GLT Hybrid

PERFECT SYNERGY

Using synergies is, put in other word, the combination of different things for their mutual benefit.  This idea has been seized with the production of  the glued laminated timber GLT HYBRID, a product representing the perfect synergy of two types of wood which have been combined to a premium and efficient product. Normally, the core cross section consists of a standardized and profitable type of wood, for instance of spruce. The outer beam layer is, however, built up from a higher-value wood type such as oak, chestnut or Western Red Cedar.
