Calvert Company, Inc. Quality Manufacturers of Glued Laminated Beams and Arches Custom-manufactured to distinguish your design As one of the oldest continuous glulam manufacturers in the U.S., Calvert Company was founded in 1947 and brings more than 50 years of experience producing high quality glued laminated beams. Two manufacturing plants in the Pacific Northwest Washougal and Vancouver, Washington produce glulams for both commercial and residential projects around the world. Calvert Company s production capabilities provide customers with great flexibility and versatility. One call will source glulam for nearly every need custom homes, ski lodges, restaurants, retail stores the list is virtually endless. Products include large, straight beams for commercial projects; curved and arched glulam for custom applications; stock beams; high-strength GL3000 beams for engineered floor systems; fabricated beams and glulam trusses; high quality export beams; turned round columns and many other custom products. Calvert Company has a long-standing reputation for good service and high quality. Whether your order is shipped down the road or across the Pacific, you can expect to work with knowledgeable people who know glulam. And because Calvert Company is a member of APA Engineered Wood Systems (APA-EWS), all beams are produced to the strongest quality requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard A190.1. Calvert Company is a member of the APA-EWS, JAS Certified and approved by the city of Los Angeles, the city of Seattle & many others. Calvert Company is also FSC / SmartWood Certified for Chain of Custody by the Forest Stewardship Council.

The Header & Beam Alternative GL3000 Figure LVL Lamination Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) Core LVL's very high tension parallel to grain strength makes it ideally suited as an outermost tension lamination for glulam. LVL has better mechanical properties and dimensional stability than sawn lumber. And, because it is manufactured in long lengths, it is not necessary to introduce an end joint into these laminations. This eliminates one of the key variables controlling the strength of conventional glulams. Design properties of 30F-2.1E means that GL3000 has an allowable bending stress of 3000 psi, which is 24% higher than conventional glulam, and a modulus of elasticity of 2,100,000 psi or about 17% higher than traditional glulam. GL3000 On-Site Design properties for GL3000 glulams have been verified by APA based on full-scale beam tests and the use of a computer simulation model developed by APA called Glulam Allowable Properties (GAP). Data can be found in EWS publication Y117, Glulam Design Properties and Layup Combinations available at www.apawood.org. GL3000 is supplied as a balanced layup, which means it has the LVL laminations on both the top and bottom of the beam (see upper left corner). This eliminates a common concern in the field regarding beams "installed upside down". The GL3000 glulam is manufactured with zero camber for easier use in floor framing applications. It is touch planed after gluing to achieve proper width. GL3000 is competitively priced against all other 3000F products including LVL and PSL. GL3000 comes in I-joist compatible depths of 91/2 ", 11 ", 14" and 16". In addition, 20", 22" and 24" and custom depths are available upon request.
