LVL is one of the most versatile engineered wood products combining the world’s finest wood processing technology with eye-catching beauty of natural wood. It is manufactured utilizing parallel laminations of veneer that are glued together, and then treated to produce a material of high thickness just similar to sawn timber. It is the orientation of veneer layers that makes a difference between the basic composition of it from a common piece of wood.

It is a high quality structural material that has uniform engineering attributes backed by superb dimensional flexibility which makes it better than sawn timber. Widely used for permanent structural applications such as beams, lintels, chords, truss and formwork, it can be considered as one of the best possible alternatives to wherever sawn timber is used.

It exemplifies the most contemporary technology in modern engineered wood production with the given below unique features-

It offers possibilities to be engineered to almost any length.
It is the finest quality structural material that has outstanding dimensional flexibility.
Stronger, straighter and more uniform than solid timber, it is away from timber’s limitations like strength-reducing knots.
Having the nature of an engineered product produced by the best plywood manufacturers in India, it offers enhanced durability and almost no proneness to any kind of shrinking or warping.
It is built to support heavier loads, and spans longer distances in comparison to normal timber.
