LVL F17/E14: Engineered Timber for Superior Structural Performance
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) F17/E14 is a premium-grade engineered wood product crafted to meet the rigorous demands of today’s construction industry. Manufactured by bonding multiple layers of thin wood veneers with high-strength adhesives, LVL F17/E14 delivers superior load-bearing capacity, dimensional stability, and environmental safety compared to traditional solid timber.
This product is widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial projects where structural integrity and compliance with Australian standards are non-negotiable.
What Makes LVL F17/E14 Stand Out?
Exceptional Structural Strength (F17 Rating) The F17 rating refers to the timber’s bending strength, indicating that LVL F17 is comparable to or exceeds the performance of high-grade F17 hardwood. This makes it ideal for load-bearing components such as beams, headers, and joists, where strength and reliability are critical.
Low Formaldehyde Emissions (E14 Rating) The E14 classification ensures that the adhesives used in the manufacturing process emit minimal formaldehyde, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. This is especially important for enclosed spaces like homes, schools, and offices, where air quality matters.
Dimensional Stability Unlike solid wood, LVL F17/E14 is engineered to resist warping, twisting, and shrinking. Its layered construction ensures consistent dimensions and performance, even in fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels.
Versatility Across Applications LVL F17/E14 is suitable for a wide range of structural uses, including beams, lintels, floor joists, scaffolding, and prefabricated wall panels. Its uniform strength and predictable behavior make it a favorite among architects, engineers, and builders.
Standards Compliance Manufactured to meet AS/NZS 4357, LVL F17/E14 adheres to strict Australian standards for structural timber. This ensures consistent quality, safety, and performance across all applications.
Sustainable and Efficient LVL is typically made from plantation-grown softwoods, making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional hardwoods. Its efficient use of raw materials also reduces waste and supports eco-conscious building practices.
