1 - Verso Glulam: Ecological High-Quality Product from Finland

2 Ecological sustainability with glulam Glulam, with superior strength properties, has been developed alongside traditional timber products. Versowood Glulam is produced from Finnish strength graded sawn spruce and pine by gluing pieces together in layers. As a result of the gluing, the living of wood is reduced considerably, resulting in an ecological construction material that features specific measurement and shape in all directions. Versowood manufactures both standard-sized glulam products and tailored project products. Glulam is especially suitable for sites where long spans are needed in load-bearing structures. Finland is among the world s best tree growth areas. The growing season is extremely short, only 100 days a year. From 60 to 120 years are required to grow a full-size tree from a seedling. The slower a tree grows, the higher is the quality of the resulting timber: the knots are scarce and small; the trunks are straight, symmetrical, hard, tough, dense, and straight-grained. Moreover, Finnish timber is low-resinous and evenpatterned. Timber is also an ecological choice, since it is the only fully renewable construction material and forests are growing more wood than required for the industry s needs. 2 Glulam brochure

3 Why choose glulam? EASY INSTALLATION AND MACHINING Machining can be completed at the factory. Installation is independent of weather or time of year. On-site processing can be performed using conventional hand tools. Glulam can be delivered machined and cut to the required size; at the installation site, no waste is generated and work goes faster. Dry building technique; a glulam framework withstands full load immediately after installation. ECOLOGICAL PRODUCT FROM FINLAND Timber is the only fully renewable construction material. Raw timber is acquired in accordance with PEFC forest certification. Manufacture of timber products consumes less energy as compared to other construction materials. Timber structures can bind carbon dioxide for hundreds of years. Virtually no construction waste is generated, since glulam products are generally tailored to the installation site. The shavings and sawdust created in the course of manufacture are used for bioenergy production. Timber products can be recycled without any harm to the environment. Made of 100% wood, Key Flag Symbol product. Timber construction materials improve indoor air quality, incl. balancing of indoor air humidity. STRONG AND FIREPROOF Excellent strength values owing to dense-grained Nordic timber. Excellent strength-to-weight ratio, lower transport, installation, and foundation costs as compared to other materials. Glulam is stronger than steel by its strength-to-weight ratio. In case of fire, owing to the slowness of charring, glulam maintains its structural strength longer as compared to other materials. The charred surface slows down combustion of the core part and fire propagation. Excellent service life if used correctly. The oldest wooden buildings in Scandinavia are more than a thousand years old. FLEXIBLE DESIGN A wide range of standard sizes. Project sites are tailored to the dimensions specified by the customer. Easy to combine with other materials. The beams can be straight, elevated or arched. Expert design services are available from us. Glulam beams are suitable for structures of various sizes. Long spans allow for flexible use of space. VISUALLY IMPRESSIVE Glulam structures allow spectacular and architecturally ambitious solutions. The beautiful and vivid wood surface is maintained even after various surface treatments. A number of different wood surface treatments can be selected: wood preservative treatment, lacquer coating, etc. YOUR PARTNER IN GLULAM CONSTRUCTION: SOLID SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE Versowood manufactures standard and tailored glulam at the factories in Vierumäki, Hartola and Heinola 90,000 m3 per year.

4 Standard glulam products Versowood manufactures various standard-sized glulam products, which can be used as is or further processed if required. The extensive selection of standard solutions includes affordable options, for example, when used as the supporting structures of buildings. Spruce lamellas are usually used as the raw material for glulam, but Versowood also manufactures standard products from pine lamellas. Versowood also provides other standard glulam solutions for the needs of builders, such as floor beams. The glulam lamellas are fixed using glues suitable for outdoor use. A load-bearing column or beam produced from strength graded sawn timber that can also be split. The glulam is produced according to strict standards in a quality-controlled environment. Verso glulam products belong to the standard strength class GL30c, split glulam products comply with strength class GL30cs.
