Cross Laminated Timber Glulam Texture

Aesthetic expectations for cross laminated timber clt and nail laminated timber nlt are agreed upon between the building designer and manufacturer fabricator and described in the product specifications whereas grades for glued laminated timber glulam are standardized.

Cross laminated timber glulam texture.

For mass timber specification of appearance grade varies by product. In a solid wooden beam however a single knot can significantly impair its strength. Normal and bump maps are available as well as a revit project file and material library with the textures already loaded in. The lamination effect for glulam.

In comparison to traditional building materials sustainable wood products produce far less co2 while absorbing and sequestering carbon from our atmosphere. Cross laminated timber glulam and glt panels have enormous potential in this industry to significantly reduce the carbon footprints of new buildings. The layered stacks are then pressed in large hydraulic or vacuum presses to form an interlocked panel. Glulam glue laminated timber has almost the same load bearing capacity as steel but a far lower weight and excellent fire resistance due to its charring characteristics.

Glulam may be manufactured with outer laminates of higher quality than the inner laminates. Download seamless clt and glulam textures taken from the design building at umass amherst.
