Canada and USA LVL Scaffolding Plank
LVL scaffolding plank refers to laminated veneer lumber planks that are used for scaffolding purposes. Both Canada and the USA manufacture and supply LVL scaffolding planks to meet the demands of the construction industry.
In Canada, LVL scaffolding planks are typically made from a combination of softwood veneers that are glued together using an adhesive. These planks are known for their strength and durability, and they are designed to meet the strict standards of the Canadian Wood Council.
Similarly, in the USA, LVL scaffolding planks are also made from a combination of veneers that are glued together to form a strong and sturdy plank. These planks are manufactured according to the standards set by the American Plywood Association, and they are widely used in the construction industry.

Features & Advantages of of LVL Scaffolding Plank
- High strength and durability: LVL scaffolding planks are made by laminating several thin layers of wood veneer together with high-strength adhesives, resulting in a plank that is stronger and more durable than solid wood planks of the same dimensions.
- Consistent quality: LVL scaffolding planks are manufactured in a controlled environment, ensuring that each plank is of consistent quality and strength, making them safer and more reliable to use on job sites.
- Lightweight: Despite their strength, LVL scaffolding planks are relatively lightweight compared to solid wood planks of the same size, making them easier to handle and transport on job sites.
- Resistance to warping and splitting: Because LVL planks are made from thin layers of wood that are glued together, they are less prone to warping, cracking, and splitting than solid wood planks, making them safer to use on job sites.
- Customizable: LVL scaffolding planks can be cut to size and shaped to fit specific job requirements, making them versatile and adaptable for a variety of construction and industrial applications.

Applications & comments of LVL Scaffolding Plank
Used in place of metal scaffold boards or conventional timber. LVL Scaffold planks are affordable, tough and long lasting, especially in corrosive enviroments. Wax emulsion end sealing reduces moisture ingress. The timber is sourced from FSC certified plantations which means that it is sustainable. LVL Scaffold planks are durable and have extremely long lifespans, they are also light and easy to handle.
