Mass Timber

MASSLAM is a glue-laminated (GLT) mass engineered timber solution from Australian Sustainable Hardwoods (ASH). Accelerating the use of mass timber in Australia is a known pathway to significantly assist with decarbonising the construction sector and contribute to Australia’s goal of achieving net zero by 2050. Additional benefits including construction speed, sustainability and occupant well-being solidify MASSLAM as the modern construction choice for architects, specifiers and builders alike.

MASSLAM utilises uniquely attractive Australian timbers like Australian Oak (Tasmanian Oak) and Plantation Oak, chosen because they have some of the best strength-to-weight ratios of any timber species worldwide. ASH’s glulam timber systems (including columns, beams, and floors) are manufactured at our Australian-owned timber plant in Heyfield, Victoria.

Our mass timber solutions are designed and manufactured for assembly by our highly-skilled team of MASSLAM designers and engineers and are intended for large domestic and commercial structures. The skill and experience provided by our in-house MASSLAM team is unmatched. Experience the consistency and ease of dealing with the same project manager from conception through to completion.

Solidifying our position at the forefront of mass timber design and manufacture in Australia, ASH have three state of the art robotic CNC machines providing enhanced processing capacity that allows longer spans, higher ceilings, increased floor space and lesser beam depth. Better still, mass timber provides unbeatable cost and time efficiencies when compared to conventional construction materials like concrete and steel.

ASH’s MASSLAM is the only mass timber glulam in Australia to hold Engineered Wood Products Association of Australia (EWPAA) certification.

All this equates to ASH being industry-leaders and providing the best mass timber system in Australia.
