Kerto® LVL L-panel combines excellent technical performance with light weight and dimensional stability. The panel is designed for both horizontal and vertical use in light-duty and non-load bearing applications. Use of large L-panel sizes ensures material efficiency and minimizes installation time. Kerto LVL L-panel is made of 3 mm thick light-weight softwood veneers. Approximately 20 % of the veneers are oriented in crosswise direction. The veneers are bonded with weather- and boil-resistant phenol formaldehyde adhesive. L-panel is a light-weight product with good strength properties. Crosswise veneers provide excellent dimensional stability and enhances the transverse strength and stiffness of the panel. L-panel is an ideal material for light-duty and non-load-bearing applications including wall panels, ceiling panels, furniture, packaging, doors and windows. Main applications Structural applications: • Components for light-duty or non-load-bearing applications • Panel product for interior ceilings and floors Industrial applications: • Doors, windows, furniture and packaging • Concrete formwork Major advantages • Good strength-to-weight ratio • Large light-weight panel product • Dimensional stability improved against warp and twist • Great workability and quick to install • Easy to fasten, nail and drill • Ensures material efficiency with customised product dimensions • Large panels up to 2,500 mm wide, 20 m long • Up to 10 % better thermal conductivity (λ-value) than standard Kerto LVL • Made of sustainable northern wood and PEFC certified • Environmentally friendly • Kerto LVL (1 m³) contains the stored car
