HIGH QUALITY KERTO-Q ACOUSTIC FIRE DOOR
BLANKS FOR THE DOOR INDUSTRY (-33 dB)

Kerto LVL acoustic fire door blanks offer all the benefits
of timber with an outstanding resistance to bow, warp
and twist. Fire doors blanks are available with ½ hour
(FD30) or 1 hour (FD60) fire resistance. They are available
in an industry standard 2135 mm x 915 mm size and
supplied calibration sanded and unlipped, ready for
further processing.

Kerto LVL acoustic fire door blanks are made of cross laminated Kerto
LVL Q-panels. Q-panels are manufactured from 3 mm thick strength
graded softwood veneers. Approximately 20 % of the veneers are oriented
in the crosswise direction. The veneers are bonded with exterior grade
weather- and boil-resistant phenol formaldehyde adhesive.

With cross-bonded veneers, there is an essential reduction in moisture-

dependent variations along the width of the panel, and the crosswise
veneers enhance also the lateral strength and stiffness of the panel.
The result is an engineered wood product that delivers a strong and
dimensionally stable door blank that does not warp or twist, ideal for the
door industry.

Kerto LVL acoustic fire door blanks are easy to machine and do not
cause extra wear and tear on the tooling.
 KEY BENEFITS
• Stable and predictable
• Excellent thermal properties
• Dimensionally stable: does not warp or twist
• Unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio
• Lighter in weight than other fire door blank materials
• Reduction of materials when compared to stiles and rails
• Easy to machine, router, edge band, veneer and laminate
• PEFC certified - full chain of custody

SUPERIOR QUALITY ACOUSTIC FIRE DOOR BLANKS
FOR THE SPECIALIST DOOR INDUSTRY (-37 dB)

Metsä Wood Birch fire door blanks are the ideal choice
for the architectural doorset industry, hotels and public
buildings where high end acoustic performance is
required. Fire doors blanks are available with ½ hour
(FD30) or 1 hour (FD60) fire resistance. They are available
in an industry standard 2135 mm x 915 mm size and
supplied calibration sanded and unlipped, ready for
further processing.

Metsä Wood Birch acoustic fire door blanks are made of Metsä Wood
Birch plywood panels. Birch plywood is manufactured from cross-
bonded 1,4 mm thick birch veneers and bonded with exterior grade
weather- and boil-resistant phenol formaldehyde adhesive. The panels
are sanded on both sides and their surface is smooth, hard and durable.
Birch plywood is characterised by excellent strength and rigidity -related
properties.

Metsä Wood Birch plywood is easy to reprocess using different veneers or

overlays. Birch acoustic fire door blanks are calibration sanded, however
sanding through to the glue lines is possible. This is a natural property
of the surface finish and may require some remedial putty filling before
overlaying or painting.

Metsä Wood Birch acoustic fire door blanks are easy to machine and do
not cause extra wear and tear on the tooling.

GUIDELINES FOR DOOR MANUFACTURERS
ON THE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS OF
METSÄ WOOD DOOR BLANKS
To be read in conjunction with the latest Metsä Wood
door blank datasheets (pages 2-7 above).

• Metsä Wood door blanks are moisture sensitive, so care should be taken to store them in a temperature-controlled
environment. The panels should not be left exposed to long periods of storage time in damp environments.

• Timber products made from non-durable wood species must be protected when exposed to high humidity conditions
or when in contact with water.

• The best method to achieve this is to completely enclose or seal the product within a moisture impervious membrane.
This is particularly important if exposed edges will be visible. Always reseal any edges which are trimmed or altered on site.

• An oil or water based sealer or primer, such as PVA adhesive, should be used in conjunction with topcoats.
These should be applied in accordance with paint manufacturers’ instructions and guidelines.

• Particular attention should be paid to cut, exposed areas such as letterboxes, handles, locks, hinges and glazed openings.
These should be resealed to prevent moisture ingress. Always be aware of the bottom edge of the door, where the
timber could potentially sit in water contained in the threshold of the door frame.

• Paint manufacturers should be advised that not only the face of the timber will be treated, but the end grain, too.
Veneers are bonded together with exterior grade weather- and boil-resistant phenol formaldehyde adhesive.

• The door should either be pre-hung within the frame or go to the door frame pre-cut if possible, so that further trimming
is not required. If this is not possible, a label should be attached urging the final fixer to reseal any exposed areas, including
where door furniture is fixed.

• If cutting is required on site, where possible, trim the top edge and the long edge (which will hold the hinges) rather than
the two more exposed edges. Any exposed, cut edges would need to be re-sealed and painted.
