At Wilson Lumber, we’re always looking for ways to provide our customers with high-quality, reliable building materials. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest addition—Murphy LVL Structural Lumber.
Laminated Veneer Lumber
Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product designed for superior strength, stability, and performance. Murphy's LVL is known for its exceptional quality, making it an excellent choice for load-bearing applications such as beams, headers, and joists. Providing the superior performance and durability of engineered wood, Murphy's LVL is perfectly suited to spans bearing heavy loads and multi-span applications.
Common problems associated with lumber sizes – like decreased dimensional stability and uniformity – do not apply to their LVLs, which utilize ultrasonically tested and graded Douglas fir veneer.
Checking is minimized because Murphy's LVLs are cured in a controlled process in which waterproof adhesives boost stability and reduce warps and twists. All products are machine-ripped to generate uniform size and rigid, flat surfaces with inherently superior nail-holding characteristics.
These are fully sealed with a factory-applied, industry-leading premium-grade sealer. The sealer repels water absorption and improves durability during typical yard distribution and job site storage conditions. They are third-party inspected and audited for quality by APA (The Engineered Wood Association), a leading industry quality assurance organization.
Why Murphy LVL?
- Strength & Durability: Manufactured for greater load capacity and resistance to warping, splitting, and shrinking
- Consistency: Engineered for uniformity, LVL provides predictable performance with fewer natural defects than traditional lumber
- Sustainability: Made from renewable wood resources, Murphy LVL is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional lumber
- Precision Engineering: Each LVL is machine-ripped and ultrasonically tested for strength, ensuring higher quality and reliability in every piece
- Longer Spans Murphy LVL allows for greater spans with fewer support columns, offering more open and flexible design possibilities
