Laminated veneer lumber is the core product of Evolution and one we do exceptionally well. LVL is an engineered wood product that has gained significant popularity in the construction industry due to its exceptional strength, stability, and versatility.
The veneers used in Evolution LVL are carefully selected to ensure uniformity and minimal defects. They are then ultrasound graded, resulting in a product with consistent mechanical properties every time.
As well as standard Raw LVL, Evolution is one of the leading producers in preservative-treated options. The veneer and glue line may be treated with preservatives to protect against both rot and insect attack for all above-ground applications including external options such as decking sub-frames.

Fire-rated LVL Beams
Evolution Fire Rated LVL Beams offer the strength and stability of LVL with Class A fire resistance for projects that need protection against brushfires and intense heat.
Time is the key safety currency in a fire – Class A LVL buys time. Fire Rated LVL provides precious extra time for occupants to exit a structure in case of fire, potentially saving the lives of both occupants and firefighters. It does this by slowing fire spread, reducing smoke, limiting flashover risk and maintaining structural integrity longer than solid timber under high-temperature conditions.
