Kerto is a unique product manufactured by Metsä, our
delivery partner. Kerto's innovative design is perfect for long spans, high
load structural applications and for the use of ring beams. Kerto is CE marked,
carrying BBA certification and sustainable PEFC accreditation.
Kerto is produced from 3mm graded softwood veneers which are
glued together to form a continuous product either 1.8m wide or 2.5m wide.
These sheets are then further machined to a finished dimension.
Kerto-S is produced with all veneers being laid with the
grain all in the same direction. It is supplied up to a maximum thickness of
758mm and is coated with Mets Woods weather guard.
Kerto-Q is produced with approximately 20% of its veneers
laid crossways. This provides exceptional dimensional stability and performs
fantastically when high compression strength is required.
Kerto LVL S beams are strong, light weight and stable, offering immunity to warping or twisting and minimal deflection. These wood products are an ideal choice for all types of timber frame construction projects requiring solid technical performance, from structural fittings to timber floor systems.
Kerto LVL Q panels are sheets of timber that can be used in a variety of load-bearing applications – both horizontal and vertical. These timber panel products can work as scaffold boards, timber building wall elements and the construction of timber floor products.
