Product Brochure

e-plate engineered LVL top plates to support tile or metal roof.
e-plate is a continuous LVL masonry wall plate designed to support roofs with metal sheeting or tiles under
dynamic and static loads. The higher density of LVL makes e-plate more resistant to crushing and reduces the
risk of cornice cracking and the associated maintenance costs.
Features include:
· Engineered for straightness, consistency and guaranteed performance
· Higher density with greater capacity to resist crushing
· Available in 6.0m lengths
· Available ex-stock
· Competitively priced
· Square edges to easily position birdsmouth notched roof rafters
· Manufactured from plantation timber veneers
· Manufactured in Australia by a wholly owned Australian company
· Wesbeam has full Chain of Custody aligned with the Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) and Program for the
Endorsement of Forest Certification (www.pefc.org)
