LAMINATED MERBAU CAMBERED BEAMS GL17C
Cambered laminated Merbau beams (GL17C) — engineered with a slight built-in upward curve (camber) that straightens out under load, ideal for architectural pergola roofs, feature beams, and longer structural spans from 195x65mm up to 330x85mm.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "cambered" mean for a structural beam?
A cambered beam is manufactured with a slight upward curve along its length so that once it's loaded (by a roof, deck, or its own weight over a long span), it settles closer to straight rather than sagging — common practice for long structural spans.
When would I choose a cambered beam over a standard GL17S beam?
Cambered beams are typically specified for longer spans or feature architectural beams where a flat GL17S beam might visibly sag over time — your builder or engineer will specify camber based on span calculations.
What length do these cambered beams come in?
Most sizes come in 3.6m lengths, with the deeper 85mm sections available up to 6m for longer clear spans.
Are cambered beams suitable for both structural and feature use?
Yes — they're commonly used as structural roof beams for pergolas and alfresco areas, and their visible curve is also popular as an exposed architectural feature.
