Engineered Timber Beams

McNamara's Frames & Trusses specialise in engineered timber beams to suit your specifications and requirements. We supply timber engineered beams through our partnerships with Hyne Timber, Boral Timber, Newcastle Timber Trading and Meyer Timber. Timber engineered beams can be used in place of structural steel beams depending upon the situation. Timber engineered beams are strong but lighter than an equivalent structural steel beam, therefore allowing for easier handling onsite.


  • It's Strong: There are a many advantages to choosing Timber Engineered Beams over structural steel beams. The main advantage is, timber is a lot lighter than steel which makes timber easier to handle on site. Glulam and LVL beams can span large distances. The manufacturing process makes them are inherently strong.
  • Durability: LVL and Glulam beams can be produced in either H2 or H3 treated timber. This enables Timber Engineered Beams to be used in a variety of situations. The manufacturing process of cross laminating produces beams that are not only strong but also they are less prone to warping or shrinking. This fact alone can save you time and money on site.
  • It's Light: If you are managing a construction project, one challenge you face is handling heavy items onsite. While structural steel is a reliable material for many situations, it is heavy and bulky to handle onsite often requiring a crane to move it into place safely. Timber Engineered Beams are durable, like steel, but lightweight thus making them easier to handle onsite. This can result in saving both time and money onsite.
  • It's Easy to Adjust: Another advantage to using Timber Engineered Beams is that they can be adjusted for length onsite, if required. All our Timber Engineered Beams are ordered to your specified length. Timber Engineered Beams are manufactured to ridged specifications from quality material.


Timber Engineered Beams are structurally sound, cost effective and easy to handle onsite. When you need Timber Engineered Beams for your project you can trust McNamara's Frames & Trusses to provide the best solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the benefits of using engineered beams and flooring systems?

    Engineered beams and flooring systems offer higher strength-to-weight ratios, longer spans and improved stability compared to traditional timber. They’re precision-manufactured to ensure consistent quality, making installation quicker and more accurate. These systems also reduce on-site cutting and waste, saving time and costs while maintaining superior structural integrity.

  • How do engineered beams differ from traditional timber beams?

    Engineered beams are manufactured using laminated or composite materials designed for strength and consistency. Unlike solid timber, they resist twisting, shrinking and splitting, making them ideal for structural applications where accuracy and stability are critical. They’re also available in larger spans and can handle higher loads with less weight.

  • Can engineered flooring systems be customised for different projects?

    Absolutely. Engineered systems are designed to suit the specific requirements of each build. Whether you’re working on a renovation, extension or new development, the system can be tailored to match span lengths, load conditions and site constraints. This level of customisation helps improve efficiency and ensures the finished structure performs as intended.
