FAQs
What is structural formwork LVL used for?
It is commonly used as bearers, joists, walers and soldiers in concrete formwork systems, including suspended slabs, soffits, walls and vertical forms.
What is the difference between 95 × 63 and 95 × 65 LVL?
These dimensions are associated with different manufacturers and product ranges. Selection should be based on the specified dimensions, structural properties, span information and project requirements—not dimensions alone.
Can another LVL brand replace SmartForm, truFORM or e-form?
A comparable product may be available, but structural LVL should not be substituted solely because it looks similar. Certification, characteristic values, dimensions and the engineered formwork design should be checked.
Does Safari deliver bulk LVL orders?
Yes. Safari Group can arrange pickup from Canning Vale or delivery throughout Perth and regional WA, including crane-truck delivery for larger orders.
