Product type
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product made by bonding together thin layers of wood veneers with adhesives under heat and pressure. This process enhances the strength and stability of the material, making it suitable for structural applications. LVL is commonly used in beams, headers, and other load-bearing applications where high strength and durability are required.
| Material | Wood veneers bonded with adhesives |
| Thickness | Typically ranges from 1.5 to 3 inches |
| Width | Available in widths from 3 to 12 inches |
| Length | Standard lengths range from 8 to 48 feet |
| Moisture content | Usually between 8% to 12% |
| Grade | Commonly available in structural grades such as LVL 1 and LVL 2 |
When selecting Laminated Veneer Lumber, consider the specific structural requirements of your project, including load-bearing capacity and environmental conditions. It's important to specify the desired thickness, width, and length, as well as any necessary grades or certifications. Additionally, inquire about moisture content and ensure that the product meets local building codes and standards.

LVL is engineered for greater strength and stability compared to traditional lumber, making it ideal for structural applications.
Yes, but it should be properly treated and protected from moisture to prevent damage.
LVL offers consistent quality, high strength-to-weight ratio, and reduced warping compared to solid wood.
LVL can be considered environmentally friendly as it utilizes fast-growing trees and reduces waste by using smaller wood pieces.
LVL is manufactured by layering thin wood veneers, applying adhesive, and then pressing them together under heat.
Load capacities vary based on dimensions and grade, so it's essential to consult specifications for exact values.
