Dindas LVL 14 Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a direct replacement for F17 hardwood?

Yes. Dindas LVL 14 F17 is a direct replacement for F17 kiln-dried hardwood for structural roof, wall and floor members.

How far can an LVL beam span without support?

Allowable span depends on beam depth, width, applied loads, support conditions and project design requirements. Dindas LVL 14 F17 is available in lengths up to 12m, with final span selection confirmed using Dindas span tables and project engineering documentation.

Can LVL 14 F17 be used in external applications?

Yes, for suitable above-ground external structural applications when the correct treatment is specified. Dindas LVL 14 F17 is supplied untreated or H2S treated as standard, with H2 LOSP treatment available on request. H3 LOSP treatment is currently available through our Victoria branch. Contact your nearest Dindas branch for treatment availability in your state.

Are LVL beams stronger than regular timber?

LVL is engineered to deliver more consistent strength, stiffness and dimensional stability than standard solid timber, with fewer natural defects such as knots and gum pockets. Dindas LVL 14 F17 has a Modulus of Elasticity of 14,000 MPa, a bending strength of 49.9 MPa and a density of 590 to 600 kg/m3, and is manufactured with a Type A (marine) bond for structural durability.

Is LVL 14 F17 a structural beam?

Yes. Dindas LVL 14 F17 is a structural laminated veneer lumber designed for load-bearing applications, including lintels, roof beams, rafters, floor bearers and joists. It is certified under AS/NZS 4357.2 with JAS-ANZ and SECA approvals.

What size LVL beam do I need for my span?

The right size depends on span length, load type, support spacing and structural design criteria. Dindas LVL 14 F17 is available in depths of 90, 120, 140, 190, 240 and 290mm, and widths of 35mm and 45mm. Final sizing should always be confirmed against the current Dindas span tables or project engineering.

How far can an LVL beam span without support?

Where can I find span tables?

Commercial and residential span tables for Dindas LVL 14 F17 are available for download on the Dindas Australia website. Use them alongside your project engineering documentation to confirm the correct beam size and allowable spans.
