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: RigidLam® LVL headers and beams. 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.
