What is an LRC 24-F 1.8E IJC?

IJC stands for I-Joist Compatible Glulam Beams and are available from LRC as an alternative to LVL. These beams match the depths of I-Joist used in residential construction, which allows drywall to be placed on the ceiling with out the need to fur the I-Joist to match the depth of the standard Glulam Beam. LRC 24-F 1.8E IJC Glulam Beams are designed in 3½” and 5¼” widths to fit standard 2x4 and 2x6 wall construction.

LRC’s 24-F 1.8E IJC is designed and manufactured using the same technology and wood type as a standard Glulam Beam. Ideal for an LVL replacement in LRC I-Joist floor systems and other conventional framing standards the LRC 24-F 1.8 IJC is a great choice for the builder looking for an alternative to LVL.
