Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is a high-strength engineered wood product used primarily for structural applications. It is comparable in strength to solid timber.
LVL is manufactured from peeling wood from logs into layers of thin veneer, approximately 3mm in thickness. The sheets of veneer are assembled together by a strong adhesive through a continuous press, into long billets of 1200mm wide, with a thickness of 10-100mm.
The finished product is cut to length and split into sizes to make scaffold planks, beams for housing, bed slats and various stud materials.
