Verified study shows that Kerto LVL can reduce carbon footprint of construction Material choices make a difference 🙌 The study highlights the climate advantages of floor and wall structures built resource efficiently with Kerto LVL. “Design and material choices made in the early stages of a construction project are crucial to maximizing material efficiency and achieving the best environmental outcomes” When identifying emission reduction opportunities in construction projects, Kerto LVL can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of building projects compared to steel reinforced concrete.

🔑 Precise connection details are essential for the quality and performance of timber buildings. For example top-plate connection offers an efficient solution for joining floor elements to walls by placing the upper plate directly on top of the wall element. The top-plate connection, used together with a Kerto LVL lintel, enables modern architectural solutions such as floor-to-ceiling windows and easy integration of roller shutters or sun protection systems.  Image: Holzhaus Fabrik   Learn more: https://lnkd.in/djucUddJ

It’s time to rethink how structures and architecture can lead the way – That’s why we’re proud to be part of ICSA2025 – the International Conference on Structures and Architecture @Antwerp, 8–11 July. 📍 Visit our stand to discover Kerto-Ripa wall elements, a lightweight, high-performance solution made from Kerto® LVL, designed for the modern timber construction. What to expect: 🧱 Three full-scale wall mock-ups 📏 Demonstrations of structural thickness and material efficiency in practice 🤝 Meet our team: Bas Meeuwissen & Cédric Lecomte 🔗 Learn more: https://www.icsa2025.com/

How can buildings contribute to climate solutions? We believe engineered wood plays a key role. 👏 Kerto LVL can reduce fossil climate impact by up to 70% compared to steel-reinforced concrete, especially in load-bearing floor structures. 📏 The material consumption per m2 of floor for Kerto LVL is only 34 kg, compared to 675 kg for reinforced steel concrete. ➡️ The difference in weight is over 90% Expert: Rosa Zabihian #KertoLVL #MetsaWood #Tomorrowbuilders #Sustainability #ConstructionInnovation

Greetings from Äänekoski 👋 Yesterday, our sales & marketing, customer service, and business development teams gathered to share knowledge, look forward and witness the impressive progress of our new Kerto LVL mill in Äänekoski.

Innovate with wood and rethink what’s possible in construction. 🚀 Wood-based products like Kerto LVL offer design flexibility and high performance with a lighter weight. This opens new opportunities for architects and engineers to create more sustainable, cost efficient and scalable solutions, without compromising on strength or  durability. When structures are lighter, possibilities grow and efficiency follows. What new opportunities do you see when construction gets lighter? #KertoLVL #MetsäWood #Tomorrowbuilders #Sustainability #ConstructionInnovation

Did you miss our webinar about (EU) 2023/1115 on Deforestation-Free Products, also known as the EUDR? 🔑Our experts Rosa Zabihian and Kalle Ikonen will explain when EUDR enters into force and starts to apply, and who does it affect. Watch the recording here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dZuzZXuf

We’re proud to share that Henrik Söderström, SVP of Sales and Marketing at Metsä Wood, has been appointed the Board of CEI-Bois – the European Confederation of Woodworking Industries. Henrik's strong market insight and deep industry knowledge will support the strategic development of the European woodworking sector in the years ahead.

⚠️There is a new comparative study* that highlights the significant climate benefits of Kerto LVL when compared to traditional steel reinforced concrete in certain applications.⚠️ With sustainability regulations tightening and demand for climate-responsible investments rising, Kerto LVL offers a proven way to reduce emissions — with results that are measurable, scalable, and ready to implement. 🔗 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/dh__tcdr *The study has been made by an international engineering, design and advisory company AFRY and 3rd party verified by RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) and Ramboll (2024).

How does material efficiency create more value in construction? We believe it starts with designing smarter with engineered wood. 👏 With the Kerto-Ripa solution, up to 50 % less material is needed – thanks to optimised structural design. ⏰ In an eight-storey residential building, this can mean 34 m² more sellable space. In urban locations, that translates into substantial added value. How do you approach material efficiency in your projects?
