GLUED LAMINATED TIMBER BEAMS
STRUCTURAL ARCHES
We specialize in the production of arches with thin lamellae and minimal bending radii
Beam Parameters
- Bending radius: R≥1080 (according to Eurocode 5 6 mm x 180)
- Lamella thickness: depending on the bending radius, 6-18 mm according to TCLwood618®
- Width: from 30 mm, ≥240 mm – block gluing
- Height: up to 1800 mm
- Length: up to 19 m
Technical Specifications
- Wood types: Scandinavian spruce, Scandinavian pine, European larch, Douglas fir, other wood species (upon request)
- Adhesive: polyurethane, waterproof, class D4, light joint
- Strength class: GL24h, GL28h according to EN 14080:2013
- CNC processing: according to technical correspondence (drilling, formatting, cutting and milling with high precision – we can produce the most complex details from files: IGS, SAT, DWG/DXF, BTL, using fully automated large-format 5-axis)
- Coating: KORASIT NG colorless
What are Structural Beams (Structural Arches)?
These are structural elements made of multiple thin wood lamellae glued together under pressure, which can be formed into any shape
Applications
- Construction: production halls, roof structures, indoor and outdoor pool structures, glamping structures
- Garden architecture: pergolas, gazebos, terrace roofing, shelters
- Interiors: decorative elements, furniture, exhibition stands
- Reconstructions of damaged elements in historic structures
Advantages of Using Structural Beams
- Strength: due to their construction, structural arches are very strong and resistant to loads
- Flexibility: ability to create structures of any shape and bending radius
- Fire resistance: high level of fire safety
- Quick and easy assembly: precisely manufactured elements facilitate and accelerate assembly
- Ecology: wood is a natural and renewable material
