A new dimension in strength, stability, and sustainability
Designed and manufactured in New Zealand, the innovative PLX20 steel reinforced laminated timber beam offers unparalleled load bearing capacity and spanning capability.
Precision engineered from quality pine with steel laminated into the top and bottom laminates for extra strength and stiffness, PLX20 allows a smaller member beam to span further, making it the ideal choice for garage door lintels and other wide structures.
