Structural timbers are rectangular or square timber products designed for load-bearing and supporting structures in various construction projects. They are made of solid or glued timber and are known for their strength, stability and versatility. Structural timbers are often used for roof structures, frame houses, mezzanine floors and other timber structures where a reliable and long-lasting support system is required.

Timber offers several advantages. They are readily available and easy to handle, allowing dimensions and shapes to be adapted to specific needs. Glulam beams are particularly resistant to warping and cracking thanks to their layered structure. Natural wood also provides excellent aesthetics, making the beams suitable for both interior and exterior applications. In addition, structural timbers have good thermal insulation properties, which helps to maintain the energy efficiency of the building.

Nowadays, timber is treated with a variety of preservatives to improve its resistance to moisture, insects and fires. This treatment is particularly important for outdoor structures such as terraces, canopies or bridges. High-quality structural timbers guarantee longevity and safety in both residential and industrial buildings.
