Lux Veneer
Lux Wood

LuxWood

Engineered wood uniformly laminated veneer lumber (LVL) product developed by Forestry Tasmania as a sustainable alternative to solid timber tops and joinery.

It is made from rotary peeled veneer utilising smaller diameter, lower height, low grade hardwood logs produced during sustainable harvesting of regrowth Tasmanian Forests that would
otherwise be converted to pulp woodchips or firewood.

The individual veneers are glued together using a combination of glues, heat and pressure. E0 emission from LuxWood performs better than the standard set for such products. LuxWood is produced in 19mm and 32mm thicknesses.
