The KLH® Select Silver Fir surface is now available for sophisticated architecture and a largely knotless appearance.
The KLH® standard panel types are given an additional non-load-bearing, approx. 5 mm thick, top layer of silver fir on the visible surface. The top layer and the base lamella are glued parallel to the grain. Production is carried out in compliance with all rigidity grading and quality control requirements.
Silver fir can be used on one lateral surface of KLH® elements (e.g. for ceiling elements), while the narrow sides and the second lateral surface are made of spruce.
Only locally available raw materials from sustainably managed forests are used. The use of rift-cut/semi-rift-cut wood for the lamella results in greater dimensional stability on the surface with significantly reduced susceptibility to cracking. The approx. 100 mm wide fir lamellae are sorted according to quality, are made knotless or cross-cut according to the surface definition, and finger-jointed length-ways. The result is a precious, finely sanded surface, which facilitates modern, light´-weight and elegant timber architecture.
