In this episode of WoodSolutions InFocus Laurence visits a factory which produces Laminated Veneer Lumber to see how it is made. Laminated Veneer Lumber, or LVL, is an engineered wood product commonly used in the Australian construction industry. With a very high strength to weight ratio, LVL can handle significant loads and is often used instead of steel.

Thanks for watching our video! Did you get something out of it? Is there another topic about wood, wood products, or designing and building with wood that you would like us to explore? Let us know in the comments and we'll see what we can do.

LVLs are a great product! They allow us to do things that would’ve been impossible before.

Hi there. Do you perhaps know the best way to go about bending my lvl's? I have some and I am wanting to build a spiral staircase of sorts.

I believe my AK-47 stock and handgaurds have something similar. Thin sheets of wood laminated together and, when shaped to its final form, leave beautiful different colored wood layers and is super strong and durable for battlefield wear and tear resistance.

How much would a plant that size cost to get up and running? Because we need a few more LVL manufacturers in Australia to keep up with demand!!

You would be looking at millions of dollars by the time you buy the land in the appropriate land,get resource/building consent,get quotes from construction companies for labour and materials,equipment and machinery and employees.

Very interesting. Just out of curiosity, what is the length of an individual veneer in the same direction as the wood grain. I realize that the length of a billet is not limited by the length of individual veneers because of how they overlap during manufacture, but I am interested in know the answer to this question nevertheless. Thanks.

Question could you make LVL beams out of hard wood like oak or Hickory??

I noticed these lvl's have a yellow tint type color on the finished product. Is this painted or some kind of stain for water protection? How is this done? Just curious
