What Is a LVL Wood Beam?

Structural construction lvl beam is an engineered wood product used for load-bearing applications in construction, such as beams, columns, lintels and posts. It is made by bonding thin layers of boards together with strong adhesives, resulting in a highly durable and dimensionally stable product.

FUQING STRUCTURAL LVL TYPES

E10 Structural LVL

E10 Structural LVL has an elastic modulus of 10 GPa. This rating helps determine its suitability for various structural applications based on the load-bearing requirements.

E11 Structural LVL is a high-performance engineered wood product ideal for demanding structural applications. Its higher stiffness and strength, combined with its consistent quality and dimensional stability, make it a preferred choice in modern construction.

E12 Structural LVL

E12 Structural LVL is compatible with standard metal connectors, nails, and screws, with specific manufacturer recommendations for optimal performance.

E13 Structural LVL

E13 Structural LVL is a high-strength, versatile, and reliable engineered wood product suitable for various structural applications, offering many advantages over traditional lumber.

E14 Structural LVL

E14 Structural LVL provides a robust yet lightweight solution compared to traditional lumber of the same size, and is suitable for use in formwork systems for concrete structures.

E15 Structural LVL

E15 Structural LVL is a top-tier engineered wood product known for its exceptional strength, stiffness, and reliability.

E16 Structural LVL

E16 Structural LVL is deal for supporting heavy loads in framing structures, especially over wide spans where strength and stiffness are crucial.

Characteristics of Fuqing Structural LVL

1. Small logs can be made into large size LVL wood products.

2. High strength: LVL lumber has been carefully engineered to be stronger and more consistent than traditional solid wood beams. This means it can support heavier loads with minimal deflection.

3. Dimensional Stability: LVL timber is less likely to warp, twist or bend than traditional solid timber beams, resulting in a more stable, horizontal structure.

4. Versatility: LVL lumber is available in a wide range of sizes, thicknesses and lengths, making it suitable for a wide range of construction applications.

5. Sustainability: LVL lumber is typically made from fast-growing trees, and the manufacturing process produces less waste than other wood products. Therefore, LVL is considered an environmentally friendly building material.

6. Easy to Install: LVL lumber is easy to cut and install using traditional framing methods such as nails and screws. It is also compatible with many types of connectors and hardware, including studs and hangers.
