Product Description
Prolam PLX20 is a steel-reinforced glulam beam, manufactured in New Zealand from Pinus radiata to AS/NZS 1328. Precision-engineered with steel laminated into the top and bottom laminates for extra strength and stiffness, PLX20 allows a smaller member to span further than equivalent solid or standard glulam beams. Independently tested to ensure structural performance and dimensional stability. A direct replacement for manufactured flitch beams. Can be cut to length on site using standard carpentry tools.
