The dimensionally accurate Kerto beam structure supports and gives form to roofs of various shapes. Kerto LVL products combine excellent technical performance with ease of use. The essential qualities of Kerto LVL include strength, dimensional stability and light weight. Kerto also offers architectural elegance in open and visible roof structures.
With Kerto LVL S-beams, it is easy to build high and spacious rooms, large windows, oriels, galleries, and balconies. S-beam has excellent strength-to-weight ratio which allows long spans with minimal deflection. The use of S-beams ensure material efficiency with customised product dimension. The thickness-to-height ratio of S-beams can generally be maximum 1/8.
Kerto LVL Qp-beam is a stiff, rigid and precise roof beam with excellent strength-to-weight ratio. The use of the high and slender beams reduces the need of support grids enabling the construction of spacious rooms and increases the space for insulation. The increase in insulation spaces enables energy efficient structures. The cross-bonded veneer layers minimize swelling, cupping and other dimensional changes of the product. Qp-beam can be manufactured with a higher thickness-to-height ratio than Kerto S-beam, the ratio can be up to 1/12.
