Laminated Veneer Lumber
Laminated Veneer Lumber is an engineered, layered composite of wood veneers and adhesive, and an alternative to sawn solid wood. It combines the best of modern process technology with the aesthetic beauty of natural timber.
LVL improves the strength of wood by dispersing the weakness from defects (e.g. a knot) over a larger area. In effect, It strengthens the weakest part of a lengthy wood.
Advantages
Doors manufactured using Aditya LVL is adhered to IS:4020-1994 standards.
LVL is environment friendly since it is made from Non-Conventional Plantation Timber grown outside the forest system. Impregnation pressure with chemicals make it termite and other insect proof. LVL is solid, highly predictable and uniformly engineered wood product that is sawn to consistent sizes and is virtually free from warping and splitting. It has high bending, shear strength and strength to width ratio.
It is a strong, durable and stable substitute for conventional wood for buildings, furniture and any other general wood works. It has properties better than wood since it has eliminated all defects like knots, sloped grains and splits found in plantation wood.
