🚧 Project Update 🚧 Last week, Syd Birnie and Kenny Clubb were on-site in Durham, overseeing the installation progress of a brand new warehouse building! 🏗️ This project is an exciting one, involving the assembly of impressive 28m-long glulam roof beams and associated timber purlins, all skillfully connected to a series of steel columns—14m up in the air! 🌤️🍂 With autumn closing in and using a large mobile crane for these high-altitude tasks, our team is working with precision and care to bring this structure to life. Proud to partner with HESS TIMBER and TAYLORMADE TIMBER PRODUCTS LTD on this project! #Construction #ProjectUpdate #TimberEngineering #WarehouseBuild #Durham #HessTimber #TaylormadeTimber

Today is World Mental Health Day 2024 and this year’s theme is ‘mental health in the workplace. In Scotland, almost 1 in 4 people will experience mental health challenges each year, and the workplace plays a crucial role in supporting wellbeing. Mental health in the workplace is a vital conversation, and the design of our surroundings can significantly impact it. One surprising solution? Timber. Creating workspaces made from wood can directly enhance employee mental health and productivity. Here’s how: 🧠 Boosted Productivity: Natural timber environments promote focus and concentration, helping to increase productivity. 🧠 Reduced Stress: Studies show that wood’s calming aesthetic and natural properties help reduce anxiety and stress, fostering a more positive atmosphere at work. 🧠 Better Sleep and Heart Health: Timber’s organic elements contribute to improved sleep patterns and lower heart rates, creating a healthier workplace culture. At Glulam Solutions ,we are committed to creating sustainable and health-promoting work environments using Glulam and CLT. If you’re considering how wood can transform your workplace for both the environment and employee wellbeing, reach out to us at enquiries@glulamsolutions.co.uk. Let’s build workplaces that support both mental health and sustainability. #Glulam #CLT #Timber #EngineeredWood #MentalHealth #WMHD2024 #WorkplaceWellbeing #Sustainability #WorldMentalHealthDay #TimberDesign #Environment

Glulam Solutions is proud to be part of the Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc in Dundee, where creativity and eco-friendly design meet. The stunning timber frame designed by Holmes Miller reduces the carbon footprint while creating a space that, as our clients Scottish Enterprise, Dundee City Council and Michelin described, "𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐲." This project is proof that sustainability doesn’t have to mean compromising on innovation or comfort. 💚 Want to start building with timber?
