Glue-laminated beams or glulam is a type of engineered wood product made by fixing several pieces of timber together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Glue-laminated beams Market is expected to grow significantly during the forecasted period. Factors such as the increasing demand for wooden structures dominating the residential sector are expected to drive the need for the Glue-laminated beams market in the forecasted period. Further, Increased adoption of sustainable and environmentally friendly products and usage of engineered wood for buildings are projected to drive the need for the Glue-laminated beams market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the Extensive use of glue-laminated timber in manufacturing a wide range of roof beams, floor beams, wood-based residential buildings, and structural applications is expected to drive the need for the Glue-laminated beams market in the forecasted period. However, the moisture-absorbing capacity of wood is expected to hinder the Glue-laminated beams market in the forecasted period.
The residential sector dominated the market. Glue Laminated Beams (Glulam) are structurally engineered beams bonded with moisture-resistant adhesives. These are used as straight beams, columns which include lintels, ridge beams, floor beams, purlins, tied rafters, trusses, tied arches, and curved beams. Glue-laminated timber provides high resistance and stiffness in corrosive and exposed environments and provides thermal insulation. The market for glue-laminated timber is increasing by its expanding applications across several industries. Glue-laminated timber is a broadly available and sustainable material that offers flexibility in shape and size. As a result, it finds applications in various areas, such as household framing, architecture, industrial construction, etc. It's manufactured using moisture-resistant adhesives to combine pieces of lumber to form longer lengths. The lumber used to manufacture glue laminated wood is of a specified grade and is purchased directly from lumber mills.
Glue laminated lumber, or glulam, is a versatile material used to make anything and comes in a wide range of sizes and colors. It comes in a large extent of sizes and colors. It is well-known for both its appealing appearance and its durability. The advantages of laminated glue timber include a high weight carrying capacity and low density, ease of work using simple tools, quick construction, extended span lengths, and superior thermal insulation.
Glued laminated timber is ideal for residential and commercial construction, owing to which its demand is increasing for new infrastructure construction. Glue laminated beam has a good strength-to-weight ratio in comparison with other laminated timber. Also, it has excellent bearing capacity. Due to its high durability with perfect humidity and chlorine levels, glulam provides a durable, low-maintenance solution that has increased its demand in flooring & roofing, housing framing, and other constructional infrastructure. Due to their dimensional stability and high strength, glue laminated beam is much better than solid wood, as concrete wood beams have cracks but glulam beam remain stable for many years and retain their aesthetic beauty. Consumer preference for wood-based construction (engineered wood) due to its durability, high thermal performance, and lightweight is predicted to propel the market growth over the forecasted period.
Europe region dominated the global market share. With the increasing construction sector in countries such as Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, and France, the utilization of glulam is increasing in the region. This timber's praiseworthy features have led to its use in various applications throughout the construction industry. Additionally, due to its high cost, glue-laminated wood is one of the most look-after and innovative materials in interior design. Although glue-laminated timber is less widely utilized than mortar and concrete, its use in the building sector is growing. The desire for aesthetically pleasing designs has also brought glue-laminated wood to my attention. Glue laminated timber's quality and durability, among other reasons, are responsible for market development and maturity. Additionally, the usage of glue-laminated wood in the construction of residential and commercial ceilings has accelerated the global market's growth. Glue-laminated timber is also used to create specialized furnishings. The increasing demand for high-quality furniture has played a significant influence in driving sales across the globe. Furthermore, permanent scaffoldings used to improve the appearance of structures are made of glue-laminated timber. Laminated timber is frequently used to make slabs and beams for laying plastic shelters. Glue-laminated timber has no harmful environmental effects. Glulam outcomes have a natural place in an eco-cycle society. The engineered wood is recyclable and renewable, while its manufacture is based mainly on bio-energy.
Glulam beams are very efficient to produce. The energy required to make glue-laminated beams from the log is only a fraction of the energy needed to produce steel or concrete. Glulam has superior earthquake resilience and excellent resistance to fire than any other construction material. Hence, its outstanding structural performance and flexibility in esthetic design will improve the demand for glulam timber. Building & construction leads the glue laminated timber market as glulam construction provides superior strength and stiffness over dimensional lumber, and pound-for-pound is more vital than steel. Glue-laminated timber is used for prominent curved or arching members to build vaulted domes, roofs, and bridges. Wood-based wood is highly durable and capable of generating large pieces and unique shapes. It has the ability to bear the load. Hence, it is utilized in green building material, which increases the demand for laminated glue timber. Thus, the development in green building construction is predicted to influence the glue laminated beams market growth.
The market's key players are Boise Cascade Co ., Setra Group AB, Canfor Corporation, Pfeifer Holz GmbH, and Calvert Company Inc.
