Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) from Vietnam
Dongstar Wood supplies pine laminated veneer lumber for buyers sourcing specified sections and cut lengths from Vietnam. Send your component drawing, intended use and order quantity to discuss the appropriate LVL specification.
LVL is made from bonded wood veneers with the grain running mainly along the length. Often searched for as “LVL plywood,” it has a different veneer arrangement from conventional plywood. Product selection should account for the lay-up, bonding requirements and intended application—not dimensions alone.

What Is LVL, and How Does It Differ from Plywood?
Laminated veneer lumber is manufactured by bonding thin veneers into a specified lay-up. Its veneers are oriented mainly in the longitudinal direction. Conventional plywood generally alternates grain direction between adjacent layers.
This distinction matters when specifying a component: loading direction and veneer orientation affect how the material performs. Some LVL constructions include cross-oriented veneers, so the actual lay-up should be identified rather than assumed from the product name.
For narrow components, specify the finished section and length. For broad panels used as surfaces or linings, compare the requirements with commercial plywood.
Advantages of LVL Plywood
1. LVL plate can be the scar joints, cracks and other defects of logs scattered, staggered, thus greatly reducing the impact on the strength, so that its quality is stable, uniform strength, material variability is small, is the replacement of solid wood is the most ideal structural material.
2. The size can be adjusted at will, not affected by the shape and defects of logs, LVL plate longest up to 8 meters, the thickest up to 300MM, according to their own material conditions, select size specifications, arbitrary cutting, raw material utilization rate up to 100%.
3. LVL processing and wood, sawing, planing, gouging, opening tenon, nail, etc.
4. LVL has insect prevention, corrosion prevention, fire prevention, waterproof and other properties, mainly in the production process of the corresponding pretreatment or use of special adhesive.
5. LVL has strong seismic performance and shock absorption performance and can resist the fatigue damage caused by periodic stress.
6.Tthis product is green, pollution-free, in the production process using high quality environmental adhesive; Formaldehyde emissions meet the standards of developed countries, ensuring your health.
FAQ
1. Is LVL Plywood stronger than solid wood or regular plywood?
Yes.
LVL offers higher bending strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability than solid wood or standard plywood.
Its engineered structure minimizes knots, warping, and internal defects—ideal for high-load and repetitive-use conditions in construction.
2. Is LVL Plywood moisture-resistant?
LVL is naturally more stable than solid wood, but moisture resistance depends on the glue type:
WBP Phenolic Glue: Best for formwork, humid environments, and repeated reuse.
Melamine Glue: Suitable for general indoor structural use.
For long-term outdoor exposure, LVL should be surface-treated or sealed to improve durability.
3. What are the most common thicknesses and sizes for LVL Plywood?
Typical B2B-requested specifications include:
- Thickness: 38 mm, 42 mm, 45 mm, 63 mm
- Width: 90–300 mm
- Length: 1,000–6,000 mm
- Moisture Content: 8–12%
Custom size LVL beams or sheets are commonly available depending on project needs.
4. How many times can LVL Formwork Beams be reused?
With WBP glue and proper edge sealing, LVL beams can typically be reused 20–30 times.
