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.
Prior to drilling any vertical holes, an engineer or architect qualified in wood design should be consulted. Use a drill guide to minimize âwanderingâ of the bit as it passes through knots or material of varying density and to insure a true alignment of the hole through the depth of the beam.his causes a reduction in the beam capacity. For this reason, horizontal holes in LVL are limited in size and location to maintain the structural integrity of the beam. Figure 2 shows the zones of a uniformly loaded beam in simple or multiple spans, where the field drilling of holes may be considered.
