What is an LVL Ridge Beam Size Calculator?
An LVL Ridge Beam Size Calculator is a tool used to determine the appropriate size (depth and width) of a laminated veneer lumber (LVL) ridge beam used to support a roof or ceiling. It ensures that the selected LVL beam can handle the span and load requirements for structural stability.
Why Use an LVL Ridge Beam Size Calculator?
- Structural Integrity: Ensures that the ridge beam is of adequate size to support the roof or ceiling load, preventing structural issues.
- Material Efficiency: Helps in choosing the most cost-effective LVL size, reducing material waste.
