Glulam is the commonly used abbreviation for Glued Laminated Timber. Glulam’s tensile characteristics make it suitable for long span, load-bearing widths, such as bridges. It is an exceptionally strong material, used for load-bearing structures where visual appearance is important. It can also be shaped, helping to form spacious buildings.

Benefits of Glulam Beams

• Suitable for large spans
• High strength to weight ratio
• Straight, shaped and curved forms
• Natural beauty & appearance of timber
• Excellent fire resistant properties
• Resistant to aggressive chemical environments
• Easy to handle, can be worked using ordinary tools
• Surface can be treated
• Sourced from well managed forests (Chain of Custody certified)
• Minimal environmental impact when manufactured
• Recyclable
• Eco-friendly and biodegradable, generating less atmospheric CO2 relative to other building products
• Thermally efficient

Our roof cassettes are precision-engineered offsite components, used in place of traditional on-site construction methods to quickly deliver flat roofs. With a design based on our in-depth industry knowledge and extensive experience, these innovative timber systems have been developed to meet the evolving demands of the construction sector, with rapid installation and a high percentage of pre-manufactured value.

Benefits of Roof Cassettes

• High quality yet rapid external finish on projects
• Improved health and safety on site
• Reduced construction time on site
• Bespoke design with incorporated M&E considerations
• Less waste material on site
• Cassettes use either PEFC or FSC®, certified timber
• Fantastic thermal qualities
• Large spans can be achieved due to the cassette’s engineered joist construction
• Impressive dimensional accuracy & reliable build quality
• Dramatically reduced build times
• Complete design, fabrication & delivery service
