Timber-Resin Splice Beam End Repair Kits - two examples of beam repair and beam strength upgrade

Example:a large section, 300mm x 300mm, (12 inch x 12 inch) lintol (bressumer) carrying the upper floors and bay windows of an Administrative Building in Plymouth University had suffered from dampness, causing severe wet and dry rot. The entire beam had to be removed, but because of propping difficulties and the need to keep all the offices functioning it was cheaper to install a new, laminated timber beam supplied in three parts, rather than one enormous steel section.

Example:a large section, 255mm x 300mm, (10 inch x 12 inch) carrier beam had been attacked by Dry Rot and insects leading to failure, due to defective roof valleys. The beam was manufactured in two pieces, for ease of transport and fitting. Unlike steel, it could therefore be easily lifted into place by hand.

Wood beams can be laminated to any size and length to be installed as roof beams (rafters, tie beams), floor beams (carrier beams, joists) or lintols (bressumers) for replacement of building beams, including laminated beams.
