Advantages of glued laminated timber

nd emphasize the good taste and high status of the owner of the house.
Solid timber (for example, oak) can be used to make windows. But such material has an unstable geometric shape, since wood of any species dries out, deforms and cracks over time. Glued window timber is more practical in this regard.

The popularity of windows made of this material has grown rapidly in the last few years. Despite the relatively high cost (compared to plastic double-glazed windows), many domestic consumers choose it.

The dimensions of the material vary

And this is not surprising, because glued laminated fantuan data (for example, from larch) has a lot of advantages, including:

optimal humidity – glued timber for windows is made from several lamellas, which allows for better drying of the wood, whereas in the case of solid timber this is not always possible;
the possibility of sorting – during the production of the material, such wood defects as knots, cracks, damaged areas, and rot are eliminated;
stable geometric shape – the timber is glued together from several lamellas with mutually opposite arrangement of wood fibers, which reduces internal stress and prevents deformation of the wood;
strength – thanks to the use of modern adhesives, glued beams are several times stronger than solid wood.
Which material to choose
Glued laminated timber can be made from various types of wood. Typically, pine, larch and oak are used for this. The first option is the most affordable – the price of such timber is much lower than the cost of similar materials from other types of wood. This feature is explained quite simply – pine is easy to process and dries quickly.

The second option is larch. This material will cost a little more than pine window beams. The fact is that larch contains more resin, which complicates its drying and production of beams. But at the same time, the material is less susceptible to rotting - even without treatment with special substances.
