Qualities
This type of construction wood is characterised by its specific sawing pattern, where — depending on the desired surface — the rough wood is sawn either through or outside the core.
Applications
KVH® is a solid structural wood finger‑jointed into long lengths (12 and 13 m).
It is supplied in strength class C24, making it suitable for load‑bearing structural applications.
Technical specifications
KVH® wood meets the highest quality standards:
- Standardised under DIN 4074‑1/S10 and MS10 DIN EN 14081‑1, with strict sorting requirements for the raw wood and additional quality criteria.
- Thanks to controlled technical drying, the wood moisture content is reduced to 15% ± 3%, which significantly limits deformation, cracks and checking, and ensures optimal protection against insects and fungi.
- Minimum strength class C24, compared to the more common C18 grade.
- Excellent dimensional stability, ensuring straighter wall studs with fewer deviations than other types of solid construction wood.
