Cross Laminated Timber Glulam Texture

For mass timber specification of appearance grade varies by product.

Cross laminated timber glulam texture.

When used in heavy timber construction glulam ensures high earthquake resistance and excellent resistance to aggressive substances. In glued laminated wood there is only a small risk of defects such as large knots occurring in the same cross section. Download seamless clt and glulam textures taken from the design building at umass amherst. According to structurecraft cross laminated timber clt panels are formed by stacking and gluing together successive perpendicular layers of wood.

Cross laminated timber glulam and glt panels have enormous potential in this industry to significantly reduce the carbon footprints of new buildings. Normal and bump maps are available as well as a revit project file and material library with the textures already loaded in. Glulam may be manufactured with outer laminates of higher quality than the inner laminates. In comparison to traditional building materials sustainable wood products produce far less co2 while absorbing and sequestering carbon from our atmosphere.

The layered stacks are then pressed in large hydraulic or vacuum presses to form an interlocked panel. Glulam glue laminated timber has almost the same load bearing capacity as steel but a far lower weight and excellent fire resistance due to its charring characteristics.
