What are the key differences between laminated veneer lumber and plywood in terms of their structural properties and applications?
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is made by bonding thin wood veneers together with adhesives, resulting in a strong and stable material. It is typically stronger and more uniform than plywood, making it suitable for heavy structural applications such as beams and headers. Plywood, on the other hand, is made by layering thin sheets of wood at right angles to each other, providing strength in multiple directions. Plywood is versatile and commonly used in construction for sheathing, subfloors, and furniture.

What is LVL?
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is a material made of thick veneers laminated along the grain direction, hot pressed and glued, and then sawed. Compared with solid wood, LVL has the advantages of uniform structure, high strength and good dimensional stability, which can meet the application requirements of wood structure building, bridge, furniture and transportation. Main species: Masson pine laminated veneer, eucalyptus laminated veneer, Yunnan pine laminated veneer, Larch laminated veneer, poplar laminated veneer, bamboo bundle laminated veneer, bamboo and wood composite laminated veneer.
