1. Supply and Price Security 

From Tree to Trade Wesbeam controls the whole process, ensuring supply security of LVL timber, wherever you are in Australia, regardless of world demand. Our control over the sustainable sourcing of raw timber for Australian forest to LVL delivery across Australia means we're far less sensitive to international market forces, ensuring a secure supply and more stable price of LVL timber. With our national distribution chain, we deliver a staggering 99.2% of orders on time - which is typically next day from placement of order.

Being an Australian LVL manufacturer, our products are not exposed to exchange rate fluctuations effecting imported products. Wesbeam manufactures and sells in Australian dollars, providing much needed price stability to the Australian construction industry.

2. Meticulous Quality Control

Wesbeam LVL products are manufactured to meet or exceed the requirements of Australian Standards (AS/NZS 4357.0). We test more frequently and set higher internal standards than those required. Wesbeam products and processes are third party audited by The Engineered Wood Products Association of Australasia (EWPAA). We’re serious about building better wood.

3. Warranties

Every time you purchase a Wesbeam product you can be confident that every piece meets or exceeds the strict requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and that if it doesn’t, we will replace it - quickly.

4. Australian Sustainable Wood - The Ultimate Renewable 

Harvesting sustainable timber from Australian forests benefits both people and the environment. Australia's world leading sustainable forestry practices make an important contribution to carbon sequestration (capture) and the conservation of water, soil and biodiversity. Wood is the ultimate renewable resource. Wesbeam have sustainable timber forest plantation owned by the Western Australian Government and managed under strict environmental and sustainability regulations by the Forest Products Corporation. 

5. You’re Supporting More Australians 

With over 250 employees nationally, Wesbeam play a big part in providing jobs and opportunities for local Australians, and for every person directly employed by Wesbeam an additional two to three people in the workforce benefit indirectly. That’s the leverage of Australian LVL timber manufacturing.
