looking for Laminated Veneer Lumber manufacturing plants in USA
 
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is strong, stiff and versatile. It spans long distances. Typically, LVL comes 1 ¾" thick and ranges in depth from 7 ¼" up to 18". To fine-tune the load-carrying potential of a LVL beam, just add another ply to the side of a beam. Labor is a factor. It takes time to laminate multiple layers of LVL. But the upside is that 2 workers can usually handle the weight of each lamination as it is assembled. LVL is carried as a stock item in most lumber yards and it is familiar to most building code officials and designers.
