Glued laminated timber (often shortened to glulam) is a structural engineered wood product made by bonding layers of dimensional lumber with moisture-resistant structural adhesives so the wood grain in each layer runs parallel to the member’s length. The resulting elements can be manufactured in a range of sizes and shapes, including straight members and curved components such as arches and frames used in building structures.
