With our LVL components in spruce (Spruce LVL) or beech (BauBuche), you can optimize your frames and simplify processing.
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) consists of multiple veneer layers stacked and glued together. Natural defects in the wood are evened out across the entire cross-section, resulting in a homogeneous wood material of outstanding strength.
Beside LVL components, we also offer our laminated veneer lumber in board form, giving you the opportunity
to cut your own individual dimensions, even in the smallest quantities for bespoke projects.
Product specifications
Spruce LVL: Our strong and lightweight solution
_ Ideal for components subject to high stress loads
_ Material savings thanks to reduction in cross-sections (downsizing)
_ Light and dimensionally stable
_ Easy processing and machining
_ Suitable for all fastening elements
BauBuche (LVL): The best of both worlds
_ Extremely performing given its hardwood nature
_ Material savings thanks to reduction in cross-sections (downsizing)
_ Highest screw extraction values (pull-out strength)
_ Extremely high bending and compressive strength
Technical details
| Spruce LVL | BauBuche LVL | |
| Bending strength | 50 N/mm² (flatwise) 44 N/mm² (edgewise) | 80 N/mm² (flatwise) 75 N/mm² (edgewise) |
| MoE | 14000 N/mm² | 16800 N/mm² |
| Average density | 540 kg/m³ | 800 kg/m³ |
| Wood moisture content | approx. 7-9 % | approx. 6-8% |
Cost comparison between unedged lumber and Pollmeier Prime Frame components
What else you should know about unedged frame-grade lumber:
Birch frame-grade material
_Moisture problems: Often insufficiently dried wood, increased risk of mold in the frame.
_Warped parts: Poor drying leads to twisting and warping of long parts.
_High variance in sorting: considerable workload.
_Careful: Birch is currently at high risk of being sourced from controversial sources non compliant with FSC- and PEFC regulations. Thus, certificates don’t always align with the origin of the material.
Beech frame-grade lumber
_Measurement: ½ of the wane is also paid for.
_Additional costs: Increased expenses for measurement.
_High processing costs: Many work steps to get to the finished slat.
_Inconsistent wood moisture: high degree of twisting and warpage, especially for long parts.
