e-beam
engineered LVL beams

Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) has many advantages over traditional building products. It's high strength to weight ratio and its availability in longer lengths (up to 12.6m) makes LVL an obvious choice in modern construction, especially when large spans are required.

e-beam is a product developed by wesbeam, and complies with AS/NZS 4357 Structural Laminated Veneer Lumber. It is manufactured from Maritime Pine veneer, and glued using a phenolic adhesive.
