Beam Application
Manufactured with high grade plantation grown Slash Pine (Pinus Elliottii) in accordance with AS/NZS 1328. Its proven performance gives it broad appeal in both residential and commercial applications.
All components are assembled using only durable, structural grade adhesives. In-house strength testing is validated by EWPAA third-party compliance testing, and it also carries ‘S’ mark certification.
Beam 15 is supplied precambered to a standard 600m radius. The camber assists in reducing deflection and outperforms a straight beam of a similar size due to the effect of the supporting arch. Beams are clearly labelled to ensure they are installed the right way up.
Beam 15 is available treated to H3.1 (LOSP) so it is suitable for use in all internal structural applications.
Advantages:
-Strength - The strength-to-weight ratio of Beam 15 is often better than steel,
-Quality - Beam 15 is manufactured to strict QA requirements from stress graded timber of known structural capacity,
-Stability - Manufactured from kiln-dried timber and the lamination process makes Beam 15 less prone to movement,
-Sustainability - Beam 15 is PEFC certified (PEFC/40-31-20), with raw material coming from sustainably managed pine plantations,
-Design - Biophilia ability to improve the overall wellbeing and productivity of people who live and work in timber buildings through exposure to natural materials.
