Glulam Beam Manufacturer
Custom Glulam Beams for Structural Timber Applications
Glulam beams provide structural solutions for mass timber construction and complex architectural design. We manufacture custom glulam beams and heavy timber truss components to precise specifications, supporting long spans, efficient structural layouts, and reliable performance. Detailed shop drawings ensure coordination, fabrication accuracy, and efficient installation.
Certified Glulam Manufacturing and Structural Performance
Our glulam beams are manufactured to recognized industry standards with certified processes, third-party quality control, and full material traceability. Available in species including Douglas Fir, Hem-Fir, Southern Yellow Pine, and Alaska Yellow Cedar, beams are produced in a range of sizes and finishes to meet structural and project requirements.
Sustainable & High Performance Glulam Beams
Glulam beams are engineered wood products made from renewable timber, offering long service life and strong structural performance. They support low-carbon construction while delivering durability, strength, and dimensional stability for mass timber applications across commercial, institutional, and multi-family buildings.
Certified Glulam Manufacturing & Quality Standards
Our glulam beams are manufactured to ANSI A190.1 and APA–EWS standards, with CSA and JAS certifications. Chain of custody certification through FSC® and PEFC ensures full traceability, supporting compliance, quality assurance, and responsible sourcing for mass timber construction projects.
Structural Timber Species for Glulam Beams
We offer glulam beams in Alaska Yellow Cedar, Douglas Fir, Southern Yellow Pine, and Hem-Fir, each selected for strength, stability, and durability. This range supports structural performance and architectural requirements across diverse mass timber and engineered wood construction applications.
Glulam Beams and Columns
Our glulam products have been used in a wide range of mass timber projects, supporting architects, engineers, and contractors in delivering high-performance timber structures. The following case studies highlight representative projects where our glulam beams and columns played a key structural role, demonstrating the versatility, efficiency, and architectural impact of engineered timber in modern construction.
David Rubenstein Treehouse.
The David Rubenstein Treehouse at Harvard’s Enterprise Research Campus is a three-story mass timber conference center featuring exposed Alaska Yellow Cedar glulam beams and columns supplied by Western Forest Products, creating a warm, sustainable gathering space.
Barbados National Performing Arts Center.
The Barbados National Performing Arts Pavilion features a striking mass timber structure with sweeping roof canopies and expressive timber framing. Alaska Yellow Cedar glulam beams and columns supplied by Western Forest Products create a visually dramatic, sustainable venue.
Piner High School.
At Piner High School, a two-story classroom building uses prefabricated construction to support grades 7–12. Alaska Yellow Cedar fabricated glulam beams and columns supplied by Western Forest Products contribute warmth, strength, and sustainability.
Mass Timber Professional Services.
Our mass timber services integrate design assist, cost planning, CNC fabrication, and installation support to improve constructability, reduce risk, and deliver predictable outcomes on construction projects.
Mass Timber Design Assist Services
Design Assist
Design assist integrates mass timber expertise early in the design process to optimize structural systems for cost, constructability, performance, and schedule. We work alongside architects, engineers, and contractors during design development to align timber systems with fabrication and installation requirements.
Mass Timber Cost Planning and Coordination
Project Management
We support mass timber projects from concept through design development with cost planning, system comparisons, and quantity take-offs. Our team develops cost models and identifies value engineering opportunities to improve project economics while maintaining structural performance.
CNC Fabrication for Mass Timber Components
Fabrication
Our mass timber fabrication process combines CNC machining with skilled craftsmanship to produce precise, installation-ready components. Coordinated 3D models support complex geometries and integrated connections, reducing lead times and minimizing on-site delays for efficient timber construction.
Mass Timber Logistics and Installation Support
Logistics & Installation Support
We support mass timber installation with prefabrication, connection hardware supply, and coordinated delivery. Preinstalled components reduce on-site labour, improve installation accuracy, and accelerate erection, helping maintain construction schedules and overall project efficiency.
