Important characteristics of laminated
veneer lumber
We have a very wide range of laminated
veneer lumber / timber -

our customers
choose a type and
size of the timber,
according to their
own wishes and
recommendations
of our specialists,
taking into account
features of the
model of a wooden
house, its
destination and
climatic conditions

We advise you to
take into
consideration when
choosing the type
of house, that the
walls of a
wooden house
would be:
more reliable if
made of
lumbers instead
of logs;
stronger if
made of
lumbers instead
of logs.
Let's start with the
favorable
differences of
houses made of a
laminated veneer
lumber from
houses of a round
log:

1. Walls of a
wooden house of a
laminated veneer
lumber does not
require additional
finishing either
outside or inside -
such house has an
elegant appearance
by itself, whereas,
the external finish
should be done in a
wooden house
made of round
logs, otherwise, the
house will resemble
a traditional hut
with dusty crowns.
2. Due to the tight
fit, and thanks to its
special profile, the
laminated veneer
lumber greatly
8/9/20, 1)09 PM
Page 5 of 17
exceeds the log on
the degree of
thermal insulation.
3. The wooden
house of the
laminated veneer
lumber is more
reliable, since high
precision of lumber
profiling eliminates
possibility of
distortions and
inconsistencies.
4. If over time,
some cracks would
occur in the timber,
in the laminated
veneer lumber, the
cracks will be much
smaller in depth
and width than in
the round log - it is
8/9/20, 1)09 PM
Page 6 of 17
due to the nature of
the timber internal
stress.
5. Wooden house
of laminated veneer
lumber will be built
faster than log
wooden house,
because the house
of laminated veneer
lumber is
constructed as a
type of the
children's designer
6.The shrinkage of
the wooden house
of laminated veneer
lumber is less than
the shrinkage of the
log wooden
houses.

7. Form of the
lumber is such that
the rain and
moisture penetrate
less between
lumbers than
between round
logs.
5 main advantages
of laminated veneer
lumber
Finnish
professionals
believe: no matter
what type of
wooden house you
prefer, the lumber
should be only
glued!
The fact is that we
produce wooden
houses of
8/9/20, 1)09 PM
Page 8 of 17
laminated veneer
lumber according
to the most
advanced
technologies and,
therefore, those
houses have both
excellent exterior
quality and the
highest
performance.
1. Shrinkage of the
House
The perfect quality
of the laminated
veneer lumber is
achieved due to the
fact that we
optimally pull
together and glue
it, thanks to our
clear and high-
precision
calculations.

The unique features
that our laminated
veneer lumber are
achieved due to the
special bonding
technology, in
which the adjacent
layers of wood
collected in the
timber have
different directions
of wood fibers,
which makes the
laminated veneer
lumber more stable
to the perception of
large loads.
Shrinkage occurs in
all buildings of
laminated veneer
lumber / timber in
the first year of
operation,
8/9/20, 1)09 PM
Page 10 of 17
immediately after
installing of the hot
circuit and after the
first dry season. It
takes place for the
following reasons:
By reducing
horizontal
seams between
parts of the
house.
Due to the
influence of
external
weather
conditions
during the
assembly of the
house.
Increasing
humidity in
details placed in
close proximity
to the surface
8/9/20, 1)09 PM
Page 11 of 17
of the earth and
concrete
structures, is
particularly
notable. In
addition, during
construction,
wooden
structures may
easily absorb
moisture from
the atmosphere
and
precipitation,
despite the
hydro-
protection of
wood.
Shrinkage
depending on
the type and
weight of the
roofing, and on
8/9/20, 1)09 PM

paint colors of
external walls.
The darker
color you
choose for the
house, the
stronger its
south side will
be heated, and,
accordingly,
that wall will
sooner shrink.
Therefore, that
wall should be
checked by
experts more
closely and
more carefully
regulated.
IMPORTANT:IMPORTANT:
In order to ensure
that shrinkage of
the house there has
occurred uniformly,
the structure must
8/9/20, 1)09 PM
Page 13 of 17
be carefully
checked and
adjusted by
professionals twice
during the first year
of operation.
2. Cracks in the
House
Wood is a natural
material and no
wooden
production, even
with using of the
most recent
technologies
cannot prevent
occurrence of
cracks in walls
made of round
logs.
Wooden houses of
laminated veneer
lumber, dried, sawn
8/9/20, 1)09 PM
Page 14 of 17
and glued correctly,
will not crack over
time; even if it
happens, it will not
affect the quality
and reliability of the
house.
Also, you should
know that the
darker the color of
the house you
choose, the more
intense it will attract
the sun's rays.
Therefore, the
southern side of the
house is exposed to
the appearance of
cracks in a greater
degree.

3. Finishing Work
The house of the
laminated veneer
lumber does not
require labor-
intensive interior
finishing work. The
modern wooden
house does not
have the
disadvantages - its
walls are flat and
smooth. The walls
of wooden houses
of the laminated
veneer lumber look
like a monolith, and
a large load
carrying capacity of
laminated
structures allows
embodying in
timber the most
daring architectural
solutions.

4. Thermal
Performance
Houses of the
laminated veneer
lumber have the
highest thermal
insulation
characteristics that
are considerably
superior those of
the houses made of
any other building
materials.
5. Strength of
Adhesive Joint
Strength of
Adhesive Joint
greatly exceeds the
strength of the
wood itself.
Constructions and
8/9/20, 1)09 PM
Page 17 of 17
houses of
laminated veneer
lumber may be very
large, because the
laminated board
can be of any
length, and it is
possible to cover
large spans
between the walls
and design free any
spaces with large
areas.
