Company Archiline is going to be represented by its glulam products. Archiline Log Houses will present its products and services at this exhibition, whose activities are related to the design, manufacture, construction of wooden houses from profiled glued beams and round logs. Some words about that.

Glued laminated timber is a processed construction material which is made of natural timber. Please find below some general rules which help to safeguard the longevity of a timber construction and help to preserve its excellent optical appearance.

PREPARATION AND PLANNING

If the timber construction is unprotected against weather conditions, the application of an effective preservative treatment for the structural elements has to be considered during the planning process.

Stacking

With regard to the handling of the connection elements the swelling and shrinkage properties of timber should always be considered besides the aspects of the static calculation.

TRANSPORT AND ERECTION

It is very important to avoid staining of the glulam members because the cleaning procedure i very complicated and in most cases a few persisting vestiges of soil remain visible. Slight stainings and impressions of the surfaces are inevitable and hence permitted. Due to the large dimension of glulam beams in combination with a small sideways stiffness, it is necessary to care for proper storage, tilt protection and bracing during transport, interim storage and erection. In order to avoid that the edges of the beams are damaged, heavy- weight lifting straps and edge protectors should always be used for the lifting of the material. With regard to the assembly and erection, it is important that the glulam members are adjusted accurately, so that unintentional eccentricities can be prevented. If this is ignored, there may be the risk of extensive additional stressing which has not been considered in the static calculation. Any drillings or cuts, that seem to be necessary for the assembly, may only be implemented after consulting the structural engineer. The roof and external wall areas have to be closed rapidly after the timber construction has been completed, in order to avoid that the timber absorbs too much humidity. It is strongly recommended that transport packaging is removed promptly, because otherwise perspiration water may accumulate within the wrapping, resulting in mould or blue stain attacks. Afterwards, the structural members have to be covered appropriately, so that they are protected against staining and moisture penetration. If trapezoidal roof coverings have been applied, the adjoining beams may be stained by rain water and cylinder lubricant. This effect can be prevented, if the trapezoidal roof coverings are drilled in the middle, so that the rain water and the lubricant cannot contact with the beam. In order to avoid the staining of t may also help to insert sealing tapes into the joint.
