Glulam Log Cabins can either be amazing, or absolute nightmares to purchase.

If you are looking to purchase a Glulam log cabin, then it’s critical that it’s bought from with in the EU and that their certification is not from outside the EU.

EU companies have incredibly strict guidelines on the adhesives to be used for dwelling and none dwelling, plus companies situated, and certified with in the EU have very robust timber grading guidelines, which means your glulam Log cabin is the best it can be!

 

Firstly, if a reseller is bragging that their company they purchase from has manufactured say the largest Bridge, stadium, or public bridge, then ask to see photos of these buildings, structures, etc.

Then ask to see the certification from either a German laboratory or some EU institution, which gives credible grading and certification.

If they can provide this, then check and see if there certification is for dwelling purposes, or glulam bridges, as this is two different processes and completely different certification.

 

CE certification on Glulam log cabins is not enough! CE means absolutely nothing where adhesives are administered, and structural calculations needed. Do not be fooled by some smooth talking resellers.

 

Dwelling certification is very important, due to the adhesive compounds used in manufacturing a glulam log cabins. If the compound were to be toxic, then your nights in the log cabin of your dreams,,,((( could be very deadly! )))

 

That’s why it is so very important to purchase your glulam log cabin from EU certified companies, and not look for a cheaper alternative and put yourself in danger.

 

Another reason to purchase glulam log cabins from with in the EU is the timber which is used for the laminating process.

 

If you look carefully at the photo in this blog, you will notice very small and very few knots on this immense glulam beam, the reason for so few knots, and absolutely no dark knots is that this timber, is graded timber.

Graded timber is so incredibly important when manufacturing glulam bulks; it really is the difference in life and death, as many of our timber elements are used in large projects, where their structural integrity is imperative.
