KVH (Structural timber)

KVH wood, which stands for “Konstruktionsvollholz” in German, translates to “construction solid timber”. It is a type of engineered wood product used in construction applications. KVH wood is typically made from high-quality softwood timber, such as spruce or pine, that is kiln-dried to reduce moisture content and improve dimensional stability.

The manufacturing process involves cutting the timber into specific dimensions, planning the surfaces for smoothness, and then finger-jointing the pieces together to create longer lengths. This process helps to minimize defects and ensures consistent quality..

KVH wood is commonly used for load-bearing structural elements in buildings, such as beams, columns, joists. Its strength, stability, and reliability make it a popular choice for construction projects where durability and performance are essential.
