Over recent years, a family of engineered wood products has been developed and introduced which provide architects, designers and builders with more choice and ability to use wood products in situations where conventional timber would not always be viable.

Engineered Products such as Glulam (Glue laminated timber), LVL (laminated veneered lumber) and timber I-beams are commonplace. Other lesser known variations include parallel strand lumber, ‘Parallam’ and ‘laminated strand lumber’.

All are able to offer the aesthetic and environmental benefits of wood along with additional properties and strengths often associated with materials such as steel or concrete.
