An engineered beam made of thin wood layers glued together to create strong, consistent structural members.
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product made by bonding multiple thin wood veneers with structural adhesive to create large, uniform structural members. LVL is used for beams, headers, rim boards, and scaffold planks and can be produced in larger sizes than solid sawn lumber. It has consistent structural properties and minimal warping or shrinkage.
The engineer specified a triple 1.75-inch LVL beam to carry the load from the removed load-bearing wall in the open-plan renovation.
