FAQ
What does the abbreviation KVH mean?
“KVH” is a protected product name for special construction timber whose quality properties exceed the requirements of DIN 4074. DIN 4074 regulates how the construction timber must be sorted in order to meet the various requirements.
How does KVH achieve its dimensional accuracy?
As heart-separated wood or even heart-free sawn wood, KVH is dimensionally stable. The dimensional accuracy is adjusted to size by calibration, ie by light planing after drying.
What are the properties of KVH?
KVH is a higher quality class. KVH-Si is offered for the visible area and KVH–NSi for the non-visible area. Compared to classic sawn timber, KVH has clear advantages when it comes to dimensional stability, dryness and short-term availability of large lengths.
What is the difference between KVH Si and KVH NSi?
KVH is offered as construction timber for visible areas as well as non-visible areas. KVH-Si stands for KVH-visible. This is planed and offered with bevelled edges on all sides. NSi, on the other hand, stands for "non-visible". In other words: KVH-NSi can be used for non-visible areas.
