In structural construction, large solid timber beams often show uneven load distribution caused by knot concentration and grain variation. Moisture movement may also lead to dimensional changes after installation, while natural log size limits beam length. During production of 12 inch lvl beam, we grade veneers by strength and laminate them in parallel fiber direction under high pressure while maintaining controlled moisture content.
This structure reduces the concentration of natural defects and forms a continuous load path along the beam length. The beams are installed in roof main beams, floor support members, garage door headers, and light-frame timber buildings. Stable dimensions and consistent batches help project buyers manage installation efficiency and material planning.
Advantages
Parallel veneer structure supports continuous load transfer
Graded veneers reduce the influence of knots
Hot pressing forms a stable laminated structure
12-inch depth supports larger structural spans
Consistent dimensions assist installation accuracy
Section and length can follow project requirements
