LVL Joists and Beams

90×45 140×45 240×45 300×45 360×45 and many other sizes

LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) joists and beams are engineered wood products made from multiple layers of thin wood veneers glued together under heat and pressure. They are designed to provide superior strength and performance compared to traditional solid timber products.

• Composition: LVL is typically made from rotary-peeled or sliced veneers of wood species such as pine, spruce, or fir. These veneers are arranged in layers with their grain direction parallel to the length of the member. The layers are bonded together with strong adhesives, resulting in a composite material with excellent strength and dimensional stability.
• Strength and Performance: LVL joists and beams are engineered to have consistent strength properties, allowing for predictable performance in structural applications. They are known for their high load-carrying capacity, stiffness, and resistance to warping, twisting, and shrinking compared to solid timber.
• Applications: LVL joists and beams are used extensively in residential and commercial construction for structural framing elements. They can be used as floor joists, roof beams, lintels, and headers. Their strength-to-weight ratio makes them particularly suitable for long spans and heavy load-bearing applications.
