6 advantages of Long-span structures

Architectural Flexibility

Without the need for pillars, Alpbau's glulam wood structures range in size from small canopies to large indoor stadiums with spans up to 250 meters.

Enhanced Strength

The spatial-grid design of glulam structures equally distributes loads, enhancing operational reliability.

Lightweight

Alpbau Struktura requires less foundation material and builds quicker because it is five times lighter than comparable metal or reinforced concrete structures.

Wood

Glulam wood is aesthetically pleasing, environmentally friendly, and long-lasting. It draws attention to the architecture's interior and exterior design elements.

Resistant

The chemical stability of glulam wood and stainless-steel connectors extends the lifespan of buildings.

Fire Resistance

Glulam wood smolders in a fire rather than igniting, retaining its ability to support weight for at least 45 minutes at temperatures as high as 900 degrees, giving people time for evacuation.
