Larch is one of the most common timbers used for glulam manufacture. Here is a little information about the timber species we work with so often…
It often comes as a surprise to our customers that we import glulam from Germany given that we manufacture it ourselves. Here we explain why we import so often and how it is helpful to both our customers and our industry.
Glulam frames are used in construction to provide a framework for building projects. Long span glulam portal frames are popular for large projects as, as the name suggests, the beams can be created to easily span a wide distance.
Like glulam, modified timbers have become increasingly popular for woodworking projects. The demand for modified timbers is on the rise, but what are they and can they be used for glulam in the same way as hard or softwoods?
Glulam is made from a variety of timbers, both softwood and hardwood. The choice of timber is influenced by factors such as cost, design, suitability, and simply personal preference. Here we look at hardwoods and share some recent hardwood glulam examples.
When it comes to the manufacture of glulam, Douglas fir is probably the third most common timber used after spruce and larch. Here is a little more about Douglas fir you might be interested to know…
Over the years Buckland has created several structures for leisure centres, particularly for buildings that house swimming pools, both commercial and private.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is delivering a shock to supply and costs across the globe. We thought it would be helpful to share what impact this may have for our customers.
Embarking on a new project can be daunting, especially if it is the first time you're taking on any building work bigger than a patio in the back garden!
Recently we spent some time on Higher Sherwell Farm helping Issy and Murray Bryars with their barn conversion.
Despite being a glulam manufacturer, we work with steel a lot. We use steel for bracketry and joins and depending on the project it can often be best to use both materials to achieve the finished result, but which is better?
To create our glulam beams, Buckland timber use locally grown wood as much as possible - we found the sustainability of the project can be a major deciding factor in what materials to use and how a project comes to life.
Buckland are particularly fond of curved designs as they stand out from the crowd. Making a build unique to you is all part of the fun when designing a project; here we share five of our favourite curvy constructions.
