Question 1

What sizes does Tilling Timber glulam and LVL come in?

Accepted Answer

Calcs.com carries 128 Tilling Timber sections across SmartLVL15, SmartLVL13, GluLam GL19C, SmartLVL10, SmartLVL14, SmartLVL19, Red Alert 12, SmartLVL16 and Red Alert. Depths run from 70 mm to 525 mm (70, 90, 100, 120, 130, 140, 150, 165, 170, 190, 195, 200, 230, 240, 260, 290, 295, 300, 330, 360, 400, 450, 460, 525 mm), in breadths of 35, 42, 45, 58, 60, 63, 65, 75 mm. Every one of those sections is selectable in the calculators listed on this page.

Question 2

Is there a span table for Tilling Timber glulam and LVL?

Accepted Answer

This page publishes section properties and characteristic values, not allowable spans. A span is not a property of the section: it depends on the loads you apply, the member spacing, and the deflection limit you design to, so the same section spans different distances on different jobs. Rather than reading a span off a generic table, select the Tilling Timber section in a Calcs.com calculator and enter your actual loads. The calculator checks bending, shear, bearing, and deflection and reports the governing limit.
