The German hybrid construction specialist, Brüninghoff, has built a new concrete element plant. Metsä Wood’s Kerto LVL L-panels and Kerto LVL T-studs have been used for the prefabricated non-load-bearing wall elements. Due to the high level of prefabrication, assembly times were optimised. A building shell was implemented quickly while meeting strict standards of sustainability.

Kerto LVL products are particularly suitable for prefabrication. This is because the standard product range includes beams, posts, and panels with widths of up to 2.5 metres and lengths of 23 metres, in various thicknesses. Processing and further use of Kerto LVL products are as simple as possible and require only common processing equipment and tools. Kerto LVL is also extremely material-efficient; it is needed less in volume compared to other wood materials and its strength-to-weight ratio is excellent.
