Glulam
Glulam has been produced at the Jenbach site in Tyrol since 1996. Production takes place at two separate plants. binderholz is among the manufacturers with the highest output worldwide. Raw materials are supplied by the group‘s own large sawmills in Fügen in Austria and Kösching in Germany. The geographical position of the plant in the middle of European key markets allows short routes to the customer and the shortest delivery times.
RANGE
Manufacture takes place with the help of technically highly developed production methods. Beams of the strength classes GL 24, GL 28, GL 32, GL 36 are produced.
binderholz is a supplier of the full range of glulam products. The core competence lies in the production of straight as well as curved beams.
BENEFITS - PROPERTIES
High load bearing capacity: Low dead load and high loading capacity (lighter than steel constructions at the same load bearing capacity) enable large spans with minimum dimensions.
High dimensional stability: Due to production techniques, glulam is a dimensionally stable material with minimised cracking.
Large variety of shapes: Glulam can be produced in virtually any shape and size
High value surface quality: excellent appearance thanks to the latest scanning and planing technologies
Swelling and shrinking: Glulam is dried to built-in moisture. Therefore the natural shrinking, swelling, and associated leaks and cracking is reduced
High fire resistance: The calculated combustion value of softwood is only 0.7 mm/min. In contrast with other building materials the combustion behaviour is safe and predictable (load bearing capacity is retained longer than for steel constructions)
Earthquake-safe: Glulam enables earthquake-proof construction
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Raw material from the best forests, factories with their own production control, regular external inspections by independent institutes, and complete documentation are the principles of binderholz quality assurance.
LOGISTICS PLANNING
binderholz logistics department has optimum solutions for prompt and reliable delivery.
PROFITABILITY
Processing: simple and quick
Prefabrication: short assembly times thanks to high level of prefabrication
Small component dimensions: saving potential by using components with high load bearing capacities
ENVIRONMENT
Climate: CO2 remains a long-term compound in components made from wood and does not result in pollution to the atmosphere
Sustainability: The wood used originates from sustainable managed forests
Transport: The low weight of timber reduces transport costs and harmful waste gases
Natural resistance: Wood is corrosion-resistant and behaves favourably to chemical aggressive substances. There is no need for chemical wood protection when used properly
Recycling: Glulam is environmentally friendly, can be recycled or used for thermal utilisation.
