Laminated timber is a factory-produced material made by gluing together (under high pressure) accurately machined lamellas of solid timber. With the installation of the latest Taylor Laminating Press, we can produce laminated timber sections up to 150mm x 900mm x 4.9m. By taking material from our extensive inventory of both hardwood and softwood species (including FSC and PEFC certified) and using the most appropriate glues we have produced a variety of bespoke orders: like solid wood worktops manufactured in the ‘age old way’ – using wide boards, cut in full lengths and random widths (details available on request).
The benefits of engineered laminated timber
It's stronger
because of it's multi-layer engineered construction
It's more stable
because its not like solid timber that tends to distort as it absorbs or expels moisture as it encounters various temperature changes: hence it is less likely to shrink or swell after installation
It creates less wastage
because it eliminates removing defects coming to you already clear of knots, splits and sapwood
It streamlines manufacture
because it is supplied in uniform sections, that can go into making the finished product the minute they are delivered, it creates a cleaner working environment
It's reliable
because the construction ensures the quality is consistently maintained throughout
It's 'greener'
because it is 100% FSC certified, produces a much more efficient use of the logs and reduces the need for unnecessary raw material stock-holding
