Advantages of Wood Lamination For Modern Applications

Given the escalating log price and emergence of more lower quality and smaller logs into the market lately, wood lamination appears to be a feasible solution for our industry to maintain its status as major producer of high quality timber products. Many advantages are associated with this technology. Judging by the wide acceptance of such products in both structural and non-structural applications globally, one obvious conclusion is that laminated product, when properly manufactured, is as good if not better than a similar product made from one solid piece of timber. The benefits derived also appear to have outweighed any cost increment brought about by additional processing procedures involved. The application of suitable quality assurance procedures also ensure our competitiveness
in international markets.
