Overview

e-beam is an Australian-made LVL engineered from sustainably sourced timbers for Australian construction conditions. With longer lengths and a strength-to-weight ratio higher than timber or steel beams for the same application, e-beam can often eliminate the time and cost of crane hire.

e-beam is designed and made to exceed the requirements of all relevant Australian standards. e-beam LVL has many advantages over traditional building products, including its uniformity of engineering properties.

How long can LVL beams span?

The maximum span of LVL depends on the loading conditions and application type, as well at the available length of the product. Wesbeam e-beam and e-joist is available in lengths up to 13.2m and in a range of thicknesses including 35mm, 45mm and 63mm with depths from 90mm to 400mm. Maximum sizes varies by state, please contact your local customer service team for further details.
