Parallam®
Architectural appearance grade Parallam® is a premier engineered lumber product. Parallam®’s superior strength, reliability and natural beauty help you create heavy timber structures of beauty and quality. Parallam® is engineered to support heavy loads and is often the ideal choice for load-bearing beams. In addition, because of Parallam®'s attractive wood grain, builders have the option of leaving this engineered lumber exposed as an aesthetic feature.
Parallam® is most often used in high profile commercial projects where the owner wants to make an architectural statement and has a desire for the heavy timber look. Parallam® has a more homogeneous, cutting edge look than the lumber look of glulam. It is considered the world’s strongest wood. Parallam® is good for the life of the structure and is an environmentally friendly, renewable resource.
