial structures and residential projects requiring load-bearing timber solutions with visual impact.
Custom Trusses
Precision-manufactured Glulam trusses for vaulted ceilings and architectural statements. Designed to exact specifications, these trusses offer superior strength-to-weight ratios while enhancing interior spaces. Suitable for barn conversions, modern builds, and heritage projects requiring structural integrity with natural aesthetics.
Structural Frames
Complete structural Glulam frame systems for commercial and residential developments. Incorporating concealed or exposed steel connections, these frames provide durable, low-maintenance solutions for swimming pool structures, educational facilities, and hybrid construction projects combining timber with steel or SIPs.
Timber Machining
Advanced machining services for custom Glulam components. Capable of complex cuts and precise dimensional adjustments to meet project-specific requirements. Supports both straight and curved beam configurations, ensuring compatibility with on-site assembly processes and architectural designs.
Nationwide Delivery
Reliable delivery of Glulam products across the UK from our strategically located Avonmouth facility. Optimised transport solutions for large structural components, ensuring timely arrival of materials while maintaining product integrity. Complements our design and manufacturing services with end-to-end project support.
Questions
What is Glulam timber engineering?
Glulam (glued laminated timber) engineering involves manufacturing structural beams by bonding layers of timber under controlled conditions. This process creates strong, durable components suitable for large spans while maintaining the natural aesthetic of wood.
What construction projects suit Glulam?
Glulam is ideal for commercial buildings, educational facilities, swimming pool structures, and residential projects requiring large structural spans. Its strength-to-weight ratio makes it particularly suitable for vaulted ceilings, bridges, and hybrid construction systems.
How sustainable is Glulam?
Our Glulam products come from PEFC-certified sustainable forests. Timber sequesters carbon dioxide, with each cubic metre reducing CO2 emissions by 2 tonnes, making Glulam an environmentally responsible alternative to concrete and steel.
Can Glulam be used in swimming pool structures?
Yes, Glulam's resistance to chemical environments makes it ideal for swimming pool construction. Its dimensional stability and lack of corrosion issues provide durable structural solutions for both commercial and private pool buildings.
Do you offer custom design services?
We provide complete design packages from concept to delivery. Our team works with clients to create bespoke Glulam solutions, including 3D visualisations and detailed engineering plans for complex architectural requirements.
What delivery options are available?
We offer nationwide delivery from our Avonmouth facility, strategically located at the M4/M5 corridor. Our logistics network ensures timely transportation of Glulam components to construction sites across the UK.
