What does it mean when Kerto LVL works its magic with Svenska Takelement? ➡ *Less material is used compared to CLT products to produce the same type of element. *Low weight in relation to its strength and long spans, which allow them to prefabricate roof elements up to 18 meters in length! *The structure of the roof elements with LVL beams also makes it possible to run ventilation pipes in the elements At the same time, Svenska Takelement can prepare the elements for windows, domes and lift stops directly in the factory in Västerås. "This means that you get a tight house much faster than if you had built the roofs on site," says Göran Petersén. https://lnkd.in/ddbPAuC2

👉 Kerto LVL as offers plenty of material efficiency benefits ✅ Light ✅ Slim ✅ Durable structure And it means that less material is needed for construction, making building faster and more cost-efficient. Learn more:https://lnkd.in/d8kD6Kfi

Have you tried our carbon storage calculator which calculates the carbon stored in different Metsä Wood products by volume? It can create understanding when designing new projects. 🔎 The unit for carbon storage is CO2 equivalent. This unit means that the amount of carbon is changed to corresponding amount of CO2. If a product stores carbon 1000 kg CO2 eq. it is the same amount of carbon as in 1000 kg of carbon dioxide.

The wall-floor-knot is one of the most complex details for both designers and builders. 💡 Lintel simplifies the connection of the floor to the wall and is a high performance building component that transfers loads above windows, doors or other openings 💡 Lintels work especially well when combining Kerto GLVL Q upper and lower chords in timberframe systems.   💡 Lintels are also a simple way to connect timberframe walls to hybrid floors or even concrete floors.
