Parallel Laminated Veneer (PLV) - Tolko Industries

Tolko’s Parallel Laminated Veneer (PLV) is a value added choice to help eliminate waste and improve substrate performance in a host of industrial applications. The product is available in multiple thicknesses and comes in sheet form, ready to cut into your components.

PLV has a high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent dimensional stability compared to other composite and solid wood products. Our PLV is made with Douglas-fir, Larch and Spruce Metriguard Rated Veneer and produced at our APA certified mills in British Columbia.

Features and Benefits

ISPM-15 Exempt

Tolko’s PLV is manufactured with glue, heat, or pressure and is therefore exempt from the requirements in ISPM-15.

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Light-weight panels and boards with impressive strength compared to other composite wood products.

Dimensional Stability

Our controlled, APA audited, exacting manufacturing process produces an extremely stable product.

Improved Fastener Holding

Consistent density yields improved fastener holding results compared to solid sawn wood. Solid sawn wood has variation which can lead to mixed performance.

Consistency

Each piece of Tolko PLV is 100% usable with quality you can count on. This eliminates the need to cull, sort and cut out defects, to maximize recovery and efficiency in your plant.
