altPlus LVB™is a laminated veneer bamboo made from locally sourced bamboo, manufactured exclusively by altPlus. altPlus LVB™is produced by thermo treating selected bamboo to an exact state. During the thermo treatment, chemical and structural changes occur within the bamboo which alter and improve basic characteristics. Through further processing of altPlus LVB™, the result is most durable, stable and sustainable product in its class and is an ideal material for use in beams, boards, panels and flooring elements.With its exceptionally high strength altPlus LVB™allows structures with significantly slimmer dimensions, compared to softwood materials. altPlus LVB™is available in visible and non-visible quality. Due to is incredible rate for renewability, altPlus LVB™is the only Structural Composite Lumber that qualifies for Rapidly Renewable building materials.
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. This material is extremely durable and easy to clean, which makes it particularly suitable for table tops, desks, ceiling and wall paneling, stairs and elegant timber floors. altPlus LVB™panels can be machined like solid hardwood or hardwood boards. Thanks to their attractive veneer layer pattern, the panels are ideal for exposed applications, and the sanded surfaces allow for easy coating.
