Una-Lam vs. Conventional Framing Lumber

Over the past two weeks we have examined our glulam’s advantages as a building material over steel and concrete. We now turn our attention to an often-used wood product – framing lumber. Why should you choose Una-Lam for your next building project instead?

• Attractive Appearance
• You can leave our structural glulam exposed because of its finished look.
• Longer Spans 
• Create more dramatic shapes and column free areas with Una-Lam.
• Fewer Pieces and Pre-Fabricated
• Our material and connections come pre-fabricated, saving time and money on the jobsite.
• We can even ship some structures pre-assembled.
• Fire Resistant
• Heavy timber construction with glulam maintains its strength longer and does not spread fire as quickly as lumber framing.
