KVH Structural Timber

KVH structural timber is a building material from Germany with precisely defined product characteristics which have been developed especially to meet the requirements of modern timber construction. KVH is a kiln-dried finger-jointed product made of solid softwood and is strength-graded.

KVH is commonly used in construction, and particularly suits offsite construction methods, such as timber frame and Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPS). It is particularly suitable for use in: 

Roof trusses: Offering durability and strength. 

Load-bearing ceiling structures: Providing reliable support and reducing the need for complex splicing. 

Frame building wall structures: Ideal for creating solid and stable wall frames. 

Floors: Provides easy installation without compromising structural integrity.

Features and benefits of KVH structural timber 

• Available in long lengths which reduces splicing and plate costs when optimised. It also reduces handling, cutting and overall stock, helping to speed up your projects. 

• Low moisture content for reduced movement during drying. 

• Finger jointed for improved product stability and straighter metal-web joists. 

• Its industrial finish makes it an economical material for construction. 

• Special dimensions can be produced for specific applications and lengths. 

• Quality assured and manufactured to EN15497:2014. 

• Forest certification: full PEFC Chain of Custody.
