Specialty Glulam Posts & Beams Perth WA

Glulam Timber Posts & Beams

Glued laminated timber, known as glulam, has been used throughout Europe since the early 1900s and in Australia since the 1950s. Strong and versatile, glulam is created using layers of engineered wood that are bonded together with structural adhesives.

Glulam has all the features you expect from wood, including grains and knots. To the untrained eye, it looks like a cut of natural timber. However, glulam’s real value lies in its versatility. Manufacturers can design glulam timber to a variety of shapes and sizes for roof trusses, pergolas, framing for screens and cladding, rails and balustrades. Really, there is no limit to what you can design using glulam.

Raw Beauty


Unlike most other structural timber beams, glulam beams are often displayed as the finished product. It’s no surprise, the warmth and beauty of glulam timber instantly breathes life into a building. Seeing a series of large posts holding up beams that stretch from wall to wall is an impressive sight.

It’s not uncommon to see curved or pitched glulam beams either. The unique manufacturing process makes it possible to create remarkable and memorable structures. While it is the beauty that is admired by onlookers, for builders and designers, Glulam’s strength and workability are the real benefits. 

Is your Glulam Timber Guaranteed?


Not all glulam is used in structural applications but where they do, Austim recommends they are produced by members of the
Glued Laminated Timber Association of Australia (GLTAA). This guarantees that all products comply with Australian Standards (AS 1328).
