glue-laminated beams
- National Building Systems provides glue-laminated beams directly from manufacturers and from local wholesale distributors.
- Glue-laminated Beams (GLB’s) are manufactured by bonding together multiple plies of solid-sawn 2x’s to create rectangular sections that can span longer distances than solid-sawn wood beams. The combination of strength and natural wood appearance gives architects and builders a wide range of design flexibility.
- Glue-laminated beams have become a common structural product in industrial, retail and office construction and anywhere an exposed appearance-grade beam is desired.
