STEICOBuilding System2

Nature shows us the way by producing slender constructions with maximumstability. Thefunctional principles are simple: Reduction. Where no material is required then no materialis wasted. The Result: Improved material properties with low weight and low primaryenergy consumptionwhilst providing the highest energy efficiency. TheSTEICObuildingsystemfollows these principles.

STEICOjoists are especially lightweight, energy efficient elements that usesaslender web material from natural fibreboard to connect the two flanges. Theflanges are made of laminated veneer lumber STEICO LVL R. This guaranteesconsistently high quality and defined strengths.

STEICO LVL consists of several layers of bonded softwood veneers. Thisstructuregives STEICO LVL its high strength. Laminated veneer lumber is one of the mostresilient timber construction materials available.

Following natures leadSTEICO construction products combine high loadbearingcapacity with the highest efficiency.

STEICO LVL – Laminated Veneer LumberSTEICO LVL is made of multiple 3mm layers of graded laminated veneers. This disperses knots and irregular growth,producing a practically homogenous cross-section. This construction means that STEICO LVL is highly rigid anddimensionally stable.

LVLRLaminated Veneer Lumber

LVL XLaminated Veneer Lumber with cross-layers

Cross laminated STEICO LVL X means that ca. one-fifth ofthe veneers are glued crosswise – improving the lateralbending strength and stiffness of the joist.

Powerful engineered timber product for rectangular cross-sections. With STEICO LVL R elements all veneer layers areglued together longitudinally.
