LVL E13 H2 Beam
LVL E13 H2 Beam for Bearers, Lintels and Joists
When the frame relies on a beam carrying load over a span, you want engineered timber that performs the same way every length, every time. LVL E13 H2 beam is a structural laminated veneer lumber member with an E13 stiffness grade and H2 termite protection, suited to bearers, lintels, floor joists, rim board, and roof members in residential construction. We stock it in 35mm, 45mm, 63mm, and 75mm thicknesses, so you can size the member to the load or build up to a wider beam by laminating multiples on site.
Why E13 H2
The E13 grade tells you the stiffness: consistent, predictable deflection under load across the full length, which is what lets you design to span without guessing. Because LVL is built from multiple bonded veneers rather than sawn from a single log, it resists the warping, twisting, and shrinkage that solid timber can throw, holding its shape through the build and beyond.
The H2 treatment is the other half. H2 protects against termites for framing kept dry and inside the building envelope, the standard requirement for structural members in most Sydney residential frames. Match the thickness to the job: a single 45mm for standard lintels, or nail-laminate 63mm and 75mm members where the span or point load calls for more.
What Goes With It
Every structural beam needs the right fixing at the connection. Joist hangers and framing connectors rated for LVL are stocked for exactly this, and the structural timber screws and bolts to fix them are here too. Building the floor or roof on the same frame? Run the E13 beams with our wider LVL and engineered timber range and structural plywood for the decking.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is LVL E13 H2 beam?
A structural laminated veneer lumber beam with an E13 stiffness grade and H2 termite protection, used for bearers, lintels, floor joists, and roof members in residential framing.
What does the H2 treatment mean?
H2 is a termite-protection level for framing timber kept dry inside the building envelope. Confirm the treatment suits your application and check the product specification sheet before ordering.
What thicknesses are available?
35mm, 45mm, 63mm, and 75mm. Thinner members suit standard lintels, while thicker or laminated members handle larger spans and point loads.
Can I laminate LVL beams together?
Yes. Nail-laminating multiple members to build a wider beam is common practice for larger spans. Follow the engineer’s specification for fixing pattern and member count.
How do I choose the right beam size?
Beam size depends on span, load, and spacing. Call 1300 554 775 and our team can help, or work to your engineer’s structural design.
