PWT Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) beams are exceptionally strong, solid and straight, making them excellent for most primary load-carrying beam applications.
This LVL is made from ultrasonically and visually graded veneers that are arranged in a specific pattern to maximize the strength and stiffness of the veneers and to disperse the naturally occurring characteristics of wood, such as knots, that can weaken a sawn lumber beam. The veneers are then bonded with waterproof adhesives under pressure and heat.
LVL is a vast improvement over traditional lumber for many applications. Problems that naturally occur as sawn lumber dries, including twisting, splitting, checking, crowning, and warping, are greatly reduced.
This 1-1/2" thickness 2.0E 2900Fb LVL is available in a range of depths and lengths. A water resistant coating called SiteCote is applied for extra weather protection during construction.
