Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) by Stora Enso is a mass timber product that is twice as strong as steel in proportion to weight. It provides an ideal solution when strength, dimensional stability, and high load-bearing capacity are essential.
LVL is made from multiple veneers of strength-graded dried wood bonded together in a factory-controlled environment. It can be prefabricated to precision dimensions and is easy to combine with other materials.
LVL by Stora Enso is made from 3 mm thick veneers bonded together with high-strength adhesive. The logs used to manufacture LVL are peeled and dried so any natural defects in the wood are spread throughout the veneer. Together with the lamination effect, this results in straight and uniform material with high strength and stiffness.
The layering of the veneers affects the strength, properties, and capabilities of a grade and makes it most suitable for a particular use.
