  • Excellent dimensional stability
  • Delivery with low residual moisture
  • Composition exclusively from longitudinal veneer layers
  • Wood from responsible forestry - PEFC certified
Area of application
  • Laminated veneer timber for structural applications in timber construction

Notes

Storage

  • Storage must take place on a level, dry and load-bearing surface.
  • During the construction and storage phases, STEICO LVL must be protected from wetness and damp by taking appropriate measures.
  • In the event of splash water, STEICO LVL must be stored at a minimum distance of 30 cm above the ground.
  • Changes in wood moisture content due to storage conditions are to be expected, as with solid softwood.
  • When opening the packages, care must be taken to ensure the goods are stored safely.
  • Damaged goods must not be used.
  • Standard STEICO LVL packages can weigh up to 4 t.
  • Improper storage and exposure to moisture may lead to changes in cross-sectional dimensions due to swelling and shrinkage during subsequent re-drying.

Disposal

  • Disposal of off-cuts: EAK/AVV 030105, as wood and wood-based materials, waste wood category II
  • Disposal following demolition: EAK/AVV 170201, as wood and wood-based materials, waste wood category II

Working

  • It is worked in a similar way to solid softwood, using standard woodworking machinery.

Health and Safety

  • Appropriate measures must be taken during cutting (dust extraction, dust mask)

Construction moisture

  • Construction moisture, which arises, for example, from fresh screed, plaster or paint, should generally be removed by ventilation.
  • Care should be taken to ensure that the air inside the building remains dry during the construction phase.
  • Additional measures, such as the installation of dehumidifiers, are recommended.
