Laminated Wood
A piece of wood built up of plies or laminations that have been joined either with glue or with mechanical fastenings: the term is most frequently applied where the plies are too thick to be classified as veneer and when the grain of all plies is parallel.

Laminating
A method of gluing strips of thin clear wood to the lengthwise surfaces of finger jointed material to provide the appearance of clear stock.

Lever Lock
A lever handle and lever arm operator available as an option on awning units.

Light Framing (LF)
The national grading rules contains three grades of light framing: construction, standard and utility. Nominal sizes are 2 to 4 inches thick and 2 to 4 inches wide. The abbreviation (LF) is used to indicate a specific section in the grading rules under which the lumber is graded.

Lineal Footage
Having length only, RO Base (in inches) x 2+RO Height (ininches) x 2 divided by 12 equals the RO perimeter in lineal feet of a unit.

Lineal Length
Term used to describe length of stock wood or vinyl available for purchase other than specified lengths. Generally wood lineal lengths come in 120" while vinyl lineal lengths come in 12' 6".

Lockset
A complete door lock system comprised of the lock mechanism together with knobs, keys, plates, strikes and other accessories.

Low E Glass
Low E stands for low emissivity. Low E glass is coated with a thin microscopic, virtually invisible, metal or metallic oxide layer. The primary function is to reduce the U-value by suppressing radiative heat flow. See Options Section for a more detailed explanation of Low E glass.

Low E II Glass
A high performance Low E glass, providing the best winter U-value and warmest center glass. Also during the summer, customers will have one of the coolest glass temperature of all Low E products. See Options Section for a more detailed explanation of Low E II glass.

Lumber Sizing
The terms 4/4, 5/4, 6/4 and 8/4 refer to the thickness of the wood from which sash and frame parts are milled. The maximum finished dimension of these are as follows: 4/4 = 11/16", 5/4 = 1 3/32", 6/4 = 1 5/16" and 8/4 = 1 23/32".
