Formwork LVL 95*65MM
Formwork LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) is a type of engineered wood product that is specifically designed for use in concrete formwork applications. The dimensions of Formwork LVL can vary depending on the specific project requirements, but a common size for Formwork LVL is 95mm x 65mm.
Formwork LVL is made by laminating together thin layers of wood veneers with a strong adhesive. This process creates a product that is stronger, more consistent, and more dimensionally stable than traditional solid wood formwork. Formwork LVL is designed to withstand the pressure and weight of wet concrete, and it is often used for horizontal and vertical formwork, as well as for formwork beams and joists.
Formwork LVL offers several advantages over traditional formwork materials such as timber or plywood. It is more durable and resistant to warping, swelling, and splitting, which can lead to a smoother and more consistent concrete finish. It is also lighter in weight than traditional formwork materials, making it easier to handle and transport on construction sites.
Formwork LVL can be easily cut and drilled using standard woodworking tools and can be joined together using nails or screws. It is also compatible with many types of formwork hardware and accessories, such as clamps, anchors, and brackets.
Product Description of Formwork LVL 95*65MM:
Full Pine LVL beam, LVL framing, LVL rafters or Strand lumber/Engineered lumber/Wood beam of engineered wood for LVL molding Structural LVL
HW structural laminated veneer lumber (LVL) has been manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 4357 with properties determined in accordance with AS/NZS 4063.2 and therefore complies with the requirements for structural design in accordance with AS1720.1
HW LVL terminator is available in all sizes and is part of the Carter Holt Harvey Terminator range. HW H2-S Terminator is treated against termites south of the Tropic of Capricorn. The treatment is applied to the glue line during manufacture to achieve full termite protection to the core of the beam. No further sealing is required on cut ends, holes, or notches. Other treatment levels are available from suppliers on request, but treatment is limited to above-ground use. hySPAN cannot be readily treated for in-ground contact applications.
HW LVL is manufactured using an ‘A’ Bond with less than 0.5mg/l Formaldehyde (equivalent to E0) emissions from the final product.

For quality assurance, the HW range is manufactured with independent audit processes and product certification. Carter Holt Harvey ensures that its wood is legally sourced from managed forests and offers FSC ‘Chain of Custody’ certification upon request.
HW LVL is produced with a structural grade face and is not generally used in appearance applications at the time of dispatch from the manufacturing site has a moisture content of between 8-15%.

Our LVL formwork beams are painted in colors for moisture protection and ready identification. HW has chamfered edges for ease of handling and a water-repellent paint finish. HW represents a substantial improvement over conventional timber beams and an easier-to-use, more convenient alternative to other materials. It is strong, durable, reliable, and reusable.
Advantages of Formwork LVL 95*65MM:
1. Small logs can be made into large-dimension LVL products.
2. Long lengths of LVL are available up to 12m
The wood resource can be optimized by grading and selecting veneer for different parts of an LVL cross-section and making a range of products with different properties.
The structural properties of LVL are very uniform because the randomized layers of thin veneers are pre-graded for stiffness (coefficient of variation for modulus of elasticity less than 5%).
LVL members have high strength because of the low variability and randomized wood properties in thin layers.
LVL can be cut and machined with normal woodworking tools.
LVL is often used to complement the use of sawn timber in domestic construction.
3. Strength: Formwork LVL is made by laminating together thin layers of wood veneers with a strong adhesive, creating a product that is stronger and more durable than traditional solid wood formwork.
4. Dimensional stability: The manufacturing process used to create Formwork LVL results in a product that is more dimensionally stable than traditional solid wood formwork, meaning it is less likely to warp, twist or bend during use.
5. Resistance to moisture: Formwork LVL is designed to withstand the weight and pressure of wet concrete and is more resistant to warping, swelling, and splitting than traditional timber or plywood formwork.
6. Lighter weight: Formwork LVL is lighter in weight than traditional formwork materials, making it easier to handle and transport on construction sites.
7. Versatility: Formwork LVL is suitable for use in horizontal and vertical formwork, as well as for formwork beams and joists. It can be easily cut and drilled using standard woodworking tools and is compatible with many types of formwork hardware and accessories.
Application of Formwork LVL 95*65MM:
LVL is particularly well suited to the following applications
Rafters and joists
Lintels, beams, and framing members
Truss chords
Portal frames
I-beams
Box-beams
Scaffold planks
Formwork
Panels of LVL are cut into structural members which have high strength and stiffness.
LVL is suited to structural applications such as beams, rafters, and columns in a wide range of buildings including houses, and commercial, industrial, and rural structures. Some special LVL has a small number of veneers laid perpendicularly (cross-banded).
In commercial or industrial structures it is often used as a wood-based alternative to structural steel or reinforced concrete.
