Question 1

What makes glulam better than solid log?

Glulam (glue-laminated timber) offers engineered stability with no settling, approximately 70% greater structural strength than solid log, and consistent dimensional accuracy. It eliminates the shrinkage and twisting common in solid timber, making it the preferred choice for permanent residential construction.
