Introducing GLT Beam 15 from Hyne Timber

Our friends at Hyne Timber are proud to offer their new GLT Beam 15. As they transition away from GLT17, the new Beam is designed and manufactured to be strong and reliable.

Rigorously tested, the Beam 15 can replace LVLs, steel, and GLT17 for large openings like windows, door openings, garage door openings, and even roof beams. When used for exterior, above ground applications, it is recommended to use the H3 treated GLT15. Manufactured in Australia, this product will be available for your structural needs.

Hyne’s glue laminating process enhances the strength of timber, this helps ensure that the product is comparatively lightweight and enhances the structural integrity of timber.

Thinking of adding a feature to your modern design?

Modern design articles talk about creating features that wow, and the right use of exposed beams is feature to achieve complete the look. The Beam 15 can be used as exposed rafters, adding a natural element to the space while also delivering a durable structure for the roof.
