Product Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
| Thickness: | 19mm to 75mm (0.75" to 3"). |
| Width: | Standard widths range from 63mm (2.5") to 300mm (12"). |
| Length: | Customizable up to 24 meters (80 feet) for long-span applications. |
| Density: | 550–700 kg/m³ (lighter than steel but stronger than solid timber). |
| Strength Grades: | MOE (Modulus of Elasticity): 10,000–14,000 MPa. MOR (Modulus of Rupture): 30–50 MPa. |
| Treatments: | Available in fire-retardant (FR-LVL), preservative-treated, or moisture-resistant variants. |
| Certifications: | APA PRI-400, ANSI A190.1, and FSC/PEFC for sustainable sourcing. |
Advantages
✅High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Exceeds solid timber in load capacity, ideal for beams and headers.
✅Dimensional Stability: Resists warping, twisting, and shrinking compared to natural wood.
✅Uniform Quality: No natural defects (knots, splits), ensuring consistent performance.
✅Sustainability: Uses fast-growing, renewable timber species (e.g., pine, poplar).
✅Lightweight: Easier to handle and install than steel or concrete.
✅Design Flexibility: Can be cut, drilled, or notched on-site like traditional lumber.
✅ Long Spans: Reduces the need for intermediate supports in construction.
Applications
✅Structural Framing: Beams, headers, rafters, and trusses in residential/commercial buildings.
✅Industrial Projects: Scaffolding planks, truck bed flooring, and pallet racks.
✅Renovations: Reinforcement for sagging floors or retrofitting older structures.
✅Architectural Features: Curved beams, cantilevered sections, and exposed structural elements.
✅Flooring Systems: Subflooring and joists for high-load areas.
Why Choose LVL Over Alternatives?
✅Vs. Solid Timber: Higher strength, fewer defects, and predictable performance.
✅Vs. Steel: Lower cost, easier installation, and thermal insulation properties.
✅Vs. Glulam: More cost-effective for straight spans and standardized applications.
✅Vs. PSL/OSL: Better uniformity and surface finish for visible structural use.
Sustainability Commitment
✅Sourced from sustainably managed forests (FSC/PEFC certified).
✅Low-VOC adhesives (meets CARB Phase 2 and EPA standards).
✅Fully recyclable and biodegradable at end-of-life.
