Mass Timber Fabrication Services
Precision CNC Fabrication for Mass Timber Components
BK: Our mass timber fabrication process combines CNC machining with skilled craftsmanship to produce accurate, installation-ready components. Using coordinated 3D models, CNC fabrication delivers precise cuts, complex geometries, and integrated connections, reducing lead times and minimizing on-site delays. Specialized manual processing supports curved glulam beams, arches, and custom timber elements.
Timber Protection, Treatments, and Coatings
We provide preservative treatments and protective coatings for mass timber components, tailored to project-specific exposure conditions. Services include coordination with treatment partners and application of coatings for durability, UV resistance, and architectural finish, supporting long-term performance of glulam and engineered wood systems.
CNC Fabrication for Mass Timber Components
CNC fabrication uses coordinated 3D models to produce precise mass timber components, including complex geometries and integrated connections. This improves fabrication accuracy, reduces lead times, and supports efficient on-site installation.
Specialized Manual Processing for Complex Timber
Some geometries require skilled manual processing. Our experienced team performs complex work for curved members, arches, and details beyond CNC capabilities.
Preservative Treatments for Timber Durability
We coordinate preservative treatments for mass timber and glulam components through trusted partners, aligning material protection with exposure conditions, environmental requirements, and long-term durability performance in structural timber applications.
Protective Coatings & Architectural Finishes
We apply protective coatings and finishes to mass timber components, supporting durability, UV resistance, and architectural appearance. Coating systems are selected to match exposure conditions and performance requirements for engineered wood construction.
CNC Fabrication
Using coordinated 3D models, CNC machining produces mass timber components with precise cuts, complex geometries, and integrated connections, improving production accuracy, shortening lead times, and supporting efficient on-site installation.
Manual Processing
For geometries beyond CNC capabilities, our team performs detailed hand fabrication on curved glulam beams, arches, and custom timber elements, ensuring accurate form, fit, and performance in complex mass timber structures.
Preservative Treatments
Through established treatment partners, we provide preservative systems for glulam and mass timber components, selected to suit exposure conditions and support long-term durability in structural and environmental applications.
Coatings and Finishes
Protective coatings and finishes are applied to enhance durability, UV resistance, and visual appearance of mass timber components, with systems selected to meet project-specific exposure conditions and performance expectations.
