Glulam
Cullen Timber Design have worked with the country's foremost suppliers of glulam post and beam frames to design and detail many and varied structures which utilise glulam beams. In doing so, we have been part of the vibrant, creative and innovative teams that employ this material to its fullest potential. Buildings have been curved, round, helical, vast, practical and impressive. These are among the most challenging but rewarding projects that we have been involved with. Our expertise in this particular field of timber detailing is second to none.
