To complement our Glulam product range, we can also supply all types of curved beams and supports from our partners. The appropriate shape can be freely selected to suit the architectural application. Because a combination of various lamella thicknesses can be used, all radii from approx. 2 m upwards are possible. Radii < 6.50 m, however may be subject to longer lead-times.

Glulam has been called the grandfather of engineering wood, because the first glulam engineered timber was produced over a century ago....log before I Joists of LVL.
Today, glulam is still a fresh choice for designers because of its strength, economy and ambiance. Straight, tapered or curved, it can be ordered in a range of sizes for all types of applications. Its strength for long spans can provide unobstructed view with minimal need for columns or posts.
Glued laminated wood arches, beams and trusses are also a renewable resource, because US foresters plant 5 million trees each day to insure a future supply of wood. this contrasts with steel and concrete, which deplete natural resources.
The combination of high strength and large sizes makes glulam timbers ideal as main load carrying members which can span over 100 feet. In residential construction, glulam beams are commonly used for headers and beams supporting large portions of floor and roof systems.
When glulam materials arrive at the jobsite prefinished or pre-drilled , the delivered product is the finished product. this makes glulam unique as a structural component for many kinds of buildings. other types of framing members arrive on site in raw form, and require additional cladding to create the final production.
Glulam timbers are available in four appearance grades; premium, architectural, industrial and framing.

BS-wood stands for best wood with highest requirements. HAAS BSH constructions fulfill highest requirements concerning product quality, statics, fire protection and environmental compatibility. Besides BSH makes largest spans for a free roof space for constructions possible. That means flexibility as well as freedom in interior planning.
Available in the most different forms and sizes board laminated wood in almost all dimensions is manufactured. Restrictions at height and length are only given by transport. Größt possible free spans, swung or curved construction units can be realized! Particularly for modern architects supports from board laminated wood a genuine alternative represent round.
Board laminated wood harmonizes very well with other materials like e.g. natural stone, steel or concrete. The surface can be colored, gewachst or painted. The optical sight of board laminated wood gives you a safe feeling of outstanding stability.
