Glulam Beams

All of our non-standard sized beams are bespoke. Glulam beams can be manufactured from a range of different timbers and treated with stain, varnish, oil, and where necessary, treated with a fire retardant.

Our glulam beam supply service is broadly split into two categories –

• Imported standard straight spruce beams from Germany – currently on monthly deliveries
• In house manufacture of pretty much everything except standard straight spruce beams – ie. alternative species, oversize sections or lengths, and of course curved beams.

Stock sized imported timber

Straight spruce beams are predominantly imported from Germany monthly, with regular loads received. If you are a contractor, you can find out how to take advantage of this service here.

In house beam manufacture

Straight beams (or more simply, beams!) are manufactured using alternative species to Spruce like Redwood and Larch (Siberian and UK grown). Other timber species are available, including Douglas Fir, Oak, Ash, Sweet Chestnut and others on request.

In house manufacture is used for long span or large projects, curved beams or beams required on a shorter lead time (a two-day lead time is possible). We can manufacture straight beams in sizes up to 235mm x 1600mm x 25m.

The standard glulam sizes for spruce, redwood and larch beams are shown below.
