Engineered for Performance
Consistent Structural Performance
TruForm is structural LVL manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 4357, with properties determined in accordance with AS/NZS 4063.2 — complying with the requirements for structural design under AS 1720.1. Builders and formworkers can specify with confidence, backed by independent audit processes and product certification.
Moisture Resistant & Easy to Identify
Painted bright orange for instant on-site identification and moisture protection throughout the construction process. Colour-coded end sections make length identification fast and simple - reducing handling time and site errors.
Sustainably Sourced
Carter Holt Harvey LVL ensures that all timber is legally sourced from managed forests, with FSC Chain of Custody certification available on request.
Low Formaldehyde Emissions
TruForm is manufactured using Type A (Marine) bond adhesive with less than 0.5mg/L formaldehyde emissions from the final product - equivalent to E0 - for a safer working environment on site.
