binderholz_glulam

binderholz is a comprehensive supplier of glulam products, specialising in both straight and custom-shaped beams. Glulam is made by bonding at least three timber lamellas, arranged parallel to the grain.

Through strength grading and the homogenisation of these lamellas, glulam achieves superior load-bearing capacity compared to traditional construction timber. Its high load-bearing ability, dimensional stability, versatile product range, and excellent surface quality make it ideal for a wide variety of applications in construction.

Glulam GLT standard

Glulam is manufactured as standard units, in any length, dimension,strength class and surface quality based on customer requirements. Through the sustainable development of the Jenbach site in recent years, foremost in the productivity, the yield and the quality in combination with smart IT and software solutions, the site has geared up for cost and technology leadership in the laminated timber industry. The processing time of an order, regardless of the diversity of dimensions, is at most 8 hours from the first production step of finger jointing to loading. This process is monitored in plant 3 by only one employee using 40 large-screen monitors.

For all completed GLT packages, an automatic rack warehouse has been built in which up to 850 individual packages or 2,000 m³ GLT packages can be stored at a time. The process of storing and removing the packages from storage is fully automated using a specially developed warehouse management program without which a punctual, fault-free and damage-free processing would not be possible. Another novelty is that we pre-load all loads in a loading lane wherever possible. In 3-shift operation, therefore, up to 35 truckloads per day are pre-loaded on two loading bays.

Advantages:

binderholz’s glulam GLT is uncomplicated, fast, lightweight and of course stable.

Glulam GLT ceiling elements

Due to the high degree of prefabrication, binderholz’s glulam GLT ceiling elements can be laid in the shortest possible time to immediately walkable raw ceilings. The underside of the ceiling elements can also be manufactured in visible quality on request. The elements are optimally protected against transport and handling damage by special packaging. Thanks to their state-of-the-art production facilities, they deliver the BSH ceiling elements in visual quality with a sanded surface. Their glulam can be used not only for ceilings, but also as a wall and roof element.

Wood has been an intelligent raw material to binderholz. Why?

Wood is a fascinating, versatile and intelligent material that plays an important role for us humans in many different ways. In addition to its important role as a provider of well-being, protection and wood as a natural raw material the young tree in the forest fulfills another valuable function: it extracts harmful CO2 from the air, binds carbon C and releases oxygen O2 into the atmosphere.

Glulam GLT specialities

Glulam special components are beams with dimensions that go beyond the standard measurements but also shapes such as pent roof beams, sloped beams with straight bottom cords, curved beams and free shapes.
