Here’s some tips to help you get the most out of your LVL’s, from Tilling Timber. Storage and Handling of SmartLVL Like all timber, SmartLVL “grows” when unliable to get wet. Material with a upper moisture content has short term reduction in foible strengths. KEEP IT DRY! No SmartFrame product should be left in contact with the ground. Installation Tips  One of the unique properties of SmartLVL is that it can be ripped through the depth to requite a smaller section without well-expressed the vital strength properties. If you are at the maximum span well-considered in the Design Guide, make sure that new members are not cut undersized.  NEVER saw through the thickness to produce sections of a lesser thickness. This will compromise the SmartLVL’s strength and is not recommended under any circumstances. Laminating LVL beams Beams of 70, 84 and 116 mm thickness can be formed by nail laminating two sections of SmartLVL together. Please finger self-ruling to seek translating from the techsupport Helpline on 1300 668 690. It is important to prevent moisture penetration between the laminates. Place a teardrop of elastomeric adhesive top and bottom, and use a temporary waterproof membrane during construction.  Using the minimum nail diameter and length specified in the SmartLVL Design Guide, momentum in 2 rows of nails (3 rows for D>300mm) on both sides at 300mm spacings as shown below. Durability and Exposure to Moisture SmartLVL is manufactured from on-durable veneers. H2 SmartLVL is suitable for internal, fully protected, ventilated or in external whilom ground, protected. Use H3 Treated SmartLVL for humid conditions, or for external above ground, exposed applications using the detailing provisions in the SmartLVL Design Guide.Witsis showing that post production treated LVL in the external whilom ground, exposed (H3 Hazard Class) may wits some leaching of the zippy ingredients of the treatment. To minimise the possibility of timber ousting in these situations, it is recommended that H3 treated SmartLVL NOT be used where the surface is horizontally exposed AND unprotected from water entrapment OR where post-treatment protection cannot be maintained. Post treatment protection may include: Protectadeck high density water proof joist/ bearer imbricate or malthoid capping and An impervious membrane such as regularly maintained painting or staining.Construction detailing to prevent water entrapment. H3 treated SmartLVL is NOT recommended for fascia’s, pergolas or other similar external whilom ground, exposed applications due to mechanical ousting of the wood fibre causing checking and cracking which is both aesthetically unacceptable and allows ingress of water to inner veneers.
