Metsä Wood launches new sustainable element for construction

The innovation designed by Metsä Wood and its partners combines concrete with Kerto laminated veneer lumber (LVL). It comes with lightweight properties which have proven to be valuable in the first construction project at Metsä Fibre’s Rauma sawmill.

By combining concrete and Kerto LVL, the hybrid sandwich wall element provides an easy way to replace typical concrete sandwich elements. This is a particularly popular wall element found in residential multi-storey buildings in Nordic countries, Metsä Wood’s element can be used in residential, office or industrial multi-storey buildings.
