Overview. Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is a high-strength engineered wood product used primarily for structural applications. It is comparable in strength to solid timber, concrete and steel and is manufactured by bonding together rotary peeled or sliced thin wood veneers under heat and pressure. LVL was developed in the 1970s and is today used for permanent structural applications including beams, lintels, purlins, truss chords and formwork.
Spandrel Beam. A horizontal structural beam or girt that spans between two or more supports to resist vertical and/or horizontal loads. In metal buildings, a common application is to support the lateral loads at the top of a concrete masonry or precast wall.
