Kerto LVL massive wall has a notable load-bearing capacity and resistance, making it suitable for applications involving structural loads from environmental factors like wind, snow, and ice. It is based on the use of Kerto LVL Q-panels and L-panels, offers a high-performance solution for: 🏗️ New builds 🛠️ Renovations 📏 Vertical extensions The efficient design minimizes material use, making it suitable for structural, non-structural, and bracing applications in both exterior and interior walls. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ddx43322

Engineered wood products are ideal for a variety of applications in the construction industry. The building shows interactively how wood applications link to each other and can be used in different purposes for example in wall elements and roof solutions. 🎯 Take a look of applications in multistory building project: https://lnkd.in/d2R-EXr5

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.
