Hess Timber Glt Block
GLT BLOCK
GLT BLOCK
A strong composite
Regarding the component width glued laminated timber offers limited possibilities - a fact which is due to the raw timber's limited width. Particularly for those constructions which are under high static load the market standard widths often are insufficient.
Therefore, we glue together timber construction parts and other composite sections to so-called blocks which we develop according to the individual project requirements in cooperation with our customers.

Timber construction
CHARACTERISTICS
-Flexible component widths -Aesthetically appealing -Design and geometric flexibility -Increased fire resistance due to the dimension
AREAS OF APPLICATION
-Multistory timber construction -Multistory houses made from timber -Wide span widths -Industrial and commercial buildings -Constructions under a high static load
DETAIL
For the production of bigger component widths, we can glue together two or more glued laminated beams to a solid block. This is the classic method. Depending on the project and the respective component requirements we also produce sections made up from lamellas which are arranged in a staggered manner.
