Benefits of LVL

LVL is an energy-efficient building material with a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it an ideal substitute for steel in many construction applications.

Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an energy-efficient building material and has an extremely high strength-to-weight ratio making it the ideal substitute for steel in many construction applications.

Wesbeam LVL is engineered to be strong and straight and can be used as a replacement not only for steel but also for traditional hardwoods which are sourced from old growth forests in the south-west of Western Australia or South East Asia.

The Strength of Steel

Wesbeam LVL has a high strength-to-weight ratio due to the properties of Maritime Pine combined with our unique engineering and manufacturing process. This makes it a suitable replacement for steel in many structures. LVL is easy to work with and reduces the overall amounts of material needed in a project.
