Descripción del producto

LVL (laminated veneer lumber) is a technologically enhanced and improved high strength structural wood based material. The complex technological process results in a homogenous material with unique performance. LVL properties significantly exceed those of solid wood, glulam and high-grade timber.

The main raw material used to produce LVL is wood veneer of various grades (wood species and mixtures thereof differ from manufacturer to manufacturer). 

Its outstanding properties place LVL among the most advanced and technological products currently used in construction.

LVL enjoys unique strength characteristics, for example, its MOE (modulus of elasticity) is *4% higher than that of solid spruce, while its MOR (bending strength) is twice as high. These physical characteristics ensure high bearing capacity of LVL products at smaller cross-sections which in its turn significantly reduces the total volume of required lumber.

These high characteristics are associated with a number of specific features of LVL production process that ensure the absence of natural wood defects in the structure of the material.

Due to its laminated structure and production technology, LVL is an entirely homogenous material with unchangeable mechanical properties lengthwise and consistent performance irrespective of seasonal factors.  That is, its a material with homogenous symmetrical structure that does not change its performance over its entire service life.
