LP SolidStart Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is ideal for single or multiple-ply beams, lintels, trimming beams and other primary load-carrying applications.

Manufactured from ultrasonically-graded veneers and bonded with exterior-grade adhesives, LP SolidStart LVL delivers greater load-carrying capacity than traditional timber. Available in multiple grades and a wide variety of widths and lengths, it provides tremendous design flexibility, as well as superior dimensional stability. It comes standard with a water-resistant SiteCote® providing additional weather protection.

LP SolidStart LVL

LP SolidStart Laminated Strand Lumber (LSL) offers strength and consistency to a broad range of applications in residential and light commercial applications including primary floor beams, trimming beams, lintels, posts, purlins and rim boards.

Available in multiple grades up to 12 000 N/mm2 MOE (LSL-G) and a variety of sections, it delivers enhanced design flexibility. Edges and ends are sealed for added moisture protection. LP SolidStart LSL shows superior dimensional stability and connection capacities.

designed to outperform traditional timber

LP SolidStart I-Joists are structural I-joist sections designed to provide stable, uniform and robust floor and roof framing.

LP SolidStart I-Joists start straight and stay straight. They’re more uniform in strength, stiffness and size than solid timber and are less likely to warp, shrink, twist, split or crown. They’re light in weight and come in longer lengths and deeper depths so floors can be designed with fewer pieces, saving installation and material costs.

Manufactured for strength and consistency, LP Rim Board products are precision-cut to work seamlessly with LP SolidStart I-Joists and LSL and LVL beams.

That makes them ideal for supporting vertical and lateral wall loads as part of a floor or roof framing system. Options include rim board manufactured from LSL or LVL in a wide range of depths and thicknesses. LP Rim Board provides a dimensionally-stable flat surface, consistent edge nailing capacity and high vertical load capacity suitable in most multi-story applications.

than by strength. Perception

of vibration is very subjective,

varying significantly with

each individual's experience

and expectation. In addition

to complying with Eurocode 5

requirements, floor performance

can be greatly improved by

incorporating the methods below

during design and construction.

1. Multiple-span joist Instead of two single spans, use one multiple-span joist to reduce deflection.

2. Deeper joist Significantly improve the performance by using a deeper joist than required.

3. Wider flange joist Reduces out-of-plane vibration of the bottom flange plus improves performance and feel of floor decking.

4. Reduced joist spacing Proportionally increase the floor stiffness by reducing required floor spacing.

5. Glued and fixed decking Increases floor stiffness due to composite action of joist and decking.

6. Thicker floor deck Improves composite action while reducing deflection and engages more joist.

7. Directly applied ceiling Improves floor feel as ceiling directly attached to joist reduces vibration.

8. Strutting or blocking Helps the floor act as a unit and increases the stiffness perpendicular to the joist direction.

9. Stiffer support beams Reduces compound deflection of the floor system when supported by stiffer beam.

LP® SolidStart® I-Joists: floor Span tables

to uSE:1. Select the appropriate section of that table based on the project design loads, as required.2. Find a span that meets or exceeds the design clear span.3. Read the corresponding joist series, depth and spacing.

cautIon: For floor systems that require both single-span and multiple-span joists, it is a good idea to check both before selecting a joist. Some conditions are controlled by multiple-span strength instead of single-span deflection.

dESIgn aSSuMPtIonS:1. Table is valid for single spans.2. Vibration design per EN 1995-1-1 assumed 18mm OSB/3 nailed decking and suspended ceiling.3. System factor ksys = 1,1 is applied (4 or more joists at 625mm c/c or less).4. Spans are based on 45mm end bearing length.5. Bearing of the support material or wall plate has NOT been verified.6. Deflections are limited to the following:

addItIonaL notES:1. Web stiffeners are not required for any of these tables. 2. Web fillers are required for hangers that do not laterally support the top flange or for hangers that require nailing to the web. 3. For improved performance or “feel” of the floor refer to “Floor Performance” on page 8.4. For conditions not shown, use LP design software or contact your LP distributor.

notES:1. Values are for Medium-term duration and shall be adjusted according to code.2. Nail values are based on 3,75 x 75mm nails and bolt values on M12 bolts. For other sizes

multiply listed capacities by factor from Nail Size Factor table at right.3. Unless specifically designed, use min. 4,00 x 90mm common nails for 45mm thick plies

(refer to Nail Size Factor table at right for adjusted connection capacity) and use min. 3,75 x 75mm common nails for 38mm thick plies. If the nails do not fully penetrate the second ply (main member), then the nails shall be driven from both faces.

4. Nail and bolt capacities for connectors into the face are based on characteristic density listed in the permissible Section Design Properties table on page 6-7.

5. For nails at 200mm c/c, multiply the capacity by 1,5. For nails at 150mm c/c multiply the capacity by 2. For four rows of nails, double the two-row capacity.

6. Use a minimum of 2 rows of nails for depths up to 302mm, 3 rows of nails for depths greater than 302mm up to 457mm.

7. For detail A, or when attaching the first two plies for detail B (optional), the nails may be driven all from one face or alternating from both faces. If the nails do not fully penetrate the second ply, then the nails shall be driven from both faces.

8. When driving nails from each face, alternate every other nail in each row.9. For details C, when side-loaded, the larger side-load shall be applied to the thicker ply

(main member.)10. Beams wider than 133mm (i.e., details G and H) shall be top-loaded or side-loaded from

both sides to prevent rotation. Consult a design professional for other options.

notES1. All timber blocks, hangers, and struts must be completely installed and properly nailed.2. Lateral strength must be provided by a diagonally braced and blocked system comprising

a minimum of 3 adjacent joists in each bay. In long bays, install additional systems spaced not greater than 15,0m.

3. Ends of cantilevers require safety bracing on both the top and bottom flanges.

38 x 125mm timber blocks or LPI blocking panels are required over two bays (min.)

Important! Traditional masonry hangers will not support construction loads without a minimum of 675mm of cured masonry construction above hanger level. Consult the hanger manufacturer for information on the correct installation and use of masonry

hangers. Alternatively, the floor can be supported by temporary works designed for the purpose. See Notes 4 and 5 above for maximum construction loads.

W a r n I n g SJoists are unstable until braced laterally!

The diagram below shows elementary rules to ensure safety during erection which shall be in addition to building safety regulations. This diagram covers

safety bracing only and applies also to timber frame construction.

Remove safety bracing as permanent decking proceeds

DON’T walk on unbraced floor joists (falling hazard).

DON’T store loads away from the supports.

DON’T install decking on unbraced floor joists.

4. With bracing installed as above and proper LPI™ Joist support, construction materials may be stored within 1,0m of a support (each side of interior supports) provided the load is uniformly distributed between several joists and does not exceed 255 kg per joist.

5. When all decking has been permanently attached to each properly-supported LPI Joist, a maximum of 255 kg per joist may be placed on the system at any point.
