H20 beams and 3-ply panels: formwork that lasts.
The Lana HABE-20 timber beam and 3-ply panels have equipped European sites for decades: slabs, beams, walls, civil works. Nordic Timber represents Lana in Morocco and delivers to sites via Casablanca, Agadir, Nador and Tanger.
Lana S. Coop., a Basque cooperative founded in Oñati (Spain), with a production site in the Czech Republic, manufactures certified formwork beams and 3-ply panels for building and civil works.
Two flanges, a 3-ply web, a glued joint.
- 1Flangesin top quality fir, calibrated, rounded edges, finger-jointed along their whole length.
- 2Webin 27 mm three-layer board.
- 3Jointnotched groove between web and flanges, high-frequency, high-strength gluing.
- 4Protectionagainst humidity by paint over the whole beam; end caps protected against knocks and splintering.

Standard lengths (mm)
Section 200 × 80 mm. The beam can be cut at any point; props can be placed at any point between beams.
Why sites choose it.
A light beam, reusable many times, that adapts to every kind of formwork.
Strength and safety
Dimensional stability and recovery after load. High load capacity along the whole length. Protected against humidity, knocks and splintering.
Lightness
4.7 kg per metre: easy handling, quick assembly, minimum weight on site.
Economy
Can be used many times. Good ratio between price and uses. Easy storage.
Adaptability
Ideal with 3-ply panels. Can be cut at any point, propped at any point, used in any kind of formwork.
Load table.
Maximum permissible support distance (m) by slab thickness and chosen spacing. Live load 1.5 kN/m² or 20% of the concrete weight. For design offices: the full values are in the PDF sheet.

Extract from the Lana table: rows 32, 34, 36, 38, 45 and 55 cm are in the PDF sheet. For cross beams, the maximum support distance is the main beam spacing.
The formwork panel that goes with the beam.
Three cross-glued spruce layers, protected edges, a surface ready for striking. The natural companion of the H20 for slabs and walls, reusable many times.
- Thicknesses 21 and 27 mm, common formats 2,000 × 500 and 2,500 × 500 mm
- Weather-resistant gluing, painted edges
