Timber columns can be produced in a wide variety of cross-sections (square, rectangular, round), as well as solid construction timber or glulam and take over the vertical load transfer from a static point of view.
Wooden columns are mainly used in skeleton construction. In this construction method, the supporting structure can be separated from the outer wall, unlike in timber frame construction. This makes curtain walls possible. The façade design is then detached from the supporting structure.
This construction method allows for a use-specific division of the column grid and the greatest possible flexibility in the floor plan and façade design. In terms of façade design, there are options between strip, grid and full-surface glazing with floor-to-ceiling mullion-transom constructions.
