1 FINNFOREST GLULAM INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED WOOD SOLUTIONS

2 FINNFOREST GLULAM INDIVIDUALLY DESIGNED WOOD SOLUTIONS Finnforest glulam is made of sawn structural timber. No fewer than four lamellas are cut along the grain, which are then finger-jointed and glued together to the desired size. Glulam is an ideal material for the load-bearing structures of wooden buildings where long spans are desired. Finnforest glulam is made of Nordic premium timber. The slowly growing pine and spruce grow in the boreal forest zone where the soil and climate conditions mean that the forests grow slowly. The wood material becomes dense-fibred, small branched, solid and durable. Finnforest glulam is a response to the builder s needs. Shape, dimensions and finishing can be freely chosen. The glue is weather-resistant, and the customer can choose between dark or light glue, depending on the level of visual attractiveness. 2

3 ADVANTAGES FOR THE BUILDER DESIGN FLEXIBILITY Large range of standard dimensions Manufactured to specific dimensions Cross sections and lengths can be optimized Beams can be straight, cumbered or curved Easy to combine with other materials STRONG AND FIRE RESISTANT Excellent strength properties based on dense-fibred Nordic premium timber Low weight compared to its strength R30 fire resistance class In cases of fire, glulam retains the structure s stability longer than other materials due to slow charring VISUALLY ATTRACTIVE Visual and aesthetic demands concerning wood and surface treatment are easy to meet EASY TO MACHINE AND ASSEMBLE All machining can be done at the factory Quick erection even in all weather conditions On-site machining can be done with normal hand tools ECOLOGICALLY SUSTAINABLE Wood is the only 100% renewable raw material Wood supply and the manufacturing process have certified chains-of-custody according to the PEFC forest certification system Manufacturing wood products is less energy-consuming than for other building materials Bioenergy, produced by burning by-products such as woodchips and sawdust, is mainly used in the manufacturing process Wood acts as a CO 2 storage and over a longer time span does not emit any net CO 2 THINK ENVIRONMENT, USE TIMBER STRUCTURES Every cubic metre of wood used as a substitute for other building materials reduces CO 2 emissions to the atmosphere by an average of 1.1 tonnes of CO 2. Add this to the 0.9 tonnes of CO 2 stored in wood, each cubic metre of wood saves a total of 2 tonnes of CO 2. For example, a 10% increase in the percentage of timber frame houses in Europe would produce sufficient CO 2 savings to account for 25% of the reduction prescribed by the Kyoto Protocol.
