ROOFING , CLADDING & FACADES
METSÄ WOOD : WOODEN ROOF OF MACALLAN DISTILLERY RESONATES AUTHENTICITY AND HONESTY
The Macallan Distillery and Visitor Experience in Craigellachie , Speyside in Scotland is a stunning sight . Five meadow-covered hills hide the undulating roof of the distillery . The contemporary building combines a wooden roof with glass and steel . Fast , light and green Kerto LVL ( laminated veneer lumber ) was used as part of the prefabricated roof .
The building includes a Visitor Experience centre , three still houses and a mash house with a common roof and fully glazed wall . This reflects the wishes of the Macallan Distillery , a premium brand , whose single malt whisky production dates back to 1824 . The goal was a contemporary facility celebrating phasing , authenticity and honesty .
“ Kerto LVL is a very good engineered wood material , because you can trust the material dimensions ,” says Johannes Rebhahn , Sales Director International Timber Projects at Wiehag , who was responsible for the roof construction .
