Features and Benefits

Takes advantage of these characteristics by offering a high-strength product line

Stiffness (related to E value) is not the same as strength (Fb and Fv) and is not always the controlling factor in design applications

In a marketplace that charges premiums for high MOE products, West Fraser's product offering provides a 1.9e or 1.8e LVL that has superior strength properties than much of the 2.0e available in North America

West Fraser LVL has better than average Fb and Fv values relative to MOE so is a cost efficient solution compared to other premium priced products especially when strength performance is needed but expensive high MOE is not required nor the controlling factor in design

Compared with similar sized sections, West Fraser's LVL headers and beams can support heavier loads and allows greater spans than conventional lumber
