Dindas Glulam - Glued Laminated Beam

Visible beauty, high strength and versatility

Glue Laminated Beams, or Glulam from Dindas, is a natural structural material that is lighter to handle than the alternatives. It has an intrinsic beauty, is machinable in most cases on-site, and is biodegradable.

Several factors influence the choice of building materials, including cost, suitability, and design knowledge. Issues such as resource renewability, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness are also becoming increasingly important. For environmentally-conscious designers, Glulam is a primary choice of structural material.

Substantial research has been conducted on Glulam over the past three decades, and it is now accepted worldwide as a structural material with known behavioural properties.

When exposed, a glulam structure adds warmth and beauty to a building. Glulam is commonly used as the finished product, unlike most other structural building materials.

High Strength

Glulam is stronger and more consistent than traditional timber due to its uniform structure. It has a greater load-carrying capacity than traditional timber and can carry heavy loads over long spans.
It’s lightweight compared to alternatives such as steel and concrete.

Dimensional Stability

Features a solid construction that is both sturdy and lightweight, ensuring maximum stability and durability.
Glulam is highly resistant to warping, splitting, and shrinkage, making it ideal for use in load-bearing structures where stability is crucial.

Visible Beauty

Glulam is an excellent choice for creating beautiful spaces.
It looks great when left as a visible structure and can be easily combined with other materials like steel, stone, and concrete.

Sustainable Sourcing

As a Carbon Warrior partner, we only work with suppliers with verified Wood Source Certifications for responsible and sustainable timber.
Chain of Custody certification compliant for well-managed and sustainable forests.
