By eliminating all defects, finger-jointing and gluing small wood pieces together, we have achieved a product that is notably strong and uniform.
A cut above
Glued-laminated timber is a quality product with superior strength that incorporates recent improvements in timber quality and processing. Its demonstrated versatility opens the door to a world of new construction designs. The mechanical properties of Nordic Lam is 24F-1.9E grade meet or exceed those of Canadian-standardized glulam products made from other wood species. Nordic Lam also provides an attractive alternative to other glulam products.
Versatile
Nordic Lam products render new architectural designs possible for all types of school, commercial, industrial, infrastructure, institutional, multiresidential, recreational, and residential construction projects. With glulam's superior strength, large-scale and extra-long-span structures become feasible and yield astonishing and complex architectural results that don’t break the bank! Nordic Lam has redefined how to use black spruce and opened up a world of design possibilities.
