Glulam or laminated timber
Glued laminated timber, also known as BLC (from French bois lamellé collé) or glulam, is the most versatile type of construction timber for load-bearing timber structures. By gluing multiple layers of timber under high pressure, a homogeneous and extremely strong construction material is created, suitable for impressive spans and free forms.

Korlam designs, produces, and assembles glulam constructions for the professional construction market. Whether it’s arches, trusses, beams, or columns, glulam offers architects and contractors maximum freedom in terms of form and dimensions, without compromising on strength or durability.
Applications of glued laminated timber include sports halls and complexes, logistics and industrial buildings, retail buildings and shopping centres, agricultural constructions, and roof structures with large spans.
Why choose glued laminated timber? The timber is dimensionally stable, has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and behaves predictably in a fire. This is a significant advantage over steel. Moreover, wood is a renewable resource that stores CO2, making timber construction a sustainable choice for any building project.
