Laminated Veneer Lumber II


 Here are some more pictures of a LVL flooring system. These were found in a Brownstone being renovated in the South End. Notice the sprinkler head, more on this in the next post. Once again, when this project is finished you will not be able to tell that a LVL flooring system is present.
 Click on the photo and you can get a really good look at the web member and see the web is made up of pieces of wood glued together under high-pressure. Good for strength but easily damaged to the point of failure under fire conditions.
