Structural Performance Advantages
EWP delivers strength, stiffness, straightness and dimensional stability across floor, wall and roof systems. Wesbeam products are supported by span data, characteristic properties and design guidance.
Performance designed into every member
Every structural product must perform in the context of the project. Load, span, stiffness, vibration, fire, acoustic performance, treatment requirements, compliance pathways and site conditions all influence the right product selection. Wesbeam supports customers with Australian-made LVL and LVL I-joist products, technical documentation, Structural Engineering + Design expertise and compliance resources to help make performance easier to understand and easier to specify.
Fire Performance & Compliance
Fire performance depends on complete system design, correct detailing and appropriate evidence. Wesbeam provides tested floor system information, compliance resources and technical guidance to support project teams.
Sustainability & Environmental Benefits
Manufactured from responsibly sourced timber, Wesbeam EWP supports renewable building solutions, certified supply chains and environmental transparency through available sustainability documentation.
Treatment Levels
Different projects require different protection pathways. Wesbeam LVL includes e2S glue-line termite resistance as standard, with H2 and H3 LOSP treatment options available for selected applications.
Fire Performance Further Explained
Fire performance starts with correct design
Fire performance is a project-specific design consideration. Requirements may vary depending on building class, application, fire-resistance requirements, linings, protection systems and the broader construction assembly.
What to consider
Building classification and NCC requirements
The structural role of the member
Required fire-resistance levels if applicable
Protective linings and tested assemblies
Connections, penetrations and detailing
Current Wesbeam and industry fire test reports
Designers should use current Wesbeam documentation, relevant Australian Standards and project-specific engineering advice. Wesbeam technical support can help identify the correct resources and documentation pathway.
Treatment Levels Further Explained
Choose the right treatment level for the right application
Engineered timber products must be selected for the environment in which they will be used. Treatment level requirements can vary depending on whether the member is used internally, externally, above ground, in termite-risk areas or in other exposure conditions.
What affects treatment selection?
Internal or external application
Above-ground or exposed conditions
Geographic location and termite risk
Preservative treatment requirements
Limitations of use printed on the product and in technical literature
How Wesbeam supports treatment decisions
Wesbeam provides treatment level documentation, product labelling and technical support to help project teams understand where each product can be used. Always confirm the latest treatment requirements before specification and installation.
