Premium Quality LVL Beams 170 x 45mm Enhancing Structural Integrity with E14 Engineered Wood LVL Beams
In the realm of modern construction, the demand for reliable, sturdy, and sustainable building materials has never been higher. As traditional construction methods evolve to meet these demands, engineered wood products like Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) have emerged as a versatile and efficient solution. Within this landscape, the H2S treated SENSO Framing LVL F17 beams, particularly the E14 Engineered Wood LVL Beams with dimensions of 170 x 45mm, have garnered attention for their exceptional structural qualities and long-lasting performance.
Advantages of E14 Engineered Wood LVL Beams:
Engineered Wood LVL Beams, or laminated veneer lumber beams, are engineered products created by bonding thin layers of wood veneers together with adhesives. The resulting product boasts several advantages over traditional solid wood beams, making it a preferred choice for many construction applications.
- Strength and Stability: E14 Engineered Wood LVL Beams are designed to provide superior strength and stability, offering consistent structural performance that outperforms conventional timber. This is especially crucial for supporting heavy loads in construction projects.
- Dimensional Accuracy: One of the standout features of E14 LVL Beams is their high level of dimensional accuracy. Unlike natural wood, these beams are less prone to warping, twisting, or shrinking, ensuring they maintain their original shape and size over time.
- Long Spans: The remarkable load-bearing capacity of E14 LVL Beams allows for longer spans between supports, reducing the need for additional columns or beams within a structure. This not only enhances design flexibility but also contributes to open and spacious interior layouts.
- Environmentally Friendly: Engineered wood products like E14 LVL Beams utilize more of the timber log, minimizing waste and making efficient use of natural resources. Additionally, these beams are manufactured using sustainable forestry practices, aligning with modern construction’s emphasis on eco-conscious materials.

LVL Beams 170 x 45mm FAQ
Q: What is the maximum span for an LVL beam of this size?
A: The maximum span for an LVL beam of 170 x 45mm will depend on a variety of factors, such as the load it will be supporting, the spacing of the supports, and the type of wood used to make the beam. A structural engineer or builder can help determine the appropriate span for your specific project.
Q: How much weight can an LVL beam of this size support?
A: The weight capacity of an LVL beam of 170 x 45mm will also depend on the factors mentioned above. However, as a general guideline, a 170 x 45mm LVL beam can typically support up to 450-500 kg over a 4-meter span.
Q: Can LVL beams be cut to size on-site?
A: LVL beams can be cut to size on site using standard woodworking tools, such as a circular saw or handsaw. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for cutting and handling LVL beams to avoid damage or weakening of the beam.
Q: Can LVL beams be used for outdoor projects?
A: LVL beams can be used for outdoor projects, but they must be treated with a protective coating to prevent damage from moisture and exposure to the elements.
Q: How do LVL beams compare to solid wood beams in terms of cost?
A: LVL beams are typically more expensive than solid wood beams of the same size, but they offer advantages in terms of strength, stability, and uniformity, which can make them a cost-effective choice for certain applications. The overall cost will depend on the specific project and the availability of materials in the local market.
