LAMINATION TECHNIQUE AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN LUMBER INDUSTRY

Abstract

Laminated wood materials, having increasingly been found a very large usage areas nowadays, can be describedas structural material made by bonding wooden layers or veneers in parallel to grain direction. It is not an easyand economical way to use solid wood materials as one piece in large or curved parts. Because, it is not possibleto remove all of the defects which can be knots, checks and abnormalities in grain orientations. Using onewooden piece in curved parts is not economicial because this increases the loss of wood material and also thisdecreases the strength because of having fibers being cut in diagonal direction. In order to eliminate this,lamination technique has been used. Thus, it can be possible to manufacture high quality laminated woodenmaterials with desired shape and dimensions. In this paper, the manufacture, technology and importance oflaminated wooden materials were discussed.
