Arched beams
Arched roofs are an indispensable design element in today’s architecture, where glulam can show off all its strengths. Simple design, high efficiency, low dead weight and low beam heights cannot be surpassed by steel and concrete when using glulam. The result is light, transparent constructions that offer a high intrinsic architectural value. It should be noted that thinner slats are used from a radius of curvature ≤ ~ 7.00 m, which noticeably increase production costs.
