KVH wood
ABOUT WOOD —
KVH® is a type of timber that is mainly used as a construction material.
Coniferous wood is usually used for its production. KVH C24 wood wood is available in two types of surfaces: KVH-Si is used in visual structures - on mezzanines, terraces, etc.
The second type is KVH-NSi, which is used for invisible structures. This is a typical construction surface. The dimensional stability is guaranteed by a technical drying process in which the average humidity has been fixed at 15% ± 3%. KVH is planed on 4 sides and has bevelled edges.

KVH wood is made using the latest technology. Thanks to this, it is an ideal construction material, enabling the creation of wall structures in frame buildings, ceilings, roof trusses or terraces, gazebos, garages, pergolas, mezzanines. During production, any beam length of up to 16m can be achieved, and thus the material is very easy to process, and its full adaptation to the user's needs is possible. KVH wood comes from kiln dried spruce. It has a moisture content of 15% (+/- 3%). It is worth mentioning that it has a CE certificate, which confirms its high quality.
Standard KVH beams are available in thicknesses from 40 to 160 mm, with a width of 60 to 280 mm and a length of 5 to 16 m. However, it is standard to prepare boards with a length of 13 metres. By choosing this construction material, you get a guarantee of quality at an attractive price. In addition to very good dimensional stability, there is also a negligible tendency to crack, which is very important when creating structures that will serve you for years. Attractive cross-sections, adjusted thickness and length make this material popular with many people who decide to build various types of wooden structures.
The use of KVH in construction works
KVH structural timber, which is distinguished by a low thermal conductivity coefficient, is perfect as an element of the construction of external walls and roofs. Thermal bridges are reduced, which allows for the creation of energy-efficient buildings. This material allows the entire structure to be stiffened thanks to the use of brackets, beams, rafters and purlins. In particular, the visible elements of the structure meet all aesthetic values, which is why it is a proposition worth choosing if you expect very good parameters and an attractive appearance. This building material will meet the expectations of even the most demanding customers.
Importantly, KVH wood is a very important building material with ecological properties. Chemical wood protection is not used here, only natural agents. In this way, an entirely environmentally friendly building is created, perfectly blending into any green, natural space. The microclimate inside the building has a positive effect on health and well-being. You will feel the difference after being in a gazebo or a house made of this material. Of course, it will be a very beneficial experience. KVH wood is a construction material that is worth choosing, especially when the structure requires additional stability.
Quality that impresses
KVH glued timber is made with the utmost care, from the best materials, and thus meets the requirements for wood joined with finger joints. It received the German Ü mark of conformity, which confirms that it meets all standards and strict rules. Thanks to this, investors, architects and designers can recommend this construction material to their clients with a clear conscience. It will allow you to create exceptionally durable houses, gazebos, terraces, mezzanines and garages. Each structure made of this wood is characterized by resistance to high loads, reliability and complete safety. Wood meets all the requirements for the implementation of construction projects for years.
Our customers receive beams that meet the requirements of the German DIN 4074 standard, which defines the resistance of materials to all kinds of damage. Our wood has also received confirmation from European organizations on the basis of EN 14081 standards that it is a material that is not susceptible to deterioration. The material is of course approved for use in the EU without any problems. So you can use it to create unique and durable structures that you and the next generations of your family will enjoy. Investing in KVH timber simply pays off.
