Glulam timber beam
HESS HYBRIDE
HESS-WOHNWERK
Hybrid is an innovative product of the company HESS TIMBER - a symbiosis of two different wood species whose advantages ideally complete each other and therefore generate an economic product of high quality.
The combined construction of cross sections enables the effective use of the advantageous properties of different wood species.
As the core's cross section of the glued laminated timber beam consists generally of spruce - a standard wood species that has been granted technical approvals up to GL 36 (Hess 'Performance' up to GL 38c). The 1-2 cm thick coating can be made of precious and firm wood species e.g. Oak, Western red cedar, Accoya and Belmadur.
The proportion of the coating comes up to 3-6% concerning medium-sized cross sections and is therefore the economic basis of the product. Positive side effect: triggered by the manufacturing process the result is a definitely higher strength respectively it is possible to reach a higher strength.
For the use of glued laminated timber made of spruce, application class III (fully weather resistant member) according to DIN 1052:2008-12, no approvals are granted any more for preservation by the application process (only granted if pressure impregnated).
Now, architects have completely new possibilities regarding the visual appearance using glued laminated timber beams, whereas engineers have found a solution concerning the durability.
