Architectural Planning,
Clear information from experts of
the trade.
What separates Big-Beam from
stock 24F glulam is that the tension and compression lams (top and bottom edges
of the beam) are comprised of LVL. This combination of materials (referred to as
a "layup") has been engineered to deliver high structural values.
Most of the bending stress on a horizontal timber takes place on the top and
bottom edge of the member. The value of the dry, pine laminate stock used in the
core is that it makes the beam lighter, more resistant to the elements and
easier to work with than solid LVL, PSL or solid timbers. Since LVL has greater
design values than pine laminations, adding the LVL lams increases the overall
strength of the beam where the greatest stress occurs.
Also, because Big-Beam is made from kiln-dried lumber and LVL, it does not
twist, split or warp.
