Kerto-Ripa® combines the performances of Kerto LVL, the strongest and most advanced
Engineered Wood Product, with a certified structural gluing technology, developed and
implemented by Metsä Wood since the 90's. Kerto-Ripa wooden floor and roof elements are
produced by off-site specialized companies all over Europe.
Kerto-Ripa is an all-in-one high-performance prefab floor / roof element. With Kerto-Ripa spans
of up to 24m, fire ratings up to 90 minutes and up to 75dB of airborne sound insulation are
possible. Prefabrication means a quicker erection and a quicker return of capital. Actual projects
have shown speeds up to 1000m2 per day using 2,4m x 16m Kerto-Ripa insulated and sealed
box elements.
Calculation and designing tools like Finnwood and Toolbox allow you to quickly design KertoRipa,
fully compliant with EC5.
LIGHT
The lightness of Nordic premium spruce timber used to build Kerto-Ripa slabs allows architects,
designers and engineers to imagine floors up to 15 meters, roofs up to 24 meters and to design
elements 5 times lighter than standard concrete structures.
The efficiency and optimized structures reduces the height of floors and roofs and offers savings
in terms of foundations and lifting. As a result, adding storeys on existing buildings, long spans
and cantilevers become possible.
GREEN
Metsä Wood is part of the 120.000 private forest owners cooperative called Metsäliitto.
Sustainable development of our activities means that we carefully care of the 5 million hectares
of forests that we manage, harvest, improve and use to process and bring the most advanced
and ecological products to our customers in a very large range of applications. Naturally our
mills are PEFC certified. Kerto-Ripa slabs help to design and build greener construction. KertoLVL
production starts from Premium Nordic spruce logs which are conscientiously peeled,
offering the best yield on raw material for a wood processed product. Moreover 1m3 of KertoLVL
used in construction store sustainability 789Kg of CO2. Finally we have been implementing
bioenergy towards our activities, geared towards industrial efficiency. Kerto-Ripa elements are
an efficient and green application based on Kerto-LVL raw material that Metsä Wood supply to
prefabricators. You can learn more on our sustainable activities here

Kerto-Ripa floor and roof elements are used for new buildings and for renovation or
transformation as well. They are applied in houses, apartments, expansion projects, schools,
halls, offices and other commercial and public buildings. This innovative building system can be
synchronized optimally to meet customers, architects or contractors requirements. The modular
structure guarantees optimal fire resistance, comfort, safety, thermal and acoustic isolation at
all times.
PERFORMANCE
 Depending on the structure, Kerto-Ripa elements are suitable for spans from 4 to 24m
 This concept has a high added value and combines more than one function:
o Load-bearing structure with a high stiffness and low vibration
o Bracing
o Allows cantilevers and accessible roofs
o Flexible space for all kinds of installations
o Air barrier: Kerto panels are highly airtight
o Thermal and acoustical insulation compatible with highest standards
o Fire resistance up to 90 minutes
BUILDING TIME
 Fast and easy assembly due to the prefab construction.
 Prefabrication ensures uniform quality and a reduction in defect costs.
 The large element sizes enable easy covering of large areas. Up to 1000m2 per day.
 A quick covering of large areas keeps the building area below clean and dry.
LIGHT IN WEIGHT
 The Kerto-Ripa elements are at least 5x lighter than concrete hollow-core slabs.
 Consequently lighter load-bearing frames and foundations are required.
 Lighter and cheaper building equipment, such as cranes, can be used.
FLEXIBILITY
 Kerto-Ripa can be used in both wooden and hybrid constructions. It perfectly connects
to basic wooden, masonry, concrete or steel structures.
 The length and performance can be synchronised with the customers, the architects,
the structural engineers or the contractors requirements.
 Large holes (up to 70% of the rib height) can be made.
 Prefabrication allows many specific finishings and additions,i.e. insulation and sealings.
ACOUSTICS
 The choice of sound insulating features, on top, inside or under the element is large.
 To improve acoustics within large spaces, Kerto-Ripa can be combined with Sonans.
Kerto-Ripa consists of structural glued Kerto-LVL components and enables you to build wooden
roof and floor elements with a very rigid structure. The certified gluing technology allows very
large spans up to 24 meters for roofs and 15 meters for floors. Accessible roofs, cantilevers and
other clever configurations are also possible.
FINISHINGS
 Various ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ finishings can be applied to the floor and the roof elements. For
example: anhydrite screeds,cement screeds or a floating floors made of fibre-reinforced
plasterboard.
 Various types of fire resistant, acoustic and decorative ceilings can be fitted underneath.

