LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) load bearing beams are engineered wood products made by bonding thin layers of wood veneer together with adhesives. This process creates a beam that is stronger, stiffer, and more dimensionally stable than traditional solid wood beams.
LVL load bearing beams are commonly used in residential and commercial construction for a variety of applications, including:
Benefit | Value |
---|---|
Strength | LVL beams are significantly stronger than solid wood beams of the same size. |
Stiffness | LVL beams are also stiffer than solid wood beams, meaning they will not deflect as much under load. |
Dimensional stability | LVL beams are manufactured to precise dimensions and will not warp or twist over time. |
Versatility | LVL beams can be used in a variety of applications, from residential to commercial construction. |
Sustainability | LVL beams are made from renewable resources and are recyclable. |
LVL load bearing beams have been used in a variety of successful construction projects, including:
To get started with using LVL load bearing beams, follow these steps:
LVL load bearing beams are available with a variety of advanced features, including:
