The Anthony 24F Glulam is a superior glued laminated beam and header for use where reliable engineered wood applications are required. It is an economical alternative to LVL and PSL in many standard structural applications where the high strength and stiffness values are not really needed. Anthony's Glulam is readily available through stocking dealers. The 3-1/2" and 5-1/2" widths are available which readily match 2x4 and 2x6 wall framing. The 24F Glulam depths also match all joists, truss, LVL, PSL, and I-joist floor or roof framing. The Anthony 24F Glulam uses only readily-available Southern Pine lumber, recognized through extensive testing as the strongest lumber resource available.

To enhance Anthony 24F Glulam quality further, all outer laminations have strict quality control procedures. Each beam has a specific lumber lay-up combination which optimizes 24F Glulam performance. The highest strength lumber is placed in the tension and compression zones, efficiently and optimally using lumber resources.

The Anthony 24F Glulam can be used for window, door and garage door headers, floor edge and center girder beams, roof ridge beams, and commercial beams and purlins.

FEATURES

Dimensional Stability: 24F Glulam is a laminated composite product of high-strength lumber. This randomizes any natural defect so there is greater beam strength and a higher degree of reliability. There is also less likelihood of warping, twisting, checking, cupping or shrinking.

Moisture Control: 24F Glulam consistently averages 12% moisture, which is near equilibrium moisture content.

Building Code Evaluations: Adopted under all major material building codes.

Fire Performance: 24F Glulam falls into the building code category of heavy timber, and therefore has excellent fire performance.

Quality Assurance: 24F Glulam is manufactured in accordance with ANSI/APA A190.1-1992 (Structural Glued Laminated Timber). Plant implemented Total Quality Management, statistical process control procedures and APA – The Engineered Wood Association as our quality assurance program ensure consistent quality and performance in every 24F Glulam.
