limtredrager
Limtredrager is a Danish term used in the construction and architectural sectors to denote a load-bearing member made from glued laminated timber, or limtræ. In practice, limtredrager refers to beams or girders formed by bonding multiple layers of timber with structural adhesive, producing a strong, straight, and dimensionally stable member that can span longer distances than solid timber.
Etymology: the term combines lim (glue) and træ (wood) with drager, reflecting its function as a carrier
Manufacture and properties: limtredrager are engineered wood products produced according to standards such as EN 14080.
Applications: used as beams and girders in floors, roofs, and long-span structures; suitable for curved forms
See also: glulam, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), cross-laminated timber (CLT), timber construction, EN 14080.
