Applying the finishing touches to a curved glulam section in the workshop. A lot of work goes into the shaping and finishing of curved components before they leave the factory - especially on exposed timber where every detail stays visible. #Glulam #Timber #Workshop

Moving a curved #Glulam section through the #Workshop... Getting components like this from one stage to the next takes planning, coordination and a good team around it. A nice look #BehindTheScenes at the scale of some of the pieces we work with.

Hertfordshire House, using resin-anchored #glulam connections. These concealed connections keep the steelwork hidden within the #timber, creating clean lines and uninterrupted surfaces throughout the structure. Read more about glulam connection types here: bucklandtimber.co.uk/blog/a-…

Visible bolted connections at Rawlings Office, Bristol. Strong, reliable and well suited to exposed structures where the fixings become part of the overall look of the frame. You can read more about different #GlulamConnections types in our latest blog: bucklandtimber.co.uk/blog/a-…

A closer look at some of the connection detailing from a Marquee project. Steel plates, concealed fixings and precision-machined #timber components all prepared in the workshop. Read more on connection types and where they work best here: bucklandtimber.co.uk/blog/a-…

Busy with a bit of finishing work in the workshop. Sanding and preparing connection details before components head out to site. Small details, but they make a big difference once everything is assembled and exposed. #Glulam #Timber #Workshop

Spruce #Glulam rafters and trusses coming together on site, supported by a steel structure for this bespoke build. A great example of timber and steel working together. Good to support Inspired Designs on this one, and see the installation progressing nicely.

Connections in glulam structures affect far more than just how things are held together. Our latest blog looks at common connection types and where each works best: bucklandtimber.co.uk/blog/a-… 📷 Gold star if you can name the three pictured. #TimberEngineering #Glulam

A few #workshop details from a residential #timber project for a bespoke home & garden design company. Some nice machining and #joinery details - from shaped boarding and timber connections through to the roof truss. Always good to see the elements laid out before installation..

Every connection matters. Bolt positions, spacing and timber grain direction are all carefully worked through to make sure the structure performs as intended. Simple-looking details doing a lot of heavy lifting. #Glulam #TimberEngineering #StructuralTimber

UK spruce #glulam portal frame with concealed bolt connections and custom-designed cruciform apex joints. Good to see the scale of the structure and always interesting to see projects at this stage before everything else starts to close in around the frame. #TimberEngineering

Mac on the “family feel” is something we hear quite a lot, and a good reflection of how we work day to day. He's part of the production team, building #glulam beams in the workshop. Read more about him here: bucklandtimber.co.uk/blog/me… #MeetTheTeam

Great photo of Jack taking in a spruce glulam frame - It gives a really good sense of the scale! #Glulam #TimberEngineering #StructuralTimber

A few more from Camber Sands Welcome Centre - bringing together a mix of timber approaches. We supplied the Douglas fir glulam for the new roof structure, built over the existing buildings. 📸 Owen Vidler Media LTD
