PILLAR LAYER FRAME GLUE LAMINATED: PRECISION AND FORM STABILITY
PASSION FOR WOOD
Rubner Holzindustrie introducesnew criteria for building wood frame structures The challenge of precision in the production of standard sawn timber Rubner Holzindustrie is a company operating in the wood industry that since 1996 is part of the Rubner Group, based in Chienes, in South Tyrol, Italy. The Company, which initially was just a local sawmill, was incorporated into the Rubner vertical production chain, and has become a modern sawmill, technically at the vanguard, that can produce sawn wood with extreme precision and of the highest quality. As well as supplying wood to the three big companies in the Rubner Group, which operate in the sector of large glulam structures, Rubner Holzindustrie in the last ten years has concentrated ever more on the second stage of wood processing. Continuous investment in new capabilities and technologies has led to the creation of a new product: KRH, pillar layer frame glue laminated timber.

The specialists of KRH, pillar layer frame glue laminated timber KRH – the strong glulam column for professional construction of wood frame structures in Europe If compared with traditional products, the KRH glulam column for frames is distinguished above all for its exceptional strength and dimensional precision. The use of technically innovative plant and the most modern scanning techniques over the entire production process, starting from round wood selection, to selection of the strips, up to the finished product, guarantees that this product will be of high and constant quality. The use of glues without formaldehyde for bonding the wood strips is another advantage for KRH glulam columns for frames which can then allow the construction of buildings that are healthy, ecological and sustainable. In recent years Rubner Holzindustrie has specialised in the production and sale of KRH, succeeding in establishing a position in the Central and Eastern European markets.
Use and application of KRH, pillar layer frame glue laminated timber KRH products are particularly well suited to all applications requesting maximum dimensional precision and stability of form. KRH glulam columns for frames are used mainly in classic frame structures for homes of all sizes, multi-storey wood buildings, wood construction where the use of formaldehyde glues is not allowed etc. Carpenters and designers prefer KRH glulam columns by Rubner Holzindustrie for the production of the following wood structures: professional wood frame elements for walls and floors, roof elements, indoor walling etc.

„Hiag Handel AG, with its nine locations in Switzerland, is one of the biggest and most important partners to the timber-processing industry. Modern timber construction requires the basic material of the frame timber to undergo the best possible processing. This is where Rubner Holzindustrie understands how to make a high-quality product that has become particularly important on the Swiss market.” Andreas Hofmeier, Product Manager Wood High Tech, Hiag Handel AG

PASSION FOR WOOD The Rubner Group operates in five strategic sectors of activity: wood industry, wood structures, large turn-key projects, wood houses and wood doors. Just as in an orchestra the individual companies integrate in the group to form a single great unit and fully develop their potentiality. The harmonious exchange between the various company sectors has allowed Rubner to reach the highest performance and to penetrate the market, becoming the specialist in the field of made-to-measure buildings in wood. The vertical integration of the Rubner production range covers all the processes and operation phases, from raw materials to the finished project built entirely in wood, ranging from sawn timber to glulam framework uprights, from panels in solid wood to glulam components or complex glulam structures, to wood windows and doors, houses and large turn-key.
