Problems that naturally occur as sawn lumber dries — twisting, splitting, checking, crowning and warping —are greatly reduced.  \nTHE STRENGTH IS IN THE ENGINEERING  \nLP SolidStart LVL is made from ultrasonically and visually graded veneers arranged in a specific pattern to maximize the strength and stiffness of the veneers and to disperse the naturally occurring characteristics of wood, such as knots, that can weaken a sawn lumber beam. The veneers are then bonded with waterproof adhesives under pressure and heat. LP SolidStart LVL beams are exceptionally strong, solid and straight, making them excellent for most primary loadcarrying beam applications.  \nLP SolidStart LVL 2900Fb-2.0E: AVAILABLE SIZES  \nLP SolidStart LVL 2900Fb-2.0E is available in a range of depths and lengths, and is available in standard thicknesses of 1-3/4\" and 3-1/2\". The 2900Fb-2.0E LVL is also available in factory-laminated thicknesses (known as “billet beam”) of 5-1/4\" and 7\" to eliminate the need for field nailing and/or bolting of multiple plies. In addition, a water-resistant coating called SiteCote™ is available for extra weather protection during construction. LP also offers other grades that are not covered under this technical guide. Please verify availability with the LP SolidStart Engineered Wood Products distributor in your area before specifying these products.  \nLIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY  \nLP SolidStart Engineered Wood Products are backed by a lifetime limited warranty. Visit [LPCorp.com](LPCorp.com) or call 1.888.820.0325 for a copy of the warranty.  \nSOFTWARE FOR EASY, RELIABLE DESIGN  \nOur design/specification software enhances your in-house design capabilities. It offers accurate designs for a wide variety of applications with interfaces for printed output or plotted drawings. Through our distributors, we offer component design review services for designs using LP SolidStart Engineered Wood Products.  \nCODE EVALUATION  \nLP SolidStart Laminated Veneer Lumber has been evaluated for compliance with major US building codes. For the most current code reports, contact your LP SolidStart Engineered Wood Products distributor, visit [LPCorp.com](LPCorp.com) or for:  \n• ICC-ES evaluation report ESR-2403 [visit www.icc-es.org](visit www.icc-es.org)  \n• APA product report PR-L280 [visit www.apawood.org](visit www.apawood.org)  \nFRIEND TO THE ENVIRONMENT  \nLP SolidStart LVL is a building material with built-in environmental benefits. It is made of engineered wood substrate, a renewable resource with a reduced environmental impact. LP uses SFI® certified forest management and procurement systems, which help ensure wood comes from well managed forests. Raw material procurement targets small, fast growing trees. In LP’s manufacturing process, no part of the log goes to waste. And only safe, low formaldehyde-emitting resins are used.  \nIMPORTANT NOTES  \n1. LP SolidStart LVL shall be designed for dry-use conditions only. Dry-use applies to products installed in dry, covered and well ventilated interior conditions in which the equivalent moisture content in lumber will not exceed 16% .  \n2. This guide is valid only for LP SolidStart LVL members supporting loads applied parallel to the face of the veneers (“edge” orientation) .  \n3. Ensure that the design loads, duration of load increases and deflection limits that you use to select products from this guide are appropriate for your application and comply with local code requirements. If you do not know the correct design criteria and all the loads imposed on the component from all parts of the structure, seek qualified help from the architect, engineer ","cbCaie70XTrLld3M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie70XTrLld3M","pdf",1448182,"English","# Introduction\n## Designed to Outperform Traditional Lumber\n## THE STRENGTH IS IN THE ENGINEERING\n## LP SolidStart LVL 2900Fb-2.0E: AVAILABLE SIZES\n# Warranty and Design Tools\n## LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY\n## SOFTWARE FOR EASY, RELIABLE DESIGN\n# Performance and Compliance\n## CODE EVALUATION\n## FRIEND TO THE ENVIRONMENT\n## IMPORTANT NOTES","[{\"question\":\"What durability and performance improvements does LP SolidStart LVL claim versus traditional lumber?\",\"answer\":\"It is designed to greatly reduce defects that occur as sawn lumber dries, such as twisting, splitting, checking, crowning, and warping.
