EkoHomes Timber
Timber. Architecture without unnecessary limits.
Glulam structures combine strength, precision and the natural beauty of timber.
Glued laminated timber
Glulam (GLT) is made by bonding thin timber lamellas along the grain. The result is beams and posts in long lengths and large sections, with predictable structural properties and visual quality.
Glulam and KVH
KVH is a solid structural section finger-jointed to length. Glulam consists of several lamellas bonded through the depth – it allows longer spans, curved forms and more demanding architecture. They are distinct structural timber products.
Post-and-beam construction
Beams and posts carry loads to points, so walls need not be load-bearing. The layout stays free, the façade can open into large glazing, and the structure can be designed individually for each project.
