laminated veneer lumber
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered timber product made by bonding thin wood veneers together with strong adhesive layers. These layers are arranged with grain parallel to the length of the beam, creating a strong, stable, and uniform piece of wood. LVL is used in construction for beams, headers, and other structural applications because it offers high strength, consistency, and efficient use of wood resources. Its precise manufacturing process results in a durable material that performs reliably under load, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial building projects.
