Yes, all FiRP Reinforced glulam beams can be treated. Douglas Fir must be incised prior to treatment. Cupping Will FiRP Reinforced glulam cup when exposed to excessive moisture content? FiRP Reinforced glulam beams will cup less than LVL. All wood expands and contracts as the moisture content varies. Glulam expands and contracts in a near uniform manner, due to the incoming moisture content of the wood used in manufacturing and form the orientation of each piece of lumber used.
