Benefits of Glue Lamination
 

• High strength to weight ratio and much higher than equivalent laminated softwood members.
• Corrosion resistant.
• Dampener against noise.
• Very stable, will not dry and crack like solid timber.
• Resistant to chemicals and aggressive environments.
• Lengths and dimensions of products are varied.
• Ability to produce exciting curved architectural shapes.
• Low specific gravity easing cost of substructure.

DESIGN

Modular Design

Designed to meet the requirements of TRADA standards. Lamintsia is a fl exible structural and architectural building system that is offered with full Bespoke design services. Component are designed with modular repetition to facilitate functional and practical design and installation by us or under our supervision.

CAD and Architectural & Structural Detailing

CAD and architectural & structural detailing are prepared by us for each and every project. This process involves our design teams full participation with the clients project management or architectural representatives.

A one stop design and build service is available for direct commissioning by the client.

Structural Analysis

Structural analysis and professional engineers' endorsements are produced for every project where Lamintsia is being used for structural components.
Analysis is undertaken in accordance with British standards unless other destination country standards are proffered.

Connection Details

Lamintsia installation is facilitated by predominantly concealed epoxy based plate and dowel connection methodology.
Depending upon the use and environment the following connection materials are adopted using either dowel, plate or bolt form. Materials include: stainless steel grade 304 or 316L, galvanized mild steel or high tensile steel. Epoxies utilised are Venturer VEP 20 or 60 high strength general purpose epoxy paste.
