The English and German of laminated timber have been translated into laminated materials, which are often confused with single-layer laminates. For this reason, the names of sheet laminates or thick laminates have also been used.
The original name of the laminated material in the form of a Chinese character includes a material glued with an adhesive and a material that is mechanically joined by hardware or nails. Therefore, it is not clear that this material is called a laminate. However, the first factory in China to produce this material adopted the name of the laminated timber, and the name of the subsequent established production plant was used. In order to facilitate the production and circulation of this product, the name of the laminated timber was often used.
Glulam is a term used by domestic universities and scientific research departments. It highlights the use of adhesive gluing. The title is relatively clear, so the glulam is also called glulam.
