What is Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam)?

Niuform’s Glulam, also known as laminated beams, is an engineered wood product with stress ratings made up of wood laminations, or “lamellas,” bonded together with durable, waterproof adhesives. This unique process creates a material with exceptional properties, making it the ideal choice for a wide range of construction projects.
