FAQs
What is Envirobeam Formwork LVL and why do formworkers choose it over traditional timber?
Envirobeam Formwork LVL is engineered laminated veneer lumber manufactured by Auswood International specifically for concrete formwork applications across Australian construction sites. Made from layers of Masson pine veneers bonded under heat and pressure, this formwork timber delivers exceptional strength to withstand the heavy loads and pressures exerted by wet concrete. Unlike traditional solid timber that can warp, twist or bow under repeated use, Envirobeam LVL maintains dimensional stability throughout multiple pours. Available in 95x45mm, 95x63mm and 150x75mm sections, this formwork LVL is certified to AS/NZS 4357 for structural LVL and AS3610 for formwork applications. Formworkers appreciate the consistent straightness and uniform quality that eliminates the frustration of dealing with defective timber, ensuring precise formwork alignment and reducing concrete finish defects.
How does Envirobeam Formwork LVL benefit concreters and concrete suppliers?
As a trusted LVL timber supplier, Auswood designed Envirobeam Formwork LVL to meet the demanding requirements of concrete construction. The engineered timber resists the moisture from wet concrete while maintaining structural integrity under heavy loads, preventing deflection that causes uneven slabs and surface imperfections. The lightweight nature compared to steel formwork systems reduces handling time and labour costs, allowing concreters to set up and strip formwork faster between pours. Envirobeam LVL is treated for moisture resistance and durability, extending service life across multiple reuses and reducing material costs per pour. For concrete suppliers managing large-scale projects, the reliability of this formwork timber means fewer delays from timber failure, better concrete finishes that require minimal patching, and improved site safety. The precise dimensions ensure formwork systems fit together accurately, creating tight joints that prevent concrete bleed and maintain the required slab thickness.
Can scaffolding suppliers use Envirobeam Formwork LVL for scaffold planks and temporary structures?
Yes, Envirobeam Formwork LVL is suitable for scaffolding applications requiring high load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability. Scaffolding suppliers can rely on this LVL timber for scaffold planks, temporary structural supports, bracing systems, and working platforms on construction sites. The engineered construction provides superior strength-to-weight ratios compared to traditional timber planks, supporting workers and materials safely while remaining light enough for efficient handling and transport. The treated timber resists moisture, decay and insect attack in outdoor conditions, extending plank life and reducing replacement frequency. Auswood also manufactures dedicated Envirobeam Scaffolding Planks optimised for this purpose. The consistent quality and precision dimensions mean scaffolding suppliers can confidently specify load ratings and ensure compliance with Australian scaffolding standards. Unlike solid timber with unpredictable knots and weak points, LVL offers reliable performance across every piece.
Where can formworkers and concreters purchase Envirobeam Formwork LVL in Australia?
Auswood International supplies Envirobeam Formwork LVL directly to formworkers, concreters, scaffolding suppliers and construction companies through distribution centres in Sydney (Milperra, NSW), Melbourne (Laverton North, VIC), and Brisbane (Luscombe, QLD). As both an LVL timber manufacturer and formwork LVL timber supplier, Auswood offers same-day shipping on warehouse stock to keep projects on schedule. Contact their team on 1800 888 986 or email info@auswood.com.au for bulk pricing, product specifications, delivery schedules, and technical support. Office hours are 9am to 5pm, with drop-offs and pick-ups available 7am to 3pm Monday to Friday. For large formwork projects requiring multiple truckloads, Auswood can arrange direct delivery to site with crane trucks. Their experienced staff understand formwork requirements and can recommend appropriate sections for beams, edge boards, walers, soldiers and other concrete forming applications.
Is Envirobeam Formwork LVL cost-effective for repeated concrete pours?
Absolutely. Envirobeam Formwork LVL delivers exceptional value for formworkers and concreters through its durability and reusability. While the initial cost exceeds traditional pine timber, the engineered LVL withstands multiple concrete pours without degrading, warping or losing strength. Formwork contractors report 5 to 10 or more reuses depending on site conditions and handling practices, significantly reducing material costs per pour compared to single-use timber. The moisture-resistant treatment extends service life in harsh Australian conditions, from humid coastal sites to inland heat. Less deflection means better concrete finishes with minimal patching and grinding, saving finishing costs. The lightweight design reduces labour hours for setting up and stripping forms, improving crew productivity. For concrete suppliers managing residential slab projects or commercial developments, investing in quality formwork LVL timber from a reliable supplier like Auswood translates to lower total project costs, fewer delays and superior concrete quality.
What Australian standards and certifications does Envirobeam Formwork LVL meet?
Envirobeam Formwork LVL is fully certified to Australian and New Zealand standards, providing formworkers, concreters and scaffolding suppliers with confidence in product quality and safety compliance. The LVL timber meets AS/NZS 4357 for structural laminated veneer lumber, ensuring consistent structural performance and load-bearing capacity. It also complies with AS3610 specifically for formwork applications, confirming suitability for concrete forming systems. As a certified LVL timber manufacturer, Auswood maintains rigorous quality control throughout the manufacturing process, with each batch tested for strength, moisture content and dimensional accuracy. Technical documentation including specifications, material safety data sheets and compliance certificates are available for download from their website. This certification ensures the formwork timber performs reliably under Australian site conditions and meets builder requirements for structural adequacy. For projects requiring green building credentials, the sustainably sourced Masson pine and low embodied energy compared to steel alternatives support environmental objectives.
