Why Glulam
Why Glulam
Wood science and premier research universities have claimed engineered wood to be the most sustainable and soothing construction material. Glulam has originated from the authenticated process of glued laminated timber, in which relatively smaller lengths of wood with opposite grains after removal of defects are combined together to create longer and stronger lengths. It also involves a surface-to-surface adhesion process called finger- jointing.
Glulam Timber is much more stronger and durable as compared to continuous length of solid wood provided the quality of adhesives used in Glued laminated timber is of good quality and it is compressed properly. It may sound simple but it involves dedicated attention to laminate wood, as the direction of grains should restrict movement to add strength. Another crucial content is the GLU – A must have of termite, fire, moisture, rot and fungal resistant properties.
What makes us unique ?
It requires critical perfection to execute this process every time. We feel proud to have learned this process and we are keen to demonstrate how we perform this art at its best. Usually, experience with wooden doors and windows goes bitter because of recurring problems like warping, jamming, termite, rot & fungal, very less or no thermal & sound insulation. The coatings on the door and windows crack & chip off very soon. At GLULAM We follow a strict quality adherence policy and apply best practices to ensure none of these problems would surface. Starting from using a precisely seasoned wood with moisture content (8 to 12%) to final stain and installation.

Performance and sustainability are simple expectations of every Customer and we leave no stone unturned to justify them. Kindly have a Look at our guarantees.
OUR PROCESS
1. Procurement of superior most timber
We strictly procure FAS or F1F grade termite resistant solid wood obtained through controlled deforestation. Only well seasoned, knots & crack free, matured woodlot qualifies for the next stage post multiple quality checks.
2. Production of glued laminated timber sections
Now to obtain sturdier, longer or customized sections, every minute imperfection/s such as knots, cracks, bee holes insect or water channel, sapwood etc. are at first removed. Than, using top grade D4 certified glue, defect free shorter sections are joined by finger jointing and multi-layering techniques glulam sections are prepared.
3. Machining with the latest world class assembly line
At this stage we pay due importance to what is very important. Latest generation, extremely precise CNC machines extend zero deviation to crate slots for hardware, sealing gaskets, smoother surface finish and solid joinery.
4. Coating to define elegance and exceed guarantees
Wood breathes and so does our water-based, micro porous, non-toxic stretchable PU coating. Countless layers and coats are applied in our paint-shop to achieve desired elegance and flawless contrast. The goal is that it should remain intact for years to come and no cracks or chipping should take place.
5. Assembling to perform for decades to come
Selected hardware, gaskets and glass are installed with utmost care and precision at this stage. Pre and post quality checks are carried out in the presence of quality team for uniform functioning. International standards are followed to test performance and packaging.
6. Quality oriented dispatch & installation to client’s satisfaction
Dispatch & installation is a demanding process hence thorough inspection of the site, routing and careful loading and unloading is done under expert supervision. World-class techniques are deployed to install doors & windows for life and a final touch-up for that long lasting effect.
