Engineered Wood

Wood has come a long way in the last 100 years. Today we have the ability to take an article of  wood, disassemble it and turn it into something completely different.

Traditional dimensional timber is limited by the log in terms of size, length and strength. The advancement of stress grading wood has produced higher strength wood grades however these grades have always been limited based on naturally occurring defects in wood (such as knots).

Engineered timber breaks the traditional mould by allowing
timber to be bigger, longer and stronger than it ever could be.... With engineered wood the possibilities are endless!

LVL - Laminated Veneer Lumber
LVL is made from high strength timber veneers laminated with a Type 'A' Marine Glue bond. LVL products inspire Architects, Designers, Builders and End-users. It is consistent, reliable and saves time and labour. LVL is available in longer lengths than timber and can bear greater loads over wider spans making it a very cost-effective solution.

Glulam - Glue Laminated Lumber
Glulam beams are manufactured by laminating multiple lengths of dimensional lumber to created a larger section. These sections can be very large in both size and length and can be shaped or curved to suit specific applications. Because of the customability of Glue laminated beams, Architects and Engineers are not limited as the design possibilities are endless.
