Beams General Information
The term glue-laminated timber refers to an engineered, stress-rated product comprising parallel assemblies of wood laminations, finger-jointed at the ends, and face laminated with exterior-grade adhesives. Filler King uses the best grades of Douglas Fir laminating stock and adhesives the industry has to offer. No short-cuts are taken when producing a magnificent surfaced structural wood member.
Each beam is manufactured to a stress-rated formula as set forth by AITC. The lay-up of the beam prescribes the high grades of lumber on the bottom and top to establish the stress grade (f) of the member. When the customer specifies the grade, e.g., 2400 f architectural appearance, the beam is manufactured to the stress grade, size, and finish required. Filler King manufactures straight or cambered beams to lengths up to 76' in straight or cambered requirements. Beams can be finished to industrial, architectural, premium, or rough-sawn appearances. The grades of architectural and premium beams are planer surfaced and sanded.
Fabrication service is also available. Shop drawings can be developed, or customers' drawings can be used for fabrication in the beam finishing department.
