Setra offers both a standard and fully customised glulam range produced in our modern factory in Långshyttan. The raw material is certified and locally sourced from the surrounding forests.
Setra Glulam
Setra glulam is a renewable, strong and dimensionally stable building material suitable for structures that demand high load-bearing capacity and strength, while also being fire-resistant and relatively light.
Glulam
We know glulam
We have gathered experience, know-how, experts and wood professionals in our Timber Industry Centre in Långshyttan. We provide experience and inspiration in project planning and construction solutions, and of course logistics and transport, to make your project run as smoothly as possible. We produce glulam, glulam beams, posts and CLT with respect for the raw material in our modern factory. We have been working with glulam for over 50 years, so we know it inside out.
We may not be the biggest, but that doesn’t matter. Being relatively small means we can be fast and flexible. As a customer, you will notice that we care and want to get to know you. Being reliable is important to us and we like to cultivate our relationships over a long time.

Glulam opens up possibilities
Glulam offers great opportunities for architects, designers and others to create their own shapes, whether they are designing a house, the roof of a public building or a wooden bridge.
Glulam has many advantages in terms of strength and durability, compared with other materials such as concrete and steel, and is often used together with CLT and other materials to optimise the structure. It is both efficient and a time saver.
Building with glulam is also dry, clean and quiet because you can use traditional hand tools. This is much appreciated by both the builders and local neighbours. And then the end result is a pleasant environment in which to spend time.