Kerto-Ripa Open
Light, strong, cost efficient and flexible, can be closed by wood panels or plasterboards for fire resistance or aesthetical
issues, can easily be insulated with all kind of material either for acoustical or thermal performance. Holes and
integrations can still be achieved on site if the slab is not completely finished and closed.
Ideal for floors from 5 - 8m span or roofs from 10-15m either preferably for light and medium loads.
Kerto-Q top panel
Kerto-S ribs
Kerto-Ripa Box
Glued ribs with plates on top and bottom. Kerto-Ripa Box offers the most performing combination of stiffness, span,
and small thickness. The Kerto plate underneath can bring up to 90 minutes fire resistance and visible look. Of course
it can also be covered and insulation stays possible inside. Kerto-Ripa Box elements are often chosen for roof elements,
but achieve also perfect results as a floor.

Kerto-Ripa Open Box
Kerto-Ripa Open Box combines advantages of Kerto-Ripa Open and Box. This means gluing on both edges of ribs to
reach a great rigidity, big spans and low height, still opened underneath to allow integrations. In Viikki (near Helsinki,
Finland) 103 flats have been designed and erected, with those type of floor. Acoustical tests on site have emphasized
the excellent behaviour of the complex reaching one of the highest European comfort standards.

Kerto-Ripa Upside-Down
Kerto-Ripa Upside-Down offers the same advantages than the Kerto-Ripa Open. The idea to put it upside-down allows
fire resistance directly from the bottom Kerto-Q plate up to 90 minutes. Thus the Kerto can stay visible underneath and
installation can be prefabricated or achieved on site. Either for floors or roofs, it can be closed with other standard
panels. For residential uses we have tested compounds suitable with the highest acoustical requirements.

Structural glued Kerto-LVL components have been developed at Metsä Wood in the 90’s and
certified along the years by an European Technical Approval and extended by local approvals in
Germany and France. Today several partners have been certified in Europe to offer a CE marked
reliable solution for floors and roofs.
But why deciding to glue Kerto-S ribs and Kerto-Q panels together?
It is all about efficiency! The additional stiffness and strength that structural gluing brings to KertoLVL
enable great spans and heavy loads, reducing the height of the elements compared to other
common solutions. Moreover, Kerto-LVL based solutions are really efficient using less raw
material compared to massive products owing to the excellent yield offered by peeled logs.

Prefabrication allows a lot of options according to project requirements and provides the benefit
of an all-in-one solution. It results in a faster erection and a better quality of construction. Industrial
construction becomes possible.
GEOMETRY OF SLABS
A Kerto-Ripa element is usually rectangular 1,8 / 2,4 x 24m max. This already offers a large variety
of roof and floor plans. But in practice, if needed, the geometry can be adapted due to clever
details. Larger widths, cantilevers, sloped elements, openings and other special cuttings are
easily integrated.
Cantilevers can be designed easily and be specific to each element
INSULATION, CLOSING, COVERING AND SEALING
Slopes can be integrated for roofs up to 10°
In line with fire safety, acoustical and thermal requirements, Kerto-Ripa wooden elements can be
flexibly insulated by all kinds of insulating mineral or natural wool, fibres or panels. It can be closed
or covered by wooden, plaster or gypsum boards and sealed by temporary or final membranes.
Vapour barriers can also be integrated as special details like downspouts are.
Widths can be more than 2,40m owing to gluing if needed

LARGE FLOOR AND ROOF CAVITIES
HOLES & INSTALLATIONS
Usually there is a lot of space for piping, running longitudinally within the elements. It is important
to include the systems at an early stage in the plans. It is easy to drill holes in the ribs for systems
running crosswise. The influence of these holes can be calculated with the Finnwood software.
The holes here can be up to a maximum of 70% of the height of the ribs. Usually this is not a
problem, but it must always be checked by a structural engineer.
The Kerto-Ripa elements are designed with a high level of flexibility. Thus holes can be easily
made in floors (and roofs) where required without heavy auxiliary structural elements. Wider or
double ribs can be applied where required in order to be able to suspend other elements. These
other elements can often be attached onto the main beam using integrated pocket screws or joist
hangers. Thereby, for example, a staircase cavity can be achieved easily.
Example of an integrated staircase opening, without loose trimmer joists.
SPECIAL SUPPORT AND CONNECTION DETAILS
Here again clever details come into practice to resolve both building requirements or improve
speed on site.
Systems can be easily integrated in Kerto-Ripa. Cavities can be made horizontally as well as
vertically in all kind of Kerto-Ripa
Top panel support increases acoustical
performances and simplifies erection.
Air tightness and fire safety connection
details can be prefabricated too.

