Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is a high-strength engineered wood product used primarily for structural applications. It is comparable in strength to solid timber, concrete and steel and is manufactured by bonding together rotary peeled or sliced thin wood veneers under heat and pressure. LVL is used for permanent structural applications including beams, lintels, purlins, truss chords and formwork. Thus, LVL can be used wherever sawn timber is used but one of the main advantages of LVL is that it can be manufactured to almost any length.
