Overview - Glulam Adhesives
At Red Stag TimberLab we offer either melamine (MUF) for interior applications or Resorcinol glue for exterior applications; both having a proven history.
Selection of the most appropriate glulam adhesives are governed by the final exposure of the glulam beam – See chart below:
