Hyne engineered timber enhancements for better beams

Hyne is calling on architects, building designers and
builders to refresh their Hyne Design software to coincide with enhancements
to its engineered timber products, marketed as Hyne Truebeams.
Effective 1 March 2008, there are three changes to the Hyne Truebeams value
package, from which wholesale customers specify the most popular engineered
products:
- Hyne LVL (laminated veneer lumber) will replace Hyne LGL in all markets
other than tropical Queensland. This cost effective engineered softwood is
interchangeable with LGL in most specifications and features a high strength
to weight ratio as well as availability in long lengths.
- The inclusion of Hyne Primed, a new finger-jointed and laminated range
of Truebeams that are dressed, sanded, H3 treated and primed for outdoor,
above ground applications.
- New Hyne I-Beam specifications, with flange size dimensions changing to
90 x 35mm in four sizes only. This will ensure continued reliable supply of
this preferred product (with solid timber flanges) but it will require some
minor variations to span designs.
The package also includes the Hyne Beam 17C, Hyne Beam 18C and Hyne Beam 21C
ranges, which remain the same.
Peter Hyne, General Manager Wholesale, said that the latest Hyne Design v6.0
software will be a necessity to transition to the new and improved package.
"The new Hyne Truebeams package aims to make selection simpler, faster and
better. We're advising our customers to update Hyne Design as soon as possible
and they will be met with unparalleled support and service from our technical
sales teams."
