This Ilevel Parallam PSL Beam Header is a Revit family representing a high-strength engineered wood structural framing member. The Ilevel Parallam Parallel Strand Lumber (PSL) beam header is an engineered wood product designed for high-load structural applications. It features a dense, consistent grain structure derived from long veneer strands bonded with adhesive, providing superior load-carrying capacity compared to traditional sawn timber. This Revit family accurately captures the rectangular profile and distinct linear aesthetic of the PSL material, suitable for integration into structural framing plans. It serves as a reliable component for supporting floor or roof joist systems, ensuring consistent performance and precise geometric representation within complex building models.
The download is a 276 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
Users load this family into the Revit project environment to define structural framing layouts. It is intended for placement within the structural framing category, allowing engineers to associate it with analytical model lines for load calculations. The component supports standard Revit beam parameters, enabling users to adjust length, material properties, and structural usage settings to match specific project requirements. Consistent with BIM best practices, it should be mapped to the appropriate structural framing sub-category to maintain visibility control across various project views.

This beam header is essential for residential and light commercial projects where high-strength, long-span structural supports are required. Professionals typically deploy this asset during the design development and construction documentation phases to specify engineered timber framing solutions. It pairs effectively with standard joist hangers, steel connectors, and other proprietary structural hardware. Search for this component when detailing floor systems, headers over wide openings, or primary support beams in wood-frame construction, ensuring the structural model reflects the exact performance characteristics of Parallam PSL materials.
