Characteristics of Laminated Veneer Lumber

Characteristics of Laminated Veneer Lumber

(1) Strength properties.

The strength-to-weight ratio of laminated veneer is better than that of steel. Laminated veneer lumber is a wood structural material, and its strength properties have a great influence on its application. According to practical results, it is believed that although some properties of laminated veneer lumber are not as good as the finished product, the laminated veneer lumber makes the defects of the log itself (knots, cracks, decay, etc.) evenly distributed in the laminated veneer lumber (LVL). The average performance is better than that of finished products.

(2) Creep performance.

Laminated veneer has good creep resistance.

(3) Fire resistance.

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) has better fire resistance than steel.

(4) Durability

The damage of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) after accelerated aging test is the smallest than that of the glued layer when the lumber is glued.

(5) Specifications

Due to its special production method, the size of this material is not limited by the size of logs or veneer specifications, and can fully meet the needs of large-span beams and vehicles and ships, and the specifications and dimensions are flexible and free to choose.

(6) Processability The processing of processable laminated veneer is as convenient as that of wood, and it can be sawed, sliced, chiseled, tenoned and nailed.

(7) Stability The laminated structure of veneer laminate greatly reduces the possibility of warping and distortion, so it has good stability.
