LVL raises profitability

LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) provides plywood producers with a cost-effective means of improving their profitability by utilizing their existing technology. This engineered wood product also presents an opportunity to lumber producers who may wish to take advantage of the value-added marketing potential offered by LVL.
 

Unlimited length, a multitude of possibilities

LVL is an engineered product available in almost limitless dimensions. It possesses uniform quality, consistent straightness and is produced to meet the exact specifications of the end-user, with no waste. LVL is used in everything from load-bearing structures to furniture frames.

From low-cost raw material to high value end products

Large dimension LVL can be made from small-diameter trees. This enables low-cost material to be processed into high value end products, which satisfy the requirements of the most demanding end-users. The structural properties of LVL can be tailored to accommodate different raw material densities, veneer thicknesses, veneer qualities, lay-up methods and glues.
