Wesbeam provides technical information and compliance resources to help builders, engineers and specifiers understand how LVL and LVL I-joist products can form part of fire-rated timber systems when designed and detailed correctly.
Understanding Fire-Protected Timber
Timber systems can be designed to meet relevant fire performance requirements when protected by appropriate fire-rated linings, detailing and supporting documentation. Requirements vary depending on building class, construction type and project conditions.
Tested Floor System Support
Wesbeam e-beam and e-joist products can be used in lightweight floor and ceiling assemblies achieving 90/90/90 and 120/120/120 Fire Resistance Levels.
Detailing Matters
Fire performance depends on correct installation and system detailing, including linings, furring channels, fixing clips, insulation, cavity barriers, service penetrations and junctions between building elements.
Designed for Bushfire Prone Areas
Wesbeam LVL and I-joists can be used as part of internal and protected supporting timber-framed structures in any BAL design under AS3959. Learn more
Support for Design and Specification
Wesbeam can help project teams understand available documentation, product applications and system considerations. Final compliance must be confirmed by the relevant project professionals and certifiers.
