LVL

Type of Lumber: LVL

American residential wooden house construction detail in blue sunny day skyLVL is an engineered wood that has been created to bear heavy loads. It is mainly used for structural beams and other structural work. It is especially useful for architectural purposes, because it can be engineered to be longer than most lumber beams can be. Also its engineering standards have also made it possible to bear loads that standard lumber would not be able to bear. It is highly durable, and its engineering makes it uniformly straight.

LVL is often used for structural work for roofing including ridge beams, strutting beams, hanging beams, and valley or hip rafters. It can also be used for long span joists and floor bearers. It is also used for framing purposes including window and door framing. Discuss your building and project with our building experts.
