This LVL beam eliminates twisting, shrinking, and splitting for smoother, quieter floors and structures. Its consistent strength and lack of camber means there's no top or bottom side. Compared to other glulam or dimension lumber products, it can support heavier loads and longer spans due to superior properties. Made in a factory with specific guidelines, it boasts straighter, more uniform construction. Like plywood, it lacks cross bands, but stands out in bending strength and E-value, making it the leading choice for performance, longer spans, and overall value. When you need a sturdy beam, look no further than LVL.
