Teak Glulam

Our structural beams, columns, and panels are made from recycled teak offcuts from furniture manufacturing. The teak is finger-jointed and laminated into full-size structural timber, combining strength, dimensional stability, and the natural appearance of teak.

Rather than sourcing new-cut timber, our glulam production runs on teak offcuts that would otherwise go to waste from furniture production, plus reclaimed teak from other sources. Short, irregular pieces are finger-jointed into long, structural-grade lengths, then laminated together under pressure into glulam beams. Any resulting sawdust feeds directly into our bio-composite production line, so very little of the input material is lost.

Our glulam beams are available in sizes up to 190 × 190 mm and lengths up to 6.2 m. Beams are laminated under 0.8–1.2 N/mm² clamping pressure and finger-jointed using a 12mm profile. They’re used as structural beams, columns, and as joists for the substructure of our bio-composite decking.

Prefabricated glulam construction offers a faster build compared to poured concrete. Glulam beams are manufactured under controlled factory conditions and arrive ready for installation, reducing on-site labor and construction time. The engineered, laminated construction also provides greater dimensional stability than solid-sawn teak, which is more prone to movement caused by humidity changes in tropical climates.

Structural beams and columns for villas, resorts, and other timber-frame buildings, as well as glulam joists used as a substructure for our bio-composite decking systems. Mila Villa, our own prefabricated modular villa brand, uses teak glulam as its primary structural frame — see it in the photos below.
