In the ever-evolving world of timber products, laminated and modified woods stand out as innovative solutions that combine the natural beauty of timber with enhanced performance characteristics. At International Timber, we’re proud to offer a comprehensive range of these cutting-edge products to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
Laminated timber, also known as engineered wood, is created by bonding layers of wood together. This process results in a product that’s often stronger and more stable than solid timber. Our range of laminated timber includes:
- Glued Laminated Timber (Glulam): Ideal for large structural applications
- Cross Laminated Timber (CLT): Perfect for walls, floors, and roofs in modern construction
- Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL): Offers exceptional strength for beams and columns
These laminated products offer several advantages over traditional solid timber:
- Increased dimensional stability
- Greater strength-to-weight ratio
- Ability to create larger and more Complex structures
- Reduced waste in manufacturing
modified woods, on the other hand, undergo various treatments to enhance their natural properties. At International Timber, we offer several types of modified woods:
- Thermowood: Heat-treated timber with improved stability and durability
- Accoya: Acetylated wood with exceptional resistance to rot and decay
- Kebony: Furfurylated softwood that performs like tropical hardwood
These modified woods provide benefits such as:
- Enhanced durability and longevity
- Improved resistance to moisture and decay
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Eco-friendly alternatives to tropical hardwoods
At International Timber, we understand that choosing the right product for your project can be challenging. That’s why our expert team is always on hand to provide guidance and advice. We can help you understand the specific properties of each laminated and modified wood product, ensuring you select the perfect option for your needs.
We’re also committed to sustainability in all our operations. Our laminated and modified wood products are sourced from responsibly managed forests, and many of the modification processes we use actually extend the lifespan of the timber, reducing the overall demand on forest resources.
Whether you’re working on a large-scale construction project or a bespoke furniture piece, our range of laminated and modified woods offers innovative solutions to meet your requirements. With International Timber, you can be confident in the quality, performance, and sustainability of your chosen products.
