altPlus LVB™Beam is made from parallel-laminated 19 mm altPlus LVB™veneer boards (*can be customized). Thanks to its exceptional strength and stiffness, altPlus LVB™Beam is the ideal material for slender and elegant constructions and wide spans combined with high loads. altPlus LVB™beams can also be installed so that its veneer layers are aligned vertically. altPlus LVB™beams are sanded at the factory and therefore ideal for exposed applications.
In altPlus LVB™Panel, the veneer layers are vertical or horizontal to the panel surface.
