e-chord engineered for stronger structural connections

LVL produced for the sole use as a truss chord for pre-fabricated roof trusses.

e-chord F17 is a reincarnation of the previously produced “e-beam+[F17]”, and as such can be used in place of e-beam+[F17] in proprietary frame and truss software.

Engineered for straightness, dimensional consistency and reliable performance, e-chord is manufactured in Australia from sustainably sourced timber veneers and is available ex-stock in a range of section sizes and lengths.

Where it is used

  • Bottom chords in prefabricated roof trusses

Performance benefits

  • F17 performance: Provides the structural performance of an F17 hardwood substitute while offering the consistency of engineered LVL.

  • JD3 joint grouping: Suitable for nails, bolts and screws, providing greater flexibility in connection design.

  • Consistency: Engineered for straightness, dimensional consistency and predictable performance.

  • Handling: High strength with a lighter weight than many traditional hardwood alternatives
