Weyerhauser referred to the product as “Microlam” for two years until then changed it to “Microllam.” Many still refer to Microlam when speaking of Microllam as they are frequently interchanged to identify all types of laminated veneer lumber. Microlam and Microllam refer to the same LVL product. Microlam is a common misspelling of Microllam, a Weyerhauser brand of engineered wood products. They are cut to size, wrapped, and prepped for storage or transportation. The process to get to a finished LVL beam starts with debarking the log, then rotary peeling the veneer to send the sheets to the jet tube dryers to reduce the moisture content to 8-10%.Īfter drying, the manufacturer grades the veneer sheets, gets a resin application, and compresses the sheets until dry. ![]() The most common wood used in LVL beams is Douglas fir. During World War II, plywood became an essential war material. There is recorded use by the Chinese, English, French, and Russians well before the 20th century, and it received its first patent in 1856. An LVL engineering process uses multiple layers of thin wood assembled with adhesives.Įngineered lumber was first seen in use as early as ancient Egypt. LVL is typically made in a factory, straighter, more uniform, and stronger than traditional milled lumber. The difference is that plywood changes the grain’s direction with each layer, and LVL keeps the grain direction the same. LVL stands for Laminated Veneer Lumber and is similar to plywood in appearance. LVL products can be preservative in H2 or H3 to against termite and refer to AS1604.Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: What is Laminated Veneer Lumber? (LVL) ().Branding -Each piece of LV L shows the evidence of compliance with manufacturing control standards Storage - Place on leveled ground and keep the product dry and maintain ventilation.Finish - Arris edge and painted surface.Bond-Bond quality in any single glue line of not less than 2 and average of not less than 5.Adhesive - Phenolic for maldehyde Resin adhesive.Our product also meets the Australian Standards, we ensure your health. Our LVL product is environmentally friendly, and pollution free. ![]() LVL is more flexible there are wide range of sizes available, more infto in the following section.LVL is most widely used over 30 years and well known as highly reliable building material.Even in the extreme weather, it will be less likely to twist or shrink.LVL is created with multi-layers therefore makes it stronger, straighter, durable and more uniform.LVL can be used for many structural applications, such as joists, truss,beam, frame and so on.į11 L VL or some people call E10.5 IVL can be use for framing to replace MGP 10 and more stronger and more straighter.į17+/E14 LVL, can be use for stud, top and bottom plate, beams and lintel and so on.
