Structural timber - Import export

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is a designed wood product that uses several layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives. It is usually used for headers, beams, curbs and materials for forming edges. LVL offers several advantages over typical ground lumber; Manufactured in a factory according to the controlled specifications, it is stronger, straighter and more uniform. Due to its composite nature, it is much less likely than conventional timber to deform, twist, throw or shrink. LVL is a type of structural composite timber, comparable to glued laminated timber (Gluelam), but with a higher allowable stress.
