SHAWOOD premium structural materials
Bringing out the strength of the wood to the fullest
SHAWOOD uses 120mm glue laminated wood as structural material for its posts and beams.
Glue laminated wood refers to construction material that glues together multiple layers of wooden boards called lamina.
This method eliminates the cracks and imperfections in the source wood, overcoming one of the disadvantages of solid wood, while bringing out the intrinsic strength of wood to its fullest.
This highly reliable structural material is used in the largest wooden domes in the world, as well as in state-of-the-art sports stadiums.
Why use glue-laminated material?
Using different materials for different structural members
A building is made of posts and beams. Both have to endure different types of loads requiring different strength characteristics.
With SHAWOOD structural materials, the strength of the materials used can be tailored to suit the intended purpose and location.
By layering each thin lamina, it is possible to eliminate all imperfections in the wood, thereby maintaining strength and quality.
Structural material with consistent strength
Stable and consistent strength, thanks to rigorous strength management
Even glue laminated wood has its limits.
However, in order to guarantee consistent structural calculations, the structural material has to have consistent levels of quality, as well as consistent strength.
With SHAWOOD, each lamina is monitored for strength and graded according to its level of strength when making the beams.
By gluing together the lamina with the right levels of strength in the optimum combination, we manufacture beams with maximized strength.
