Structural Performance

Structural performance is about more than strength alone.

A product must also manage stiffness, deflection, vibration, dimensional stability, connection performance and long-term reliability.

Wesbeam LVL and LVL I-joist products are engineered to support these requirements across a wide range of applications. With the support of technical data and design guidance, project teams can select products that suit the structural demands of the build.

The Benefits

High Structural Strength

Wesbeam LVL is designed for demanding structural applications including beams, lintels, bearers, joists, rafters, wall members and roof framing. Its engineered properties support confident structural design.

Stiffness for Better Serviceability

Floor systems need to manage deflection and vibration as well as load. Wesbeam floor products support strong and stiff floor systems designed for practical performance and occupant comfort.

Straightness and Dimensional Stability

EWP helps reduce the variability found in many traditional materials. Straight, stable members support more accurate installation and more reliable performance during construction and in service.

Long Lengths for Greater Flexibility

Engineered timber can be manufactured in longer lengths, giving designers and builders more flexibility across floors, roofs and structural layouts.
