Laminated Veneered Lumber (LVL) Doors

Flush Panel Doors with a solid laminated veneered lumber (LVL) core. LVL is a high-strength engineered wood made by the bonding of thin pine wood veneers together under heat and pressure. This makes for a robust and high-density material appropriate for both indoor and outdoor application. The core is surrounding by a timber perimeter frame of 35mm stiles and rails. This frame is constructed from KD Hardwood or Finger Jointed Pine.

The LVL Advantage

Laminated Veneered Lumber hosts a number of beneficial properties including:

• High strength material. Among the Solid Core options, LVL stands alongside Blockboard as the highest strength core in terms of structural build. This is a positive for resistance to bowing and warping as well as a protection against impact and security risks.
• High moisture resistance. The makeup of the core is suitable for wet areas such as bathrooms or even sheltered outdoor application.
• Lightweight build. LVL offers the lightest construction among all solid core options.
• Minimal natural flaws. The layered build of LVL reduces natural flaws typically associated with solid timber such as shakes and twists which impact the wood’s overall durability. This means that LVL is not only stronger, but also less prone to shrinkage and warping.
