Product Introduction:
Kerto is a laminated veneer lumber (lVl) product used in all types of construction projects, from new buildings to renovation and repair. Kerto is incredibly strong and dimensionally stable, and it does not warp or twist. It derives its high strength from the homogeneous bonded structure. Kerto is produced from 3 mm thick, rotary-peeled softwood veneers that are glued together to form a continuous sheet. The sheet is cut to length and sawn into beams, planks or panels in the sizes that customers require. Kerto products are CE marked and certified by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, no 184/03.

Environmentally friendly construction material
Renewable and recyclable wood is a highly eco-effective building material throughout its life cycle. Wood raw material comes from the sustainably managed and PEFC-certified forests of Metsa Group's Finnish forest owner members, ensuring that the origin of the raw material is traceable. The manufacture of wood products consumes small amount of energy and results in low carbon dioxide and other emissions. In addition, wooden structures operate as carbon sinks. The manufacturing is mainly based on renewable energy, and the energy and material efficiency of the production processes is continuously being improved.
