LVL Beams, Glulam Beams and I-Joists
Engineered Floors & Beams
Engineered floor systems are becoming increasingly popular in the construction sector for their superior qualities compared to traditional lumber. The selection of building materials is a critical factor in constructing robust, long-lasting, and eco-friendly structures. We provide easy to follow layouts for our floor and beam packages, which will reduce waste onsite.
Advantages of LVL & Glulam Products:
- there is more consistency in quality of LVL beams, reducing the need for on-site adjustments, saving time for builders, and improving the appearance and long-term performance of the structure
- LVL beams are stronger and more structurally stable than traditional lumber
- the standardized sizes of LVL beams prevent mistakes in measuring and cutting on-site, resulting in cost and time savings for builders
- the manufacturing process of LVL beams is environmentally friendly
Advantages of I-Joists:
- I-Joists offer the advantage of supporting heavy loads without the risk of warping, bending, or sagging, ensuring long-term stability
- I-joists are consistent in size and shape, reducing the likelihood of structural issues and simplifying the installation process
- I-joists can span longer distances, potentially requiring fewer support beams and resulting in net savings
- I-joists’ lightweight nature makes them easy to transport on the jobsite, and the structure facilitates the installation of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems
- using I-joists during construction results in less natural wood being needed, and the manufacturing process also generates minimal waste, making I-joists a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice
