Homemakers Furniture, Tiffin, IA · Glulam on steel columns

You’ve seen mass timber in a lobby. Have you seen it in 220,000 square feet?

Mass timber. Emphasis on massive.

Some of the most ambitious projects built with our glulam.

Homemakers Furniture, Tiffin, IA

Our glulam. Your steel.

Our beams sit on the steel columns of a 220,000-square-foot showroom now taking shape. The warmth of timber. The steel you know.

Academic Wood Tower

14 storeys. No concrete core.

Normally the elevator core is concrete and the timber hangs off it. Here the core is timber too.

What steel teams ask first

How does the cost compare?

We’ll help price our glulam package and define the scope, so you can compare it with your steel option.

Can our crews install it?

Steel erection experience is a useful starting point. We’ll discuss connections, handling and lifting requirements with your erector.

Can you meet our schedule?

Share your target date. We’ll review design, production and delivery timing with you.

Do we need a project ready?

No. Let’s start with the kinds of buildings your clients need.

Put timber on your next steel job.
