LVL Bar

LVL beams - from the English Laminated Veneer Lumber - a structural building material. Timber is made of layers of veneer sheets of softwood such as pine, spruce and larch. Manufacturing technology of LVL beams - gluing together several layers of veneer thickness of 3mm. In the manufacture of watching the direction of the fiber layers, the fibers are arranged in parallel. This is a distinctive aspect of veneer plywood.
Since its inception in 1935 LVL 30 years had passed before the material became commercially popular.
LVL beam has a uniform structure, making it highly durable under loads. With its timber properties applicable to bearing framing members such as ridge beams, rafter feet, beam floor decks. In the production of LVL beam length depends on the customer, the length can reach up to 24 meters. Bruce has a high resistance to aggressive environments poet applied in agriculture, swimming pools, warehouses.
advantages of LVL:
In comparison with laminated veneer lumber LVL beam has greater strength thanks to its technology - the location of the layers of veneer on each other. Homogeneity, immutability in length, has a constant physical properties. Physical properties of LVL beam does not depend on the season. With its large size has no more strength. The absence of cold bridges on fastening elements.

Dimensions LVL:
The material has the following dimensions are multiples of the thickness of veneer - 3 mm minimum thickness - 21 mm, maximum - 75 mm. Width: 40, 66, 160, 200, 260, 300, 360, 450, 600, 900 and 1800 mm.
