The strength is in the engineering
Pollmeier™ LVL is made in Germany, in Europe’s
most modern laminated veneer lumber factory. Raw
material procurement targets slow grown, selected
logs from surrounding, sustainably managed forests.
The logs are peeled to veneers which are ultrasonically and visually graded.
The veneers are arranged in a specific pattern
using scarf joints to maximize the strength,
stability and stiffness and to disperse the
naturally occurring characteristics of wood, such
as knots, that can weaken a sawn lumber beam. The
veneers are then bonded with waterproof adhesives
under pressure and heat. The entire production
process, from the log to the finished product, runs
under one roof with highest quality control standards.
Pollmeier™ LVL beams are exceptionally strong, solid
and straight, making them excellent for most primary
loadcarrying beam applications.
