LVL

LVL PL-Lam consists of multiple 3mm thick veneer layers, bonded by a high strength, heat-resistant adhesive. Precision peeling and bonding of the veneers reduce natural imperfections in the wood fiber, ensuring strength and reliability throughout the member. These elements combine to create a homogeneous and efficient engineered wood product that is tailor-made for all of your LVL applications. PK-Lam enables the use of smaller wood-based cross-sections due to its higher strength values when compared with solid sawn timbers resulting in material and cost savings. Achieve excellence in construction with the superior performance of PK-Lam.
