The following tables provide the approximate weight (dead load, self-weight) of the various types of engineered lumber (glulam, LVL, CLT, etc.) used in building construction in the US. The tables provide the weight per cubic foot as well as the weight per linear foot for various dimensions of each material.

Weights for plywood, OSB, and other engineered wood panels can be found here.

The weights we give were calculated using the product data sheets or manufacturer specifications of actual engineered wood products. However, the values given in the tables are meant to provide a general idea of typical weights for engineered wood, and should not be used if precise values are needed for critical engineering calculations. When precision is necessary, always refer to the specification sheet for the actual, specific product you intend to use, or contact the technical department of the manufacturer.

Weight of Glulam (Glued Laminated Timber)
36 Pounds per Cubic Foot (lbs/ft3)
Table Shows Weight per Linear Foot
for Standard Glulam Beam Widths and a Sample of Glulam Beam Depths
Glulam is not typically manufactured in widths or depths of less than 3 inches. Weights for these dimensions are included to make it easier to calculate weights for beam sizes not included in the table.

Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL)

Weight of LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber)
41 Pounds per Cubic Foot (41 lbs/ft3)
Table Shows Weight per Linear Foot
for Standard LVL Dimensions
LVL is not manufactured in widths or depths of just 1-inch or just 1/4-inch. These are included to make it easier to calculate weights for custom-made, non-standard dimensions which are not included in the table.
