Curved
Glulam
Available in a wide variety of sizes and
shapes, structural glulam offers designers many opportunities to
creatively design buildings, while offering the benefit of the beauty and warmth of natural wood.
The use of peaked and cambered beams, or tudor and
radial arches, represents methods to achieve highly-desirable clear spans and lofty ceiling
heights in any commercial, recreational, religious, residential, or
educational project. To facilitate shipping or pressure-treating,
peaked and cambered beams can be designed with loose haunches.
Glulam arches and other curved beams can also be designed with loose haunches
and/or moment splices.
