Why Choose Una-Lam Over Concrete Construction?

Last week, we convinced readers to choose Una-Lam instead of steel. This week, we focus on concrete. What are the advantages of glulam over concrete?

• Greener 
• Glulam is made from sustainably grown wood that is a renewable resource.
• Glulam production has a much lower carbon footprint than concrete.
• Lighter
• Our material is lighter, giving design and installation benefits.
• Easier to Install
• Glulam avoids the costly formwork required for concrete construction.
• It is much easier to make field modifications or corrections to glulam, and you need only simple tools.
• Best of Both Worlds
• Glulam is quick and easy to assemble - like pre-cast concrete, while offering the customization and flexibility of cast-in-place concrete.
• Traffic Ready and Better for Bridges
• Our glulam requires no formwork or curing time, so it can be ready for foot or vehicle traffic minutes after arriving on the jobsite.
