Glulam Tall Wall

Capitalizing on the design values and weight advantages of glulam, our Tall Wall structural framing system expands the potential for builders to maximize the benefits and flexibly utilize Rosboro's industry-leading engineered wood products.

Glulams Can Be Used to Design Walls More Than 28-feet High
Rosboro's Tall Wall glulam system has 1.9E, 2250Fb design values, and is lighter and stiffer than most engineered wood products. This valuable combination provides a range of options for building Tall Walls that meet local wind loads.

Tall Wall Columns & Headers: Strong, Consistent and Easy-to-use
Made from laminated Douglas fir, the Tall Wall column-header system has the structural values and product consistency of engineered wood and the ease-of-use qualities of traditional lumber. Glulam Columns match dimensional lumber sizes. Headers match wall widths, which eliminated the need for labor to fill voids left by narrower headers. Full-width headers make attaching clips to columns easier. It's simple to add trimmers and keep mull widths the same using 1-1/2" dimensional lumber.

Specifier's Guide