Each spruce veneer looks different, expresses a clear identity and reflecting a natural industrial
DNA. The peeling of the logs reveals a heterogeneous texture giving a unique texture to your
building. It is light and has a modern feel. The spruce Kerto-Q panels used for Kerto-Ripa are
already sanded. After this we can drill, cut, or coat the visible side. Depending on aesthetic
expectations, required performance and budget, each panel can be customized.
The second part of this document contains a number of references illustrating some of the choices
taken by architects and customers. Take time to look at it and wonder if you would like to see
same or different kind of aspect in your projects. At the end it will be up to you.

Whatever your expectations of the visual aspect are, the first function of a Kerto-Ripa element is
a structural one. It is not trivial to keep the surface of the face veneer on the bottom face in a
pristine state. This requires an adequate handling and protection against rain and UV on site. This
must be kept in mind at all steps of a project and especially with the builder before erection.

Kerto-Ripa elements meet the high requirements regarding fire resistance. A Box element has a
‘natural’ resistance to fire: its bottom panel will burn up and the remaining open element is often
sufficient to carry the loads (to be checked separately in each design). Additional panels under
Box or open elements further increase the fire resistance.
The specified thickness of the plaster panel is an initial indication. Ultimately, this will need to be
determined per project in consultation with the supplier. Values have been specified for standard
panels and for gypsum based panels.
A fire retardant can be applied directly as well.
KERTO-RIPA OPEN
Non-protected Kerto-Ripa opened panels shouldn't be considered as load-bearing elements in
fire situations. Hence, these elements require a additional protection (i.e. wood-based panels,
plasterboards,..)

In Finland, where winters are of the coldest
in Europe, we have of course been taking
in consideration how to insulate buildings
against low temperatures.
The cavities of Kerto-Ripa slabs can be
partly or fully filled with insulation material.
This normally ranges between 100mm and
400mm of insulation, depending on the
type of insulation material, the architects
and engineers needs to comply to local
regulations and their drive to build efficient
and green buildings.
In Central Europe roofs are often designed
as “warm roofs” with the main part of the
insulation above the slabs. As a rule of
thumb 1/3 of the total thermal resistance is
put inside the cavities and 2/3 on top.
With the help of specialist engineers, able
to analyse the roof components utilizing a
dynamic modelling software, you will be
free to design customized solutions. The
choice of connection details and type
combined with the position of a vapour
barrier is also essential.
Temporary weather protections are highly
recommended and can be applied on
demand.

KERTO-RIPA TESTED ON SITE
An housing program of 103 flats was built and tested in Viikki (near Helsinki).
Only 2 plasterboards underneath, 100mm mineral wool inside and 20mm high density rock wool
+ 50mm concrete screed on top enable to reach the highest standards. Clever details like the top
slab connection between dwellings brings a better behaviour regarding low frequency vibrations.
Dry pre-casting prefab on Kerto-Ripa has also been tested recently bringing faster erection and
excellent results.
KERTO-RIPA UPSIDE DOWN TESTED IN LABORATORY
Kerto-Ripa Upside-down can bring you fire safety and a visible aspect underneath without
compromising on the acoustical performance. On the opposite, a high level of prefabrication is
possible staying dry, installing gravel and mineral wool inside and closing the slab on top by a
wooden panel interposing acoustical buffering. This is a perfect example of an all-in-one solution.

Kerto-Ripa Sonans roofing elements are used to span large open spaces in new buildings as well
as renovation projects. Swimming pools, theatres, schools, halls, offices and other commercial or
public buildings are created this way. The perforated underside, together with the acoustic
insulation, improves the acoustic comfort in the room and provides a warm and clear aesthetic.
The perforated Kerto underside has a standard perforation of Ø10mm on a grid of 20x20mm² and
is built-up of segments of 2400x595mm. Other dimensions, perforations or even slots are
possible. Each panel is delivered with a chamfered edge all the way round, a membrane on the
back, and if you wish, a colour on the surface. Fire class B requirement? We offer you a certified
solution with a B,s1-d0 fire retardant.
ACOUSTICS
The perforations in the underside allow a sound absorption coefficient of 0,75 (class C). The exact
absorption curve, an example of which is shown below, depends on the chosen design and
pattern. Contact us for available reports.

