Nordic Lam+

Nordic Lam+ Engineered Glulam

Nordic Lam+ is a next-generation glue-laminated timber system. Small lamellas, tight-grained black spruce and precise manufacturing deliver exceptional stiffness, stability and a refined visual appearance for exposed beams and columns.

With a wide range of sizes and strong environmental credentials, Lam+ is an ideal solution for mass timber roofs, frames and hybrid structures.

LAM+ Advantages

Lam+ uses small lamellas and responsibly managed black spruce forests to deliver both technical performance and a premium exposed-wood finish.

  • Small lamellas make highly efficient use of the forest resource and allow more widths and shapes.
  • Black spruce is harder to bend, shear or compress than any other standardized Canadian wood species.
  • Nordic’s forest operations go beyond regulatory requirements, protecting habitats and long-term forest health.
  • From harvesting to installation, wood is far less carbon-intensive than concrete and steel and stores approximately 765 kg of CO2 for every cubic metre used.
  • The consistent tone and fine grain of black spruce provide a uniform appearance with less visible glue lines and excellent stain performance.

Warm exposed timber roof using Nordic Lam+

Timber roof systems maintain a natural warmth and character that steel and concrete cannot match.

Where Lam+ Performs Best

Nordic Lam+ is well suited for long-span roofs, exposed beam-and-column frames, entrance canopies and hybrid structures that pair glulam with CLT or steel. The high strength grade and dimensional stability of black spruce support efficient designs with slender members and clean details.
