Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) boasts the following advantages:
Stable quality and uniform strength: LVL disperses and staggers natural defects of logs such as knots and cracks, greatly minimizing their impact on structural strength. Featuring stable quality, consistent strength and low material variability, it is an ideal structural material to replace solid wood.
Customizable dimensions: The size of LVL can be adjusted freely without restrictions from raw materials, achieving a raw material utilization rate of up to 100%.
Excellent workability: LVL can be processed just like natural wood, including sawing, planing, mortising, tenoning and nailing.
Insect, decay, fire and water resistance: LVL gains resistance against insects, rot, fire and water through dedicated pre-treatment and special adhesives applied during production.
Superior seismic and shock absorption performance: It delivers outstanding seismic resistance and shock absorption, and can withstand the effects of cyclic stress.
Cost-effectiveness: LVL creates added value by making full use of small and low-grade wood materials. It can be manufactured from small-diameter logs, crooked timber and short logs, with a lumber yield rate ranging from 60% to 70%.
Flexible specifications: Thanks to its unique production process, LVL dimensions are not limited by log size or veneer specifications. It fully meets the requirements for long-span beams, as well as components for vehicles and ships, with highly flexible and customizable sizes.
In summary, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) performs well in various aspects and is a new type of wood panel with broad application prospects.
