General Characteristics
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is a mass timber product that is twice as strong as steel in proportion to weight. It provides an ideal solution when strength, dimensional stability, and high load-bearing capacity are essential.
LVL is made from multiple veneers of strength graded dried wood bonded together in a factory-controlled environment. The versatility and proven structural performance of LVL have rapidly increased its popularity in mass timber construction.
LVL is suitable for use as beams, trusses, planks and rafters. When crossbonded for increased stiffness it can be used to form wall and floor panels with load-bearing capacity. While frequently used solely as a concealed structural component of a building, finished appearance grades are also used.
