Wektor glued beam block 85×85 mm, 3.5 cm thickness, timber construction element

Wektor glued beam block 85×85 mm, 3.5 cm thickness is a laminated timber construction element designed for indoor structural and finishing work. Manufactured from glued layers of kiln-dried wood, this 85 by 85 millimetre cross-section block delivers improved dimensional stability compared with single-piece timber. It is intended for applications that require consistent, straight sections of solid timber for framing, supports, joinery and small carpentry tasks.

Advantages

The laminated construction reduces natural wood movement and warping, ensuring repeatable dimensions across multiple pieces. Its consistent 85×85 mm profile simplifies measurement and installation in joinery and framing jobs. Because it is produced from glued layers, the block offers greater stability and lower moisture-related deformation than comparable solid-sawn sections of the same size. The uniform cross-section also facilitates cutting, drilling and fastening with standard woodworking tools.

Suitable for

• Indoor load-bearing and non-load-bearing framing
• Window and door joinery supports
• Furniture supports, legs and internal framing
• Small carpentry, trims and finishing elements

Key specifications

• Cross-section: 85 × 85 mm
• Thickness (laminate stack): 35 mm
• Material: glued laminated wood
• Intended use: indoor construction and finishing
• Profile: straight, uniform rectangular bar suitable for cutting and machining

How to use

Select blocks with straight grain and no visible defects for structural uses. Cut to required lengths with a fine-toothed saw and plane or sand edges to achieve precise fits. Pre-drill holes for screws or bolts to prevent splitting; use appropriate adhesives or mechanical fasteners rated for the application. For visible joinery, ensure surfaces are sanded and finished with suitable interior coatings such as primer, paint, oil or clear lacquer following the coating manufacturer’s instructions.

Usage recommendations

Store the glued beam blocks flat in a dry, ventilated indoor space before installation to equalize moisture content. Avoid prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct water. When used in load-bearing situations, follow local building codes and, if necessary, consult a structural specialist to verify spacing, supports and fastening methods.
