LVL & runners

Premium Ply LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) is a specially engineered plywood product that provides a high-performance and consistent alternative to steel and solid wood structural uses. Consistently proven for its structural stability, reliability & dimensional stability, Premium Ply LVL has repeatedly proven why it is the best choice for permanent solutions as a construction alternative.

Laminated Veneer Lumber is an engineered wood product manufactured by compressing multiple layers of select hardwood veneers. Premium Ply LVL consists of multiple plies of hardwood veneer, glued together with Phenolic Synthetic Resin adhesive and cross laid to maximise all strength parameters. Automatic glue spreader on core composer’s composed veneer ensures uniform glue application, absorption and retention. Veneer used in the production of Laminated Veneer Lumber is stacked together and bonded under heat and pressure by hot press of high capacity and strong adhesive to form a complete high-quality material. Being an engineered composite material, LVL overcomes the limitation of traditional wood products as it is both warp- and shrink- resistant.

Ever since LVL’s establishment as an excellent alternative to traditional material, it has never failed to inspire architects, designers, builders and end users. It is reliable, consistent and saves time and labour during construction, with an impressive visual appeal.

Our LVL is ideally suited to a wide range of light to heavy structural uses in both commercial and residential applications; including framing, rafters, joists, lintels, trusses, beams, formwork, and scaffold planks. Because of their high-performance characteristics, our LVL products can be used as suitable alternatives to steel, reinforced concrete, solid timber and finger-jointed wood.
