LVL Product Features

LVL product features

(1) Strength properties.

The strength-to-weight ratio of laminated veneer is better than that of steel. Laminated veneer lumber is a wood structural material, and its strength properties have a great influence on its application. According to practical results, it is believed that although some properties of laminated veneer lumber are not as good as the finished product, the laminated veneer lumber makes the defects of the log itself (knots, cracks, decay, etc.) evenly distributed in the laminated veneer lumber (LVL). The average performance is better than that of finished products.

(2) Creep performance.

Laminated veneer has good creep resistance.

(3) Fire resistance.

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) has better fire resistance than steel.

(4) Durability

The damage of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) after accelerated aging test is the smallest than that of the glued layer when the lumber is glued.

(5) Specifications

Due to its special production method, the size of this material can not be limited by log size or veneer specifications, and can fully meet the requirements of large-span beams

And the needs of vehicles and ships, and the specifications and sizes are flexible and can be freely selected.

(6) Processability

Machinable Laminated Veneer is as easy to process as wood, and can be sawed, sliced, chiseled, tenoned and nailed.

(7) Stability

The laminated structure of laminated veneer greatly reduces the possibility of deformation such as warping and twisting, so it has good stability.

(8) Vibration resistance

Laminated veneer has strong anti-vibration and damping properties, can resist fatigue damage caused by cyclic stress, and can be used as a structural material.

(9) Flame retardancy

Due to the time nature of the wood pyrolysis process and the glued structure of LVL, LVL as a structural material has better fire resistance than steel. A fire test conducted by Japan on an American-style wooden house shows that its fire resistance is not less than 2 hours, while the lighter steel structure will lose its support ability within 1 hour after it encounters a fire.
