For over 60 years laminated timber (Glulam) beams and structures have been produced in the UK. Over recent years huge advances have been made within the timber engineering field to produce high volumes of quality laminated timber.
The advances in timber grading coupled with modern glues and precision planing have brought engineered structural timber back to the forefront of design. The exceptional strength of Glulam makes it well suited for use in the load bearing structures of buildings with long spans when architectural natural finish is required.
Today most people are aware of climate change and timber is seen as one way to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry, Hybrid structures are becoming more popular, normally a steel framework supporting straight or curved Glulam members.
Newnham Structures Ltd offer a complete solution of the structural steelwork, Glulam, CLT and Cladding generating great cost, time and quality savings to any Client. Incorporating our ideas early in the design can lead to excellent Value Engineering opportunities.
