WHAT ARE LVL BEAMS?
Structurally engineered products that allows for a high-strength engineered material that can be used in a variety of applications.
LVLs are manufactured through a process of layers of timber that are glued together.
Compared to normal timber the laminating process eliminates natural timber knots from penetrating the piece of the timber and thus an incredibly strong and stiffer piece of timber is produced through the laminating process.
Benefits of LVL
- Manufacturing consistency means a reliable products
- They have the strength of steel
- Lighter weight than typical timbers for safer material handling
- Better cost control
- Longer lengths for bigger spans
- Sustainably managed timber is one of the most environmentally timbers available
Are LVLs good for flooring?
Due to LVL’s light weight nature, strength and its manufactured consistency result in a flatter, stronger and more stable structure than traditional timber products.
Why use LVL's in your next build?
- Lvl’s provide your construction project with:
- Consistency – no surprises
- Strength – Structural integrity
- Light weight- For ease and safe handling
- Cost effectiveness – Cost control
- Sustainably sourced – Environmentally friendly materials
