⚙️ Mechanical Properties
| Property | Value Estimate (E13.2 Grade) |
| Bending Strength (Fb) | ~48 MPa |
| Modulus of Elasticity (E) | ~13.2 GPa |
| Shear Strength | ~5.5 MPa |
| Compression (perpendicular) | ~12 MPa |
Note: These are typical values for E13.2 LVL. For F17 grade, strengths are ~10–15% higher.
🧮 Load Capacity (Span Table Reference)
For 90x45 mm LVL, simply supported, single span, uniformly distributed load (UDL):
| Span (m) | Max UDL (kN/m) | Load Case (Residential) |
| 2.4 | 6.5 kN/m | Floor joist (L/360 deflection) |
| 3.0 | 4.2 kN/m | Floor joist |
| 3.6 | 2.9 kN/m | Floor joist |
Assumes E13.2 grade, residential loading (1.5 kPa live + 0.5 kPa dead).
For roof members, allowable spans are longer depending on load case.

These LVL beams are factory-finished with a protective spray paint coating, designed to enhance both aesthetic appeal and durability in exposed or semi-exposed applications. The paint system is specially selected to adhere to engineered wood surfaces and withstand environmental exposure.
- Base Material: High-grade structural LVL (e.g., E13.2 or F17)
- Surface Finish: Spray-applied acrylic or enamel paint system
- Color Options: Available in standard or custom colors (light colors recommended for exterior use)
- Treatment Compatibility: Suitable for LOSP or Tru-Core H3-treated LVL
- Durability: Enhanced UV and moisture resistance when properly maintained
Structural pine LVL beams manufactured to AS/NZS 4357 are engineered wood products formed by bonding rotary-peeled Radiata-pine /Larch-pine veneers with a phenolic Type A waterproof adhesive; compliance with the standard requires continuous production monitoring, in-grade structural testing and a product-specific set of published strength/stiffness values, giving designers a reliable, straight-spanning alternative to sawn timber that is recognised in Australia’s National Construction Code .
