LVL Formwork Beams
SENSOform ® LVL Formwork Beams Timber are designed to meet the highest standards of structural integrity and performance. Manufactured using advanced laminated veneer lumber (LVL) technology, these beams offer exceptional strength and consistency. Sourced from sustainably managed forests, each beam is painted bright orange or yellow for easy identification and moisture protection.
The production process of SENSOform LVL Formwork Beams adheres to strict quality control measures. The beams are certified by BSI and comply with AS/NZS 4357 standards. This ensures that each beam meets the necessary requirements for structural applications, providing peace of mind for builders and contractors.
One of the standout features of SENSOform LVL Formwork Beams is their uniformity. Unlike traditional timber, LVL is engineered to be consistent in strength and dimensions. This uniformity translates to easier handling and installation on-site, reducing labor costs and construction time.
SENSOform LVL Formwork Beams are also environmentally friendly. The timber used is harvested from FSC-certified plantations, ensuring sustainable sourcing. Additionally, the beams are manufactured with an ‘A’ Bond adhesive, which has low formaldehyde emissions, making them safer for both workers and the environment.
