Results for tag: "Glue Laminated Beams"

Glue Laminated Beams (GLB) are a type of building material used in the construction of large structures such as bridges, stadiums, and warehouses. GLB are composed of multiple layers of wood, which are glued together to form a single beam. This type of beam is stronger and more durable than traditional wood beams, and is often used in applications where a higher load capacity is required. GLB are also more resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage, making them a popular choice for outdoor structures. GLB are typically manufactured in a factory setting, where the wood is cut to size, treated, and then glued together. The beams are then dried and cured in a kiln, before being shipped to the construction site. GLB are available in a variety of sizes and shapes, and can be customized to meet the specific needs of the project. Some of the companies in the GLB market include Weyerhaeuser, Boise Cascade, Georgia-Pacific, and Roseburg Forest Products. Show Less Read more
