The benefits
of Glulam Timber
Chemical resistance
Good looking
The natural appearance of glulam is sufficiently attractive to
make it eminently presentable with no cladding indeed, used
as exposed beams, glulam adds to the aesthetic appeal of a
structure.
Strength to weight
A structural steel beam may be 20% heavier and a concrete
beam 600% heavier than an equivalent glulam beam.
Increased strength due to the laminating process glulam is
stronger than solid timber as it has fewer natural defects and a
wider distribution. It is also comparable to steel in strength but
is much lighter.

Environmentally friendly
Energy efficient
Versatile
Glulam can be used for roof, lintel and floor beams, columns
and rafters in almost any type of structure.

HESS Basic
HESS Block
Cross-sections glued into a solid block. Larger member
widths (>260mm) can be manufactured very economically
by using composite members (blocks) in which two or
more glulam members are glued together into a solid

Softwood
European Spruce
Botanical name: Picea abies
European Spruce is an economically important coniferous
species grown in Europe and North America. It is used for
most of our products. Superior grades are prized as a premium
tonewood.
Radiata Pine
Botanical name: Pinus radiate
Radiata Pine is a softwood whose availability and ease of use
make it popular for all kinds of construction and decorative
uses. However, we only use it if specified by the customer due
e.g. pressure treatment requirements.
Radiata Pine is also used for the technically modified timber
named Accoya.
Western Red Cedar
Botanical name: Thuja plicata
Western Red Cedar is a large softwood that grows in British
Columbia and some of the nearby western states of the USA.
A versatile timber, it is commonly used for applications such as
cladding, windows and joinery.
However, there is no technical approval available for load
bearing purposes.

European Beech
European Larch
Botanical name: Larix decidua
Larch is well-known as a tough and durable timber similar to
Douglas Fir (see above). It is also available as a knot-free timber
if premium quality is specified.
Accoya (modified timber)
Accoya is an acetylated long life wood made out of Radiata
Pine (see www.accoya.com). It is mainly used when it comes
to high performance requirements that might only be achieved
otherwise by tropical hardwoods.
