Panel types

KLH® solid timber panels are offered in 3 standard qualities. Upon request special surfaces and panel built-ups are possible, depending on the availability of the raw lamellas and technical feasibility. Special structures are possible upon request.

 

By using double layers, the board’s longitudinal and transverse rigidity can be increased in a targeted manner. Changes to the board structure can be used to increase its fire resistance in order to meet special project requirements.

Surfaces &
Qualitydefinition

As a standard, we produce KLH® solid wood panels in spruce and in three different surface qualities, which can be combined as required. This applies without restriction for all the panel types shown previously.

Surfaces treatment and special surfaces

Both the industrial visible quality and the domestic visible quality panels are fully sanded. We also offer domestic visible quality surfaces in a brushed version. Should you require UV protection, varnished elements or any other surface treatment, please contact us. The same applies to surfaces in other types of wood, which we can offer depending on customer requirements and the availability of raw materials.

Overview of the individual surfaces

Range of validityThe given surface qualities at delivery only include the non-machined top layer but not the edges of the elements.
The edges as well as machined surfaces are subject to our non-visual surface criteria.
Crack formationLike all solid wood products, the above stated qualities are subject to crack and joint formation as a result of drying to their future compensation moisture balance when installed due to the product characteristics. This cannot be prevented.
