The Boot Factory in Bondi Junction showcases the transformative potential of mass timber in adaptive reuse, retaining its heritage brick shell while introducing an all-new internal structure formed from Australian-made, glue-laminated MASSLAM elements.

Exposed mass timber columns and a striking sculptural roof structure define the interior, while an inverted parallel laminated timber flooring system delivers exceptional structural performance and visual interest.

MASSLAM 45

MASSLAM 45 is ASH’s brand of glue laminated (GLT) mass timber systems including columns, beams and floors.

Manufactured specifically for large-scale commercial construction projects. MASSLAM 45 uses Australian Oak due to the high strength-to-weight ratios compared to timbers worldwide. The only glue-laminated timber in Australia to hold EWPAA certification.

Suitable applications:

  • Mass timber columns
  • Mass timbe beams
  • Timber/concrete composite floors (ATC)
  • Parallel laminated timber
  • Mass timber stairs

These samples are cross sections of a typical mass timber column or beam, intended to provide an accurate representation of the appearance and scale of these elements. As such, they are substantial in size and weight, and generally reserved for architects and building firms working on commercial, large-scale developments. If you are looking for structural timber (traditional F17 or laminated and finger-jointed SUPALAM F17 for an architectural look, please select the Australian Oak Uncoated sample.
