Default i beam question

A GluLam or LVL engineered wood beam should be sufficient, sistered
with 1/4" steel plate if necessary. However, you need a structural
engineer to tell you what size and other specs. If it is not signed
off correctly, it is illegal in most places. Most companies that sell
the beams almost always need the exact specs signed off, they can't
just go on oral instructions alone.
