(1) Laminated timber transforms small pieces of solid wood into the desired sizes and shapes, allowing us to maximize the use of smaller materials while also making the most of lower-quality ones.
(2) Before being glued together, the raw materials used in laminated timber are carefully treated to remove imperfections like knots and rot, resulting in products with fewer defects. Even when some defects remain, they can be strategically distributed during assembly to minimize their impact.
(3) One of the standout features of laminated timber is its ability to retain the natural beauty of wood grain while offering a polished, aesthetically pleasing finish.
(4) The raw materials for laminated timber undergo thorough drying processes, ensuring that even large sections remain uniform in moisture content. This leads to reduced cracking and warping compared to traditional solid wood.
(5) In terms of physical and mechanical properties, laminated timber outperforms solid wood. It exhibits enhanced tensile and compressive strength, along with better material consistency. By adjusting the composition of the layers, its strength can be significantly increased—tests show its strength is about 1.5 times greater than that of solid wood.
(6) Depending on design needs, laminated timber can be shaped into straight or curved forms. Its versatility allows for the creation of specialized cross-sectional structures, such as I-beams or hollow squares, tailored to specific strength requirements.
(7) Laminated timber formed into curves is particularly well-suited for use as structural members in architecture and construction.
(8) Prior to assembly, the boards can be pre-treated with chemicals to enhance durability. This treatment ensures that even long, large pieces of laminated timber have excellent resistance to corrosion, fire, and insects.
(9) Since laminated timber must meet diverse applications, achieving strong bonding and longevity is critical. To ensure these qualities, the manufacturing process demands advanced technology, precise machinery, and rigorous quality control measures.
(10) Despite its advantages, producing laminated timber is less efficient than working with solid wood, leading to lower output and higher production costs.
