What is LVL?
LVL, or laminated veneer lumber, is a layered composite of wood veneers and adhesive. LVL is a solid, highly predictable, uniform lumber product because natural defects such as knots, slope of grain and splits have been dispersed throughout the material or have been removed altogether. In residential construction LVL is often used for structural framing and is a good alternative where open web steel joists or light steel beams might be considered.
