Hess Hybrid variants (Western Red Cedar, Padouk, Walnut, from left to right) HESS HYBRID comes with a perfect end grain look 5 advantages at a glance 1. High strengths and dimensional stability 8 Due to HESS TIMBER’S specific manufacturing process of the glulam timber beams it is possible to reach a strength of up to GL 32. The separation of the glulam timber lamellas which have already been glued together and the subsequent renewed gluing bring about the characteristic appearance of the beam’s cross-section of rod lamellas This processing in combination with a respective lamella sorting...

Hess Hybrid // Spruce-Beech Garden center inside view 3. Material efficiency in the best sense 5. New design flexibility for architects With the new HESS HYBRID beams it is possible to direct the use of valuable special types of wood to those applications only which actually require them – that is namely in the beam’s cover. HESS HYBRID beams provide architects with completely new design possibilities for projects in which it is also required to attach importance to visual appearance and aspects. This will also reduce transport expenditure by up to 35 % by reduced weights as opposed to the...

HESS HYBRID // Accoya® HESS HYBRID // Accoya® This variant can be used indoors as well as in roofed exterior areas. Its realization in weather-exposed outdoor areas is also possible by using a larch core. This variant was developed primarily for use in outdoor areas. In weather-exposed settings and under constant change between moist and dry conditions, this beam can be used with a core of European larch. Areas of application include: roofed supports / beams, roof support structures, all indoor and roofed outdoor building components. Areas of application include: roofed supports / beams,...

HESS HYBRID // Chestnut HESS HYBRID // Chestnut HESS HYBRID // Western Red Cedar HESS HYBRID // Western Red Cedar Due to the chestnut wood’s durability, this HESS HYBRID variant is also well-suited for outdoor areas.
