LVL (Laminated veneer lumber)
Characteristics
Dimensions
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product made by bonding together thin veneers of wood under heat and pressure. LVL is known for its exceptional strength, stability, and uniformity. By arranging the wood veneers in parallel layers and bonding them with strong adhesives, LVL achieves a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it suitable for a wide range of structural applications. Common uses of LVL include beams, headers, and joists in construction projects. Its consistent properties and predictable performance make it a preferred choice for load-bearing elements where strength and stability are crucial. Additionally, LVL’s uniform appearance and ease of handling make it popular among builders and contractors for its reliability and efficiency in construction.
