LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber)
NelsonPine LVL is dimensionally stable, resists warping and twisting and is machined to consistently uniform sizes. NelsonPine LVL is manufactured by laminating ultrasonically graded Radiata Pine veneer sheets, using phenolic adhesive, in a continuous assembly in which the grain direction of the veneers are orientated in the longitudinal direction.
Application
NelsonPine LVL is an engineered wood composite made from rotary peeled veneers, laid up with parallel grain orientation. One of the main features of LVL is to disperse or remove strength-reducing characteristics of wood. NelsonPine LVL is an engineered, highly predictable, uniform lumber product, because natural defects such as knots, slope of grain and splits have been dispersed throughout the veneer assembly or have been removed altogether. In addition to this, the veneer sheets are placed in a specific sequence and location within the product to maximise the potential of the stiffer and stronger veneer grades. This can be considered as an engineered configuration of the veneers.
