What does GLL do?
We produce the finest logs for log homes in North America. That is because our lamination process is proprietary to us. We have developed and perfected the process over the years. Our specialty is the laminated log. This means that a log home built with our products will provide all of the warmth and beauty that natural products bring yet lacks all the problems associated with timber in its natural state.
What sets us apart:
Virtually no shrinking of the log because they are kiln dried.
Virtually no settling of logs as they dry over time. No construction settling systems are required so a decreased construction time is achieved.
Our logs can have a finish put on them immediately.
Our process kills any fungus or insects living in the wood.
Checking and splits in the wood are virtually eliminated.
Logs and timbers that are straight and remain that way. This nets a reduced construction time. No twisting and bowing. Stack joints remain sealed much better over the years.
Our logs are significantly stronger than the whole timber option for the same log.
Our logs are significantly lighter than whole timber logs. Less water in the wood.
Our logs are ideally suited for arid climates.
Our logs have a higher insulation ?R? value than like profiled whole timber.
We produce specialty logs such as insulated and structural logs and can be fabricated with mixed species woods.
