Where is laminated wood suitable to apply

Laminated wood is referred to as BSH. Thanks to its unique manufacturing technology, it is a shape-stable material that is resistant to warping, while at the same time offering great variability in use. This is why architects favor laminated wood beams - BSH can meet almost any requirements for shape and also brings a high aesthetic value to the structure.

What is specific about laminated wood

Laminated wooden beams, LLD (laminated wood) or also BSH (Brettschichtholz) – these are all names for one type of product. It is a material made by edge gluing two or more lamellas from solid wood. The lamellas fit together with a toothed connection. The gluing is done with ecologically based melamine resin, through a process of transparent glued joints resistant to weather influences.

BSH laminated beams are planed on four sides and have chamfered edges. Roof structures made of laminated wood reveal the wood structure and thus provide buildings with high aesthetic value.

What properties do laminated beams have

Load-bearing structures made of BSH beams always look great. Investors can choose their finish version as "natural" or "visible". Both are designed for visible structures. The "natural" option may have slight aesthetic flaws (tightly grown knots, repaired spots from fallen knots or resin pockets, holes up to 2 mm), while the "visible" option has a perfect surface without cracks or discoloration.

Laminated beams are produced in several strength classes (GL24h to GL32). The quality of the individual parts is confirmed by electronic control.

Spruce wood is most commonly used for production, while larch is used for structures exposed to weather influences.

What procedures do we use when preparing laminated wood for constructions

The production of laminated wood is ensured for the company KASPER CZ by the Austrian company WIEHAG GmbH, which has over 150 years of history.

KASPER CZ specialists manufacture the structural parts from the supplied material at the woodworking center. For their protection, they subsequently use quality coating systems from Remmers or BASF in shades of stain according to the color sample.

Under the direction of KASPER CZ, a precise assembly of roofs made of laminated wood takes place at the construction site. This is always preceded by individual cooperation with clients, whether they are architects, investors or designers.

Technologies used when working with laminated beams:

• CNC woodworking center Hundegger K2i 1250 (1 pcs)

• Single-blade computer-controlled angle and cross-cut saw (2 pcs)

• Four-blade angle and cross-cut saw (1 pcs)

• Design software R-STAB, RX-TIMBER from DLUBAL

• Construction software SEMA
