Laminated Veneer Lumber. Composite of wood veneer sheet elements joined with an adhesive with wood fibers primarily oriented along the length of the member. Veneer thickness does not exceed 0.25".
Laminated Veneer Lumber . LVL is manufactured by laminating veneer with all grain laid-up parallel. It can be manufactured by using various species of wood fiber in various thicknesses.
Laminated Veneer Lumber. Structural grade timber veneers glued together under pressure to form a dimensionally stable and uniform product. An engineered (man-made) wood product that is a substitute for dimensional lumber. LVL is glued such that the grain direction of all veneers is parallel; this is different than plywood in which the grain directions of adjacent veneers is perpendicular to one another. LVL and other composite lumber products have a number of advantages over solid lumber, including the ability to make large-sized members from small diameter trees. Such products also allow the dispersion of gross defects such as large knots.
Laminated veneer lumber. Large sheets of veneer bonded together with resin, then cut to lumber-equivalent sizes.
aminated eneer umber An engineered wood product created by layering selected dried and graded wood veneers with waterproof adhesive into blocks of material known as billets. This product is manufactured to disperse wood's natural defects, such as knots, thus minimizing their effect on performance and stability. Before bonding, the grain of the component wood pieces making up each layer is placed at right angles to the grain of each other successive layer, adding strength and helping to prevent warpage in the finished product. These blocks are then sawn into popular lumber sizes. Marketed under the trade name Microllam®, LVL can be made with wood from smaller, faster-growing trees. Microllam products are typically available in various thicknesses and widths that can be wider in dimension that native grown lumber. LVL is also known as Structural Composite Lumber (SCL).
beam made from laminated veneer lumber or equivalent
Laminated Veneer Lumber – A combination of many pieces of veneered lumber glued together to give added structural capabilities. Often used in window or door frames.
Laminated Veneer Lumber. A structural beam composed of wood laminates. They are pressure bonded with adhesives to attain a high integrity structural beam.
laminated veneer lumber. A structural lumber manufactured from veneers laminated into a panel with the grain of all the veneers running parallel to each other.

Laminated veneer lumber. Beams made from thin layers of wood, similar to thick pieces of plywood.
Abbreviation for laminated veneer lumber. LVL is a manufactured wood product, in which veneer layers are adhesively bonded into a layup of multiple thicknesses. LVL is made to specified strengths and is used for structural purposes.
Laminated veneer lumber is used also as a beam or can be used as floor joists in a regular timber floor frame. LVL takes on the appearance of plywood on edge and it is considered a stable and strong alternative to seasoned hardwood.
laminated veneer lumber metre
Laminated Veneer Lumber. Created by parallel lamination of veneers into a thickness normal to solid sawn lumber, which is 3/4" to 2 1/4" and is considered engineered lumber.
