Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) as a Construction Material

LVL Construction Material

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is one of the most widely used engineered wood products for constructional applications. LVL Beam is a high performance more sustainable alternative to lumber, headers and columns are used in structural applications to carry heavy loads with minimum weight, manufactured in a controlled environment resulting in straighter, stronger and more uniform product compared to milled lumber, creating a more stable and reliable product than dimensional lumber because it doesn’t twist and warp or shrink over time.

Advantages

Major advantages of LVL include its dimension, shape, high strength properties and low cost. The size of LVL is not limited by log size, due to its manufacturing method. LVL is one of the strongest wood-based construction materials relative to its density. Because it is manufactured with homogeneous quality that has a minimum number of defects or even distribution of defects, mechanical properties of the final product can be predicted. In general, LVL can be produced in different shapes depending on for what it will be used. It also has the great advantage of using wood resources efficiently.

We also offer LVL Timber Beams for Concrete Formwork Support Structures, OSHA LVL Scaffolding Plank, various plywood used in construction, etc.
