Our production process
The beam is manufactured industrially from coniferous timber of northern cut, not lower than grade 2, as well as FSF plywood (coniferous, birch). Solid timber is used to manufacture the upper and lower shelves. At the customer’s request, depending on the estimated load, the thickness of the plywood used is 24 or 27 mm. Gluing is carried out under pressure, using imported special glue. The ends of the beams are protected with rubberized varnish or plastic tips. To protect against moisture, the beam is treated with weather-resistant protective paint, which significantly extends the service life of the products, and also allows multiple use in the manufacture of formwork.

Catalog of beam BDK-1

Beam BDK (glued laminated timber beam), also called — crossbar. — is a formwork component used in the construction industry in the construction of monolithic structures. The beam has a structure consisting of the following elements (see pictures): upper and lower shelves and walls, which are connected to each other using glue and a toothed tenon.

The STANDARD beam is made of high-quality large-format plywood and wood. The beam walls are made of 24 mm thick FSF grade plywood, which complies with GOST 3916.1 and GOST 3916.2.

The beam walls are made of 27 mm thick FSF grade plywood, which complies with GOST 3916.1 or GOST 3916.2. The highly water-resistant plywood used for the walls consists of outer layers of birch veneer of at least grade II, which guarantees high moisture resistance and durability.
