Glued laminated timber is designed with solid wood perfectly suited for construction. It is one of the most used for the realization of cladding and structures, wall panels and other elements for buildings.
Glued laminated timber is one of the quality products developed for construction, manufacturing of panels and entire structures for contemporary wooden houses, sometimes with passive energy and high energy performance.
A specific glue is used to ensure the strength of large length panels. The manufacturing technique of glued laminated timber includes different steps for expert realizations intended for framework, flooring, structural beams for large buildings, etc.:
The rough planks are joined end-to-end. The slats are sorted then dried. A glue-based product holds them together.
Every project is analyzed in detail: the section calculations take into account the desired resistance and performance. Quality glued laminated products dedicated to construction, manufacturing of panels and structures for all types of buildings, are made in sawmills.
80% of the wood supply is done within a radius of 80 km around Mignovillard in the Jura. The harvesting of fir and spruce trees is done in forests located between 700 m and 1300 m altitude.
This represents 100,000 m3 of white softwood sawn per year. To cope with this production, Chauvin Sawmill developed 15 hectares in 2014 on which 2 production lines were set up as well as 6 drying units.
