BSH laminated timber and laminated beams
Components made of laminated timber (glulam) are statically load-bearing, high-quality wooden construction elements. As a result of grading the strength of the base material and the consistency created by layered construction, it is well-balanced and has greater load-bearing capacities than standard timber. Laminated timber and laminated beam timber are produced in accordance with DIN EN 14080 with DIN 20000-3 + DIN EN 15497 with DIN 20000-7.

The service life of wooden components used outdoors can be significantly increased if the issue of wood preservation is considered at the design stage. Otherwise, a component's useful life may be greatly affected by local conditions (high level of ambient moisture, permanent or occasional contact with water, lack of rear ventilation, etc.). On the other hand, favourable installation conditions can also considerably increase service life by, for example, preventing contact with soil or providing cover.

Besides the individual species of wood selected and its natural durability, the service life of timber can be significantly influenced by structural timber protection.
If wood is exposed to high levels of moisture for lengthy periods, it will be damaged by fungal decay. This can be prevented by the proper planning of structural measures to protect the wood at the execution stage.
Where possible, upright, load-bearing timber components should never come into direct contact with the ground in external areas. To protect them from splashing, it is advisable to maintain a minimum gap of approx. 15 cm (mounting on supports).
Horizontal wooden structures should likewise avoid any direct contact with the ground and be kept a sufficient distance from the subsoil. To prevent water from collecting, horizontal areas should always have a slight gradient.