SUSTAINABILITY
In comparison to most other construction materials, sustainably produced timber uses less raw
material and energy. It stores CO2 and contributes directly to the reduction of global climate
change. Wood is furthermore the only renewable raw construction material in the world of
construction.
Wooden structures are also lightweight (about one fifth of the weight of concrete) and therefore
require only lightweight foundations.
Direct storage
KERTO LIFECYCLE
Kerto is produced from trees in sustainably managed forests (all wood used by Metsä Wood is
PEFC certified). It is produced in modern factories, which run on their own by-products. Kerto is
a high quality material that can be used several times during its lifecycle. Kerto-Ripa elements
can also be disassembled and used for a second or third time in another project. This product is
perfectly tuned into the mindset associated with a circular economy.
The high strength and rigidity, and the possible variations on the basic element make it that a
Ripa element can be used for many purposes. Kerto-Ripa is highly suited to the IFD (Industrial,
Flexible, Demountable) concept.
At the end of its life the material that Kerto is made of can be easily incinerated. The bonding
process of Kerto is such that the escaping gases when incinerated in an incineration oven are
exactly the same as that of unprocessed wood. CO2 is released and will be stored again by the
next generation of spruce trees. The ash is scattered on the forest floor as a fertiliser for the trees.
And so the cycle is complete.
Metsä Wood has carried out much research into the sustainability of its material and will gladly
show you the hard figures behind this pretty picture. There is also a comprehensive LCA (Life
Cycle Analysis) available.

CO2 EMISSIONS
In figures: the production of 1m3 wood results in 1.1 tons fewer CO2 emissions than a comparable
amount of steel, concrete or plastic. There is a further 0.9 ton of CO2 stored in the 1m3 of wood
itself. The total saving when choosing wood is therefore together almost 2 tons of CO2!

FORMALDEHYDE
The elements are, to the largest extent, made from natural compounds. Wood has proven to
influence the indoor environment favourably. The only regulated substance that is released is
formaldehyde.
We find formaldehyde everywhere in the air around us: In towns, in the country and at sea. By
using glue and wood, Kerto also releases a certain amount of formaldehyde.
Determined according to EN 717-1, the formaldehyde emitted by Kerto LVL falls far below the
Class E1 requirement of ≤ 0.100 ppm and also fulfils the most stringent requirements in the world
(≤ 0.030 ppm). The formaldehyde emission of Kerto LVL is approximately 0.016 ppm. Kerto LVL
also has the M1 Finnish emission classification for building materials.
BIO-BASED
Bio-based Economy (BBE) is about the transition from an economy that runs on fossil fuels to an
economy that runs on biomass as a raw material: from fossil-based 'to' bio-based '. In a biobased
economy so it is about the use of biomass for non-food applications. These applications include
components, chemicals, materials, transport fuels, electricity and heat. Transition thoughts as
Kerto-Ripa has a strong base with the Finnish PEFC-certified forest. We can underline that KertoRipa
is a bio based product and fits as a hand glove in a society were Assemble to Disassemble
becomes a key position.
CIRCULARLY ECONOMY
Assemble to disassemble, Reduce-reuse-recycle-rewin, minimization of materialization.
A circular economy is one that is restorative and regenerative by design, and which aims to keep
products, components and materials at their highest utility and value at all times, distinguishing
between technical and biological cycles*. Kerto building products understands the principles of a
Circularly Economy.
*Source : https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-economy
SERVICE CLASSES
Kerto-Ripa elements fit the 1 and 2 environmental service classes, as specified in Eurocode 5.
This relates to inside or outside shelters (i.e. no direct contact with rain). The product must be
protected at all times against climatic influences by, for example, applying a protective coating.
Temporary exposure to water is not a problem in exceptional circumstances as long as there are
no long-term puddles on the element. The element should always be dried off afterwards. It is
advisable to check the humidity level of the wood in the top panel after such exposure: it must
remain below 15%.

relatively light construction. More height advantage can be realized by placing installations
between and through the joists. Panels can also be placed on the load-bearing beam whereby
the forces are transferred purely via the top plate. In the table below you can easily read off which

RIB MOUNTING 1
The simplest support. Here,
the element rests on the ribs.
The rim joist only ensures
stability.
FLAT MOUNTING
This smart solution enables
integration in the main
structure. Here the element
hangs from the upper panel.
This solution often drives the
rib and panel dimensions of
the Ripa element.
RIB MOUNTING 2
A variation to the support
above. Here, the element
also rests on the ribs. This
way the ribs have a longer
support length than the
previous option. A row of end
beams ensures stability.
RIM JOIST MOUNTING
A hanging connection
between the rim joist and the
ribs can be used to attach the
element onto the rim joist.
This solution often drives the
rib dimensions of the Ripa
element.
INTER-CONNECTION
In order to guarantee equal deflections, adjoining Kerto-Ripa elements are inter-connected.
Usually this is done using pocket screws. The specifications of the joints must be such that they
meet structural, physical (vapour movement, any waterproofing) and fire proofing (prevent the
ribs from burning) requirements. The tolerance must be taken into account here. The swelling and
shrinking behaviour of the elements cannot lead to any hazardous tensions either. This is
prevented by using proper specifications. A clearance of 2 to 3 mm between the elements is
recommended. A clearance of 10mm is recommended if the edge beam and the side wall are not
connected.
