limtvirket
Limtvirket is an engineered timber product produced by bonding multiple wood laminations with structural adhesives to form large, stable structural members. The term is used mainly in Nordic and Northern European construction literature and derives from limt (glued) and virket (timber).
Manufacturing involves selecting suitable timber species, cutting into veneers or laminations, drying to a controlled moisture
Properties and performance: limtvirket offers high strength-to-weight ratio, dimensional stability, and the possibility of long spans
Applications include structural beams and columns for buildings, arched members, floor and roof systems, and architectural
Standards and sustainability: limtvirket is typically governed by general engineered-wood standards that cover species, adhesive type,
