Attention to detail

As glued-laminated timber specialists we are thorough with every process to ensure the highest quality finished product.

Innovation

Our Resix® system was developed so that we could design and build complex projects requiring a high degree of expertise therefore making more difficult designs feasible.

Timber Selection

Most Glulam projects tend to be manufactured from Spruce. We have found that some projects require a different species whether for the final appearance or for an external solution. Not only can we supply your project in Spruce but also Larch, Oak, Beech, Ash, Chestnut, Red Cedar. If you have another preference we can most likely supply it.

Examples of what we can manufacture

We make the following columns, beams, timber frames, cladding, mezzanine structures, stairs, steps and panels.
