Pacific Woodtech and Kop-Coat created a commercially available, fully treated laminated veneer lumber (LVL), using a proprietary treatment system and process to fully penetrate each veneer layer and add an envelope finish. The PWT Treated LVL can withstand damage caused by fungal rot, decay, and wood-destroying insects, with a life expectancy of 50 years, and will not bow or twist, according to the makers. The product is ideal for above-ground interior or exterior use, such as deck beams, joists, columns, and treated sill plates. Pricing varies by region. pacificwoodtech.com
