Laminated Columns
Our Laminated Columns are made from southern pine components joined with waterproof Resorcinol adhesive by a proprietary system.
The Laminated Columns are a step up. Traditional timber columns are prone to warping and cracking in a short period of time after installation. This can be exasperating for both the homeowner and builder. Laminated timber columns are lighter, easier to handle and much less likely to twist than traditional solid columns and they have the handsome appearance of veneer-encased timbers without requiring the extra construction time.
The Laminated Columns are structural and can be used in place of fiberglass or aluminum columns to create a substantial cost savings. These square laminated timber columns are available in cross sections from 4×4 to 12×12.
