Visible bolted connections at Rawlings Office, Bristol.

Strong, reliable and well suited to exposed structures where the fixings become part of the overall look of the frame. You can read more about different #GlulamConnections types in our latest blog: https://t.co/ota7GjzRcZ

A closer look at some of the connection detailing from a Marquee project. Steel plates, concealed fixings and precision-machined #timber components all prepared in the workshop. Read more on connection types and where they work best here: https://t.co/ota7GjzRcZ

Busy with a bit of finishing work in the workshop.

Sanding and preparing connection details before components head out to site. Small details, but they make a big difference once everything is assembled and exposed.

Spruce #Glulam rafters and trusses coming together on site, supported by a steel structure for this bespoke build. A great example of timber and steel working together. Good to support Inspired Designs on this one, and see the installation progressing nicely.

Connections in glulam structures affect far more than just how things are held together.

A few #workshop details from a residential #timber project for a bespoke home & garden design company. Some nice machining and #joinery details - from shaped boarding and timber connections through to the roof truss. Always good to see the elements laid out before installation..

Welcome to Oliver, who’s joined us as a trainee Project Manager after studying Forestry and Wood Science. Now getting hands-on across projects - from design through to installation. Good to have you on board, Oliver! #MeetTheTeam #Glulam #TimberEngineering

Every connection matters.

Bolt positions, spacing and timber grain direction are all carefully worked through to make sure the structure performs as intended.

Simple-looking details doing a lot of heavy lifting.

UK spruce #glulam portal frame with concealed bolt connections and custom-designed cruciform apex joints. Good to see the scale of the structure and always interesting to see projects at this stage before everything else starts to close in around the frame. #TimberEngineering

Mac on the “family feel” is something we hear quite a lot, and a good reflection of how we work day to day. He's part of the production team, building #glulam beams in the workshop. Read more about him here: https://t.co/ib4NBTXwav #MeetTheTeam

Great photo of Jack taking in a spruce glulam frame - It gives a really good sense of the scale!

A few more from Camber Sands Welcome Centre - bringing together a mix of timber approaches. We supplied the Douglas fir glulam for the new roof structure, built over the existing buildings. 📸 Owen Vidler Media LTD

Arbour House, Crouch End - a #glulam roof that really defines the space. The multi-pitch structure creates a strong rhythm and varied ceiling heights. Shortlisted for the #RIBA London Awards 2026.

#CLT takes a simple idea and makes it structural. By layering timber at right angles, panels gain strength in both directions - ideal for large floors and walls, delivered to site ready to install. Used here at Wellington Academy to form a two-storey atrium ceiling.

Steel or glulam? It depends.
Glulam suits exposed structures, curves, longer spans + fire performance.
Steel works for tight headroom, heavy loads, speed + budget.
Most projects use both.

#Glulam structures can look complex, but they’re built from simple components. Rafters, purlins, ridge beams, trusses - once you get the basics, it all clicks. We’ve put together a simple glossary:https://t.co/V1dmCQTMsz
