Solid construction timber (KVH) 

KVH

“Konstruktionsvollholz”(KVH) for sophisticated modern structures.

Finger-jointed solid construction timber (KVH) is typically made of Central European spruce to be used in modern timber construction applications. KVH is characterized by defined load-bearing capacities.

The attractive planed surfaces and fast delivery times to the point of use satisfy the high requirements of house owners, designers and craftsmen in every respect.

KVH is produced and stocked in standard cross sections to cover all the requirements of modern timber frame construction.

The advantages of standardisation for trade and the processing industry are obvious: produced as stock, short delivery times, economic planning and construction. On top of this we are able to produce KVH on your demand: flexible, individual and fast.

- Precise fit
- Attractive appearance
- Finger-jointing permits production in every length up to 16 m
- Superior dimensional stability due to technical drying process
