A powerful bracing solution for open-plan designs, the Prolam PLX Column is a breakthrough in structural timber design. Developed in collaboration with architects, engineers and builders it overcomes a key challenge in modern construction: achieving bracing requirements without sacrificing space or layout.
Delivering up to 120 bracing units in a single glulam member, the PLX Column is a space-saving, space-making solution for today’s homes. Available in 400mm x 90mm or 360mm x 90mm sizes, its compact footprint and high bracing capacity in minimal wall lengths allows you to create wider openings, cleaner lines and more light-filled, liveable interiors.
Independently tested to the P21 BRANZ test methodology, the PLX Portal provides bracing units to resist wind and earthquake loads for NZS3604 style residential buildings.
The PLX Column has a ductility of µ = 3.0, making it compatible with NZS3604 bracing systems.
Prolam has been supporting architects and construction professionals for 20 years to design and build with strength, confidence and ease with premium engineered timber solutions.
For 20 years, Prolam has been a proud manufacturer of New Zealand structural laminated posts and beams.
