LVL Beams

LVL Beams
Glulam Columns

You’ve probably been building with traditional sawn lumber beams and headers for as long as you’ve been building. Now through advances in technology and design, there is a better choice — West Fraser™ LVL headers, beams and columns. They are simply a better alternative than traditional sawn lumber pieces.

Work with a stronger, stiffer, more consistent and more predictable building material. Compared with similar sized sections, our LVL headers and beams can support heavier loads and allows greater spans than conventional lumber.
