Balanced Layup

This Nordic Lam product is made with a balanced layup and no camber, ensuring level structural openings. Field use is facilitated and costly installation errors are eliminated with the layup design. Labor savings alone make Nordic beams and headers an effective solution for typical construction details. Glulam products from Nordic are easy to work with.
